This is perhaps my favorite Chinese food place that I keep forgetting the existence of. I've been here on a number of occasions over the years, but always with friends. So as a good friend of mine was in town we decided to hit the place up, as he was craving Chinese.
As it was Labor Day and many places were closed the small dining room was pretty hopping. We were quickly seated and though it was a rather clean and comfortable room the amount of people did slightly hinder easy conversation. But we powered on.
The service was solid. Personable without being personal. I was well tended to with my profound demand for liquids. (I drink a lot of water and/or diet coke.)
After we were seated and had our drinks ordered, they brought out these little bowls of fried wonton strips with sweet and sour for dipping. I had not ever seen that down in a restaurant of this type and as I was quite famished it was well received. The strips were well fried and the sweet and sour was perhaps the best I've ever had. If it wasn't house made then it was bought in the back alley of a factory that made wishes come true.
The entries I tried (I talked everybody to let me have a bite of theirs in the name of bloggery) were the General Tso's Chicken, Pon Pon Chicken, Teryaki Chicken Bowl, and the Tangerine Chicken. All were quite delicious. The Pon Pon had a slightly different breading then the General's and Tangerine, but had a nice texture. A little more chewy in contrast to the crunchy. The Teryaki was unbreaded but well cooked.
The one critique I can give of the food I had, and I admit it was a small portion of the menu, was that the different sauces had many similarities. Not to say that they tasted the same but the differences were more nuanced. If they had been mixed together I probably wouldn't have noticed. But... that being said they were all delicious and I look forward to coming to this place again.
