Why I Chose This Spot:

I'm frequently looking for a good Chinese restaurant.  I was in the general area to run an errand, and the map on my phone located it.  It was highly reviewed, and the photos were flattering.

 

First Impressions:

As this establishment is situated in the corner of a modern strip center, it didn't stand out.  Upon entering, the dining are was very clean, with multiple booths and tables, at which to sit.  There was not an abundance of Chinese decor.

 

The Service:

I was the only customer at the time, so I was instructed to sit where I desired.  As I sat down in the booth, the server met me at the table with a menu and took my drink order (iced tea).  He returned with it shortly and took my food order.  He was prompt and polite.  He was vigilant about keeping my tea glass filled.

 

The Menu:

The menu contained the "standard" Chinese fare; pork dishes, beef dishes, chicken dishes, etc.  The back page of the menu listed the lunch specials, which included soup-of-choice, and preference of rice.

 

What I ordered:
I ordered the Hunan Triple Delight from the lunch menu.  I requested that the dish be prepared without the bell peppers.  It was reported to be spicy, and I ordered a higher spice level than is standard.  I asked for fried rice, and Hot-and-Sour soup.  The soup was thick and creamy.  It was spicier than most, and delicious.

The Food:

Everything that I ordered was fantastic, and prepared correctly.  Even though the entree was wonderful the highlight of this meal was the Hot-and-Sour soup. 

Value for Money:
The lunch specials ranged from $8 to $10, with the Hunan Triple Delight coming in on the higher end.  Overall, I feel that this price range is good, and I received a fairly generous portion.

Would I Return?

Absolutely.  All of the food tasted great and the price/portion was more than fair.
