Took my Grandma here last week. When it comes to eating Chinese food she is a picky as hell. You would be too if you been cooking since you were young.
Beef Noodle Soup: For her the broth was “good”. Her broth is more complex…savory, beefy, a hint of sweet/anise, and a little spice but very balanced. That’s what I like. A lot of places makes their Beef Noodle Soup too damn salty that I can’t taste any other notes. Here has a nice savory broth with a nice touch of anise. For her also the meat and tendon were cooked well. I agree the meat and tendon here is some of the best.
Zha Jiang Mian. I liked it. She thought it was “okay” lol
Dumplings and Wontons. I liked it. “Meh” from her lol
Pork Belly. She thought it needed more fatty pieces. “Meh” from her. I thought it was good.
Stir Fry Pork and Bamboo. This was very tasty! “Meh” from her.
Bitter melon and Scrambled Eggs. This homestyle dish was done very well! She liked it.
