Went for lunch. Food wasn't bad. Preparation of the meal was exceeding fast which means dishes are prepped and ready to go for lunch (dunno about dinner). That's makes me weary as to how long they are sitting in wells on the line in the kitchen. I got the hot braised chicken combo which lacked and crispiness at all which in turns means I didn't make it before they rotated the morning stock of food. Hopefully it's not zip locked n served the next day to patrons. Waiter made me feel rushed which was kinda nuts seeing as there were 6 people in total in house. Point blank if you want a fast cheap lunch by all means.
Review Source:Too bad I live an hour away from this restaurant. Â I've been on a search for good Chinese for ages and I think I'd be a regular here. Â
I went to lunch and expected the typical Chinese decor and was pleasantly surprised to find a very cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Â I don't think I would choose this place to hang out and drink a few beers with my buddies, but it had a nice bar set up too.
Our server/owner maybe? Â He was very attentive and on the ball. Â This guy couldn't stay busier. Â As soon as he was finished tending to his tables, he'd go off in some other section of the restaurant and sweep or wipe something down. Â I'm not a health nut, but I do try to make better choices now and then and they have a "weight watchers" section in the menu. Â I'm not sure if they understand the actual company or weight loss system of "Weight Watchers," but it is lower calorie/fat selections. Â I think they call the selections that because they are for those who are watching their weight. Â Basically these items are non fried, sauce on the side dishes. Â Food came out lighting fast and was presented pretty good. Â The ingredients seemed very fresh and had good flavor.
I think this place might be really good for eating unhealthy Chinese selections. Â I would love to come back and have their fried rice or schezuan chicken.
Best Chinese I've found in the St. Louis region. Lots of flavor and not too greasy or oily. Even though I live in Missouri I will drive all the way to Edwardsville to go to this place. It's that good! Oh, and the decor is cute and the service is quick and friendly. The host greets you like you are his long lost best friend that he hasn't seen in 30 years. It's hilarious. And don't miss the crab rangoon!
Review Source:"Your duck is cooking even as we speak. It is so succulent ... So succulent!" Ok, so our host Mr. Guo isn't exactly Seinfeld's "Poppy," but he is just as animated. Sure, there is a language barrier (a request for a lemon wedge leads to a lemonADE, and a conversation about gluten-free white sauce results in a shaker of white SALT. But he is SO friendly that you just want to smile and say, "Thank you very much!" The duck (with Chinese vegetables) is pretty good, too.
Review Source:Orange Chicken - FINALLY!
I have been on a quest for true Orange Chicken for awhile now. Most lesser Oriental restaurants don't serve the real deal. They will usually do one of two things: Take General Tso's chicken and take out the chile-peppers/heat and call it Orange Chicken OR they will serve you the same chicken and sauce in Sweet and Sour Chicken with a few less vegetables (or none at all) and call that Orange Chicken, too. Ever wonder why Orange Chicken never tastes like...orange?
We went to Shangri La, a place we frequent, but oddly - I've never ordered Orange Chicken there. This time I did and - warning! - if you eat their Orange chicken you can never go back to faux versions!
Candied/fried shavings of real orange peel in the sauce which was THICK with real honey over perfectly breaded and firm white meat chicken. The sauce is incredible. Does it taste like orange? Absolutely!
Get there!
I like the decor in this place. The food is just okay. It's super fast though, if you are dining in you may be in and out in 20 minutes! That's the same with takeout too. You may not even have to call ahead, the wait is only a few minutes, which makes me wonder, what the heck is going on inside that kitchen.
Every time I am there, there is a man that is a barman/waiter/host. He always has the same facial expression and it feels like he is screaming at you when he talks to you. It's pretty funny!
The food portions are huge and I am not kidding! 2 people could eat on one entree and there can still be leftovers. The taste is just okay, not my top Chinese place.
