What! $5.25 lunch special? Soup, eggroll, wonton, then fried rice and entree? You've got to be kidding me right? Sorry, Charlie, but that is correct!\n\nThis sit down Chinese Restaurant is near my school where the majority of teachers get their lunch fix. I joined some of them during a summer planning day. The restaurant is small, but the service is big. You can usually hit or miss with Asian service. Why do I say that? Because I'm Asian. Although they are friendly, smiles all around, and know their repeat customers.\n\nI chose the hot & sour soup. What do I look for in my hot & sour? I'll tell you what I don't like. I don't like watery run down soup. It has to have a level of thickness. It also can't be too hot or sour (obviously). Both flavors need to compliment one another, not overpower. I do like a heavy dose of tofu and veggies as well. As a result, this soup seemed to meet the criteria, and was quite nice to taste.\n\nThe eggroll and wonton were not overly breaded, and the crispiness had a nice crunch that did not get messy. I chose the orange chicken for my entree and it hit the spot. The flavor from the sauce was right on, and it was evenly deep fried to provide a subtle crunch that did not take away from the chicken.\n\nOverall, I like the lunch special and service. I don't want to say typical Chinese food, but they are above average at what they do in regards to service and quality of food. I will definitely be back again and look forward to good Chinese food.
