All the food here is well prepared, fresh taste. The house fried rice is light and flavorful. We’ve eaten here for a number of years and have never been disappointed.
The lunch specials are generous for one person. Starting with a bowl of soup. (We’ve had hot ’n sour, egg drop, a tomato veggie, veggie in broth all very good!) followed by the entree and choice of either fried or steamed rice on a plate.
Favorites – sauteed three ingredients, mongolian beef, prawns and snow peas, almond chicken, string beans and pork, ( an eggplant dish – spicy but do not remember the name – very good!) or lemon chicken.
Dinner is the same, a bit larger portions with a higher price tag. The Mu Shu, chowmein, egg rolls and pot stickers are all very good.
The worst item we’ve had their – the coke. It’s a bit on the syrupy side, so we stick to hot tea and water.
Service is excellent.
Dishes I tried:
Sauteed Three Ingredients
Shrimp, beef, chicken sauteed with fresh veggies – usually brocolli, zucchini, peppers – in a well flavored sauce. I’ve had it a few times were it was a bit oily but it’s always delicious and fresh tasting.
Prawns with Snow Peas
Perfectly cooked prawns with snow peas in a mild sauce. Family favorite.
Sizzling Rice Soup
Flavorful broth, generous amounts of veggies, prawns, with just the right amount of sizzling rice.
