A local recommended this place to me, and I thought "How different can Chinese fast food be?" But no I was wrong. This place is amazing. In the category of Chinese fast food (distinctly different from sit down restaurants) this is simply the best one I've tried.
Food I've tried: (* = my favorite)
- I got the 2 item combo ($15). Portion is quite large and packed, my veggie lo mein was practically trying to escape through the sides.
- VEGGIE LO MEIN: it was so clean, not oily at all, not salty at all. Paired well with the other sides.
- CRAB RANGOON* (4 pieces): I am used to crab rangoon being little bundles of heart attacks, but this one tasted cleaner. The dough was not overly oily, it was nice and crunchy. The filling was delicious! It wasn't the usual cream cheese ball with 1% crab flavor that I expected. There was actual visible chunks of crab in there! Truly the first of its kinds that I have encountered.
- BONELESS SPARE RIBS: very tender, not tendon-y at all, good marinade. There was no weird chunks of fat hanging off it, the sauce was not overly sweet. Seasoning was pretty spot on, especially in the saltiness level as well.
Atmosphere:
- Limited seating, definitely a to go place. The line was very long when I got here, despite the other stores around being pretty empty.
- Given how busy everything is, can be a hectic in trying to order.
Service:
- I got my food quick.
- Like any Chinese fast food place, you order on a "conveyer belt" system where they scoop the food into the box as you pick which one you would like.
Overall:
- The best Chinese fast food I have had. Yes, the price is higher than a typical Chinese fast food restaurant, but considering price for value it is 100% worth it.
