Guang-Dong Chinese Restaurant

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  I'm an aficionado of authentic, regional Chinese cuisine and that colors my review. The food served at this restaurant is okay and the service is friendly but far below the average I've experienced on the West Coast. Should I give the restaurant a higher rating because it's in Albuquerque rather than Los Angeles?  Well, that's not the way I do things. So about our meal...  
  
  Wonton soup - fresh made wontons - points for that - but the dumplings were made with egg roll skins and had an unusual form and texture. Clearly the cook was taking a short cut. Tasty though. The broth was fine.
  
  BBQ pork - tossed with an unsavory sweet sauce. The pork itself was fine.
  
  Potstickers - these were a big disappointment because they where deep fried and thus not potstickers at all. Potstickers are pan fried on one side until crunchy. Water is then added to the pan and it is covered so the dumplings steam. They often stick to the pot when removed. Deep frying the dumplings is an inexcusable shortcut that diminishes the taste and creates an unhealthy version of a pot sticker.
  
  Chow fun noodles with chicken - this was the best dish and typical of what is served in a solid Cantonese restaurant.
  
  Bottom line... The restaurant is okay in a pinch but below average.

  Great family owned restaurant.  Food is made fresh and very tasty.  Try the egg foo young, best in New Mexico.
