it was a spur of the moment decision that i made to try out this restaurant. the restaurant is located in a little strip mall alongside an insurance company, a sushi place and a hofffbrau steakhouse. it's very clean and had twelve table set ups inside. have a seat and within a minute or so you will receive a very thorough menu.
an older man welcomed me and brought me a menu and water and gave me a few minutes to decide what i wanted. they have twenty-six lunch specials alone which is quite surprising. i settled on the ginger chicken which is served over steamed rice along with the soup of the day, which today was chicken with rice. as soon as he wrote my order down, he turned and quickly left before i was able to order a thai iced coffee.
the small cup of chicken rice soup was lifeless, more of a broth than soup it was warm but did not exhibit any flavor whatsoever. my plate of ginger chicken came out, after the soup. as stated on the menu, this entree, like their curries, come already plated over steamed rice. rice does not come in a serving bowl. i am not a big mushroom fan, so i was astonished, when i saw that the ginger chicken had these massive whole and sliced buttonmushroomsalong with a few enoki thrown in for good measure. i'm not going to ding them for that. in fact i don't think i have ever seen so manymushroomson an entree at one time. if you lovemushroomsyou just hit the jackpot! the menu stated themushroomsare dried, but that is not the case. they are fresh. i wish the chicken had more ginger flavor though. there was a good three servings on the plate but i was ultimately disappointed once again by the lack of flavor of the sauce and the chicken.
i found out later that this restaurant used to be on broadway in haltom city many years ago. i had stopped there once and had the same reaction to their food. too bland for my taste. i will say that firefighters from two different departments were there before and after i left, so this place does have a following. just not me.
