I had heard a lot of good things about this place, so I decided to reward myself with some nice Chinese food after work. To be honest, I rate this restaurant a solid "meh". But hear me out.I don't usually do meh reviews, only ones or fives, so let me tell you why I rated them a four.But first the meh.Their crab puffs are like every other fast food Chinese place: greasy fried chunks of dough with crab-scented cream cheese specks in the very center of the puff. But, hey, they were 2 for a dollar. Same with their spring rolls (2 for $1.99), although they managed to taste creamy, once you get past the overly-fried bits.The sweet and sour sauce was tasty, but extraordinarily thin. More like something you would pour over a salad than something you would dip an appetizer in.The hot and sour soup was, once again, pretty much like every other fast food takeout Chinese place: heavy on the corn starch, tofu, and vinegar, light on anything of any real substance. Although it did have a delightful kick in the finish. It could have used more sour, but the hot was perfectly on point. By this point in my meal I was thinking "well, this is standard fare...."Here comes the good part.The staff (I'm guessing the owners) were incredibly charming and helpful, and the atmosphere of the restaurant itself is like you've gone to your favorite aunt's house for dinner. Even though I ordered a lot of food to sample their offerings, my main interest was in having a hot, tasty snack, so I ordered the daily special of General Tso chicken with a side of fried rice.Oh my goodness.Seriously.The chicken was tender and plump, no gross bits, no oddly chewy bits. The breading was just enough to hold the spices and sauce (which was DELICIOUS!), and the fried rice was *chef's kiss*Their fried rice had the ubiquitous peas and carrots, but they were a subtle accent rather than the overpowering offering you get at most other places. And the rice itself was so tender and fluffy!So I won't be messing around with any fried appetizers or soups again, but I would MUCH rather give Asian Kitchen Grill my $5 for the daily special (orange chicken or general TSO chicken, with one free side) than buy some lame, dry burger.Edit: I've been back for the General TSO chicken several times, and it has consistently been amazing.
Wanted to try this place for the daily special but went instead with the 3 meat option. Despite having incredible prices...the food was AMAZING. Plenty of spice....incredibly tender chicken and just an amazing blend of spice and tanginess.You can tell the dishes are made with love and expertise, versus quick mass-produced sauces. (The sauces had such an amazing blend of spices and depth of flavor!)The lady who made ours was also so warm and nice.This will DEFINITELY be one of our go-to spots....I am so glad we found such a gem of a restaurant! A++!
I think the most disappointing thing is how good the food actually can be when it comes out fresh! I ordered the two entree meal and got the Orange Chicken and General Tso's Chicken with Chow Mein as my starch.The chicken was delish and was fried and sauced up perfectly. The only bummer is how little food you get! Four pieces of each, and maybe 5 ounces of the noodles. Disappointing!Maybe make it so the price of each dish is little more, but then up the amount of food in a plate? I should've taken a picture, but the food was gone before I even knew what happened.
Maybe it's the covid very limited menu, but of the only 2 dishes they had for lunch, both were bland and flavorless (think it was szechuan chicken and broccoli beef or something).
The guy was super nice! He was the only one there and was cooking he greeted me and apologized. Then he made me a fresh batvh of fried rice.. Even though they had some in the window. He went above and beyond and very friendly!!
I love this little restaurant:))) They have very delicious food and cheap prices.
Good food, especially for the price. The service has been great some visits and absolutely awful/disrespectful on others.
Super good and inexpensive! Hidden gem for sure.
Absolutely love this place! The food is good and the prices are great. Definitely recommend!
Great food. Love being able to choose the ingredients for your stir fry. Definitely recommend.
