I had been craving chinese for a few days. With the holidays upon us, I had been too busy lately to head over to China Town to my usual hotspots. I did a yelp search and here I am. To my surprise upon pulling up, it’s a takeout with a few tables. I made my self comfortable, while reviewing the menu. Since it was around dinner time on a Sunday evening, their phone kept ringing off the hook. While placing my order, I had asked if the lobster fried rice actually contained lobster. Sonny, one of the cooks and quite possibly the owner overheard my question. He immediately walked over and in a friendly tone stated that no lobster was currently available and that king crab legs would be used instead. I enthusiastically went for the king crab leg fried rice. In addition, I also ordered salt & pepper scallops. Sonny, a super courteous fellow, mentioned that he makes all his sauces in-house. Speaking to me in between adding ingredients to the wok for upcoming pickup orders. As I waited for my order, the three cooks were busy at their woks. At least twenty orders were picked up in the fifteen to twenty minutes I waited for my order. Sonny, personally walked each entree over to me as he noticed that I was going to dine there. The rice could of used a pinch more salt but otherwise it was fabulous. The king crab meat was fresh and plentiful among the long grain rice, bean sprouts, diced vegetables and egg. The salt & pepper scallops were stupendous. Wow! They had a spicy bite too. The scallops came plated over napa cabbage or green leaf lettuce. Also, a few crowns of cold broccoli were included on the sides. The scallops were dressed with a relish of diced grilled onions, green and red peppers and hot pepper slices. Everything was simply amazing. See you soon Sonny!
Decent Chinese food but I’ve definitely had better. They put bean sprouts in the fried rice (blech) and the General Tso’s chicken tasted kind of weird. Maybe it was too sweet? I’m not really sure but I’ve definitely had better Chinese food. I’m not sure I’ll be going back – maybe if I hadn’t listened to all the ‘hype’ about this place and built up such high expectations it might’ve been better. I personally like Elena Wu’s better.
