After putting it off for months, we finally got around to ordering take out here yesterday. The hype of it being in the 100 best Chinese Take outs in CT lured me in, and quite frankly, 'shame on me'.
Ok..so it's not awful, but when you get praise for being " one of the best" I expect a bit more.... When will I ever learn: This is CT...it doesn't mean the same thing. I long for the days when I could order a dish extra spicy, and actually get it done that way. Is Hunan style different here?There is definitely something missing in these parts. Maybe they cook for the CT palate...I just don't get it. While the items we ordered, 3 vegetarian, 1 chicken, were certainly edible, it just lacked something. I can't quite put my finger on it....oh yeah, FLAVOR. While I am certain this stuff just HAD to be salty, it didn't seem to have that much flavor. Thankfully I have an arsenal of Asian condiments at home so I can play mad scientist. Points for the Spring Roll....not bad at all.
And even with all my whining, I would still (maybe) order from here again, as it is certainly not as dreadful as some other choices. I have to give them points actually having the hot chili oil that I favor, and not that siracha crap that I can't stand!
Service is less than personable, but hey, I don't need chit-chat..just give me my food.
