Sunny Restaurant

I came here on a Saturday afternoon with my Dad based on the all the good reviews on Yelp.  The place was empty.  Usually when I see a restaurant completely empty I will turn around and go somewhere else, but the reviews is what brought me here.

The service was, of course, excellent since we were the only table.  We ordered the kung pao chicken and the ma po tofu and they were both delicious. The chicken was tender and cooked perfectly.  The ma po tofu also had the right amount of flavor and the tofu actually tastes really fresh which is something I've never tasted before at other restaurants.  The prices were average, reasonable.

A+++++++. Would eat here again.

I checked out this restaurant after reading all the good reviews on Yelp.

The dining room is small, cozy and the owners are friendly.  The tea was hot, just the way it should be.  I like 'hot teas', even when they are 'not tea'! ;-)
The rice was robust and nicely cooked.  I noticed that they get more take-out orders than dine-in customers.

Overall, I would give the food 3.5 stars.

I tried five dishes:

1)  Sliced Lamb with Green Onion-  This dish was very good.  Thin slices of lamb stir fried with green onions and garlic.  Great flavor and the semi fatty pieces of lamb had a nice texture.  4.5 stars.

2)  Fish with Hot Bean Sauce-  This dish was okay.    I usually like the garlic, bean, chilli, and wine flavor.  I thought that the wine was a bit overwhelming and there was just too much liquid in the sauce.  If the sauce had less water, it would have tasted more pungent like I've experienced at another restaurant.  I liked that the fish fillets were delicately cooked.  3 stars.

3)  Clams with Basil Leaves-  I felt the same way as I do about the fish with hot bean sauce.  Too much liquid in the sauce, which diluted the flavor of the dish. 3 stars.

4)  Mongolian Beef-  Standard mongolian beef stir fry with lots of green onions.  I like hot sauteed green onions so 3.5 stars.

5)  Chicken Fried Noodles-  I requested for crispy noodles and got yellow noodles stir fried with cabbage, onions, and cubes of chicken.  I like the cubes of chicken since they were fresh and flavorful.  The noodle was nice and chewy.  I prefer crispier noodles, but overall, it was a decent dish.  3.5 stars.

It may take a few tries to determine which dish is your favorite.  I think the dry, stir fried dishes are a good start.  Happy dish hunting!
