We stopped here while camping in the area to get takeout. It's a small place located in a strip mall (the sign is very faded so be aware of that if it's your first time here because we initially drove past it.
Chinese Food is something that really varies by the region and being from New England I knew that what I found in NY would likely be a lot different than what I'm used to.
We ordered a combo plate that came with pork fried rice, beef & broccoli and an egg roll. We also got an order of chicken wings and an order of the Thai chicken curry.
The fried rice was pretty good. It could have used more soy sauce when it was being cooked but it had a nice amount of pork and veggies mixed in. The Beef & Broccoli was tasty. The broccoli was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful but the meat was a little mushy. The chicken wings had good flavor but they were breaded which is unlike in New England where the chicken wings are marinated. I really liked the chicken egg roll; crispy on the outside and a soft middle with good flavor. However my fiancé said he would have liked the veggies to be crunchier inside. The biggest disappointment was the Thai Curry. I've had a lot of Thai curries since Thai food is my favorite cuisine. This curry lacked the coconut undertone and freshness to the sauce. Although the chicken and veggies were cooked well it tasted more like an Indian curry. So although it didn't taste bad it wasn't necessarily what we were expecting so it was a bit of a disappointment.
Prices were pretty reasonable and I may have given this place four stars because although the food had some flaws overall it was really tasty. However, the lady we placed our order with was brusque bordering on rude. She walked up to the counter, barked at as "do you know what you want to order?" and as I opened my mouth to answer her she picked up the phone, started taking another order and disregarded us. I'm sympathetic to an establishment being busy and if she needed to answer the call a simple "I'll be with you in just one moment" would have been perfectly sufficient. When we finally did give her our order she seemed almost annoyed with us for doing so and she felt dismissive.
All of that being said if I was in the area again and wanted Chinese food I wouldn't necessarily object to going back. I'd probably pass on the curry though and I'd hope the staff was having a better day! read more
