There are old establishments sprinkled around the city that have withstood the test of time. For one reason or another, generations keep returning. Trendy storefronts have come and gone around the classic Orange Garden, yet it still stands. Grandma asked for some sesame chicken, specifically from OG, so naturally we obliged and over did it with General Tso's, kungpao beef, and shrimp in lobster sauce as well. She must know a secret we didn't.
I should have stopped at the egg roll. Besides a crippling stomach thing this morning, the entrees left me incredibly disappointed. Sorry for the one measly photo, but I had to show you the sad excuse for kungpao. The peanuts were the only indication it was KP; besides that, it was bland, overdone with cornstarch, and boring.
Shrimp with lobster was a little better, but cornstarch was again a main ingredient, and it too was one-note. I'm not into the breaded chicken dishes, but I tried them anyway. General Tso had an okay sweet and sour flavor, and they both suffered from overbreaded chicken. It was a mess of chicken and dumplings.
Honestly, I would give it one star, but we only took it to carry out, so maybe inside service is better. This place is a dinosaur, and how it has survived all these years is beyond me. Is this everyone's grandma's favorite Chinese restaurant?
