Wow! I haven't been to Mosa in a long time. I needed some takeout Asian food as I was heading into work that night, and I knew, when in doubt, go Asian!
The portions are a good size and the food is terrific. I ordered the pan fried potstickers. Normally I get them steamed, but while the wife is away, the husband will play. The potstickers were succulent pillows filled with pork and seasoning. When dipped in the sweet, yet tangy potsticker sauce, I had the perfect bite. 5 come to an order, and my only "critique" is they increase it to six so World War 3 doesn't begin over "who gets the last potsticker". They weren't overly greasy, but I will say, they did soften a bit since I ordered them to-go. That's my sacrifice, and not a result of their cooking.
I ordered Ed's Favorite Noodles with beef and Mongolian beef (my favorite) with no rice.
The noodles, thinner than a Lo Mein, but so delicate. The flavor wasn't too salty, the seasoning on point. I ordered a Mild-Medium spice level, and next time, I will ask for medium. The beef was tender, not chewy, and cut into chunks versus strips of beef that evaporate in the wok. Right out of the box, it was the perfect fork bite of food. The leftovers It reheated nicely at the office, and the smells....OMG.
Mongolian Beef - don't order this if you don't like onions. There's quite a bit in there which is fine for me. Again, the sauce has a perfect balance of saltiness, the ginger is perfect. It doesn't overpower the dish, it doesn't burn (if that's a concern of yours) but just has a nice mouthfeel. That too reheated nicely at the office. In fact, I combine both the noodles and beef together (after reheat) and that was an award winning combo!
Takeout is easy. Order online or call ahead. They bring it to your car. Remember the classic Chinese food "box" containers? If not, watch Seinfeld, Friends, or any other quintessential New York show, and you'll know what I'm talking about. The problem with using the "old style" boxes was they had a metal carrying handle. Well, Mosa found a distributed that has beefed up the materials of said box, so it retains heat better AAAAAND, no metal handle. So reheat away without blowing up your microwave.
I can't wait to go back. I live 20 minutes away from this place, and we will make the trek to order out again.
