We ordered far too much food as I didn't realize how large the portions were going to be! However, I wanted to be sure to try a few new items in addition to some items I would typically order at a Chinese restaurant.
We began with the tofu vegetable soup. I appreciated the bounty of vegetables, in addition to the the soup not being over salted.
Next, we ordered sesame rice balls. This was a completely new dish for me and my mother. They were served in a broth and were quite sweet. The texture was quite different so it takes some getting used to but the flavor was fabulous.
We shared the Szechuan green beans, which were flavorful without being served with so much watery soy sauce, which can happen at other restaurants.
Next, my mother ordered the Kung Pao Shrimp. She liked that the shrimp was not overpowered by a thick coating of breading and was just lightly breaded.
I ordered the Shrimp and Vegetables with Pan Fried Noodles. I don't know what I was expecting but I didn't expect it to look like it did. However, it was nice that by the time I ate some of the middle portion of the dish, the noodles were soaked with the sauce and a bit easier to eat than the noodles that were crispier towards the edge. There was probably a bit more sauce than what was needed for the dish but it was light and flavorful.
The service was outstanding. Our server, David, was very attentive and willing to answer any of our questions. Every server and employee went out of their way to greet us, ask us if we needed anything, and thank us for coming. I would recommend dining here if you have a large group, so you can try a lot of different dishes. Or, expect to take a lot home as leftovers!
