Jim ordered Beef Chow Foon (beef with wide noodles) and Pork Dumpling Soup. I ordered spring rolls (vegetarian) and ginger-scallion lo mein. We ordered chicken fried rice for the kids.
The lo mein was a big hit with me, Jim and (unbelievably) Ian!
It was a pretty simple dish, just noodles, spiced with ginger and mixed with scallions. It was light and tasty.
Jim thought the food was very good, but was hoping for something a bit spicier. Annie and Ian gave thumbs down to the fried rice (but Jim thought it was tasty). The kids give thumbs down to just about all the food we make that isn't pasta, fruit or hot dogs. But they gave huge points for the fact that this place included chopsticks in the takeout bag!
A couple of other points. First, it's cash only. Not a big deal, but you have to be ready. Also, diners could probably eat-in there, but it's a small place and the eat-in facilities aren't kid-friendly (no high chairs, no public restroom). It is located on one of Quincy's busiest streets, so parking seems like it could be an issue, except that they state on their menu that they have more parking behind their building.
Their menu is a lot smaller than many Chinese restaurants, and I actually appreciate that. I'm not one of those people who enjoy getting handed the phone book when I'm expecting a menu. But, on the downside, there were very few vegetarian options.
Our verdict? This place had delicious food. We would go back.
