I'm hesitant to review Nee House because I pretty much just don't want anyone else to know about it, but this place is the best for Chinese food in the Valley and that alone is something every decent citizen deserves to know.\n\nYes, the service isn't the greatest, but some advice to diners going out expecting a thorough, smiley staff: Don't go to a Chinese restaurant. It's all about the food here and that is why Nee House gets 5 stars in my book.\n\nBear with me as I leave the actual ordering of food to the real pros in my family, but there is a handful of dishes that are musts. The Westlake Soup is a great, clean way to start off the meal and makes you feel good about yourself before indulging in the greasy amazingness that follows. As far as meat goes, the HK Style/Peking/Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs are deliciously sauced and have the right amount of meaty bite to go with it. The Peking Duck is a go-to, as well. Tender pieces of duck with crispy skin served with hoison sauce, green onions, shrimp chips and slightly-sweet, soft buns (ohhh yeah) to wrap it all up in. I'm a big fan of their Crispy, House-Fried Noodles served with a plethora of meats, seafood and bok choy. They make a pretty good steamed fish (it's served whole, with a head- so don't freak out) if you're being health conscious. It's served in a brothy, soy-saucey, gingery, scallionish sauce and is clean and simple.\n\nAnd lastly, if you are to eat ONE thing here, maybe even one last thing for your entire lifetime, let it be the Kowloon Style Crab..unless you're allergic to shellfish or something. It's a whole crab, served fried and covered in a ton of crispy garlic and jalapenos. The crab shell has a little layer of deep-fried goodness and I can eat the garlic straight up alone or on top of plain rice. Yep, it's that good, and yep, I'm that disgusting.\n\nIf you're a fan of the basic sweet and sour chicken...fried rice...egg rolls...etc. etc., I'm sure that stuff is good here, but I dare you to venture out of the boring and try some more authentic dishes. The best way to dine here is to come with a big group and get a lot of different things to try, authentically Family Style! And if you don't like it, then whatever, I hear there's another Chinese restaurant down the street that serves up crappy basics that might be more to your liking.
