Ate at China Restaurant for the first time today, and had the Chef Special, Singapore Fried Rice and an egg roll for $5.99. It was a good-sized pile of fried rice with beef, chicken, shrimp, egg and vegetables, fried in curry sauce so it was spicy but not TOO spicy. I enjoyed it. Figured there’d be enough left to put in a to-go box for local homeless person Scratchy, but I guess I was hungry. Sorry, Scratchy, maybe next time.<\/p>\n
They have two $5.99 Chef Specials every day, and in most cases you can choose an egg roll, fries, or fried rice as your side. Most days they have one special that’s spicy and one that’s not. They also have a $4.99 lunch menu where you can choose from about 10 items which are pretty standard at Chinese restaurants.<\/p>\n
One thing though – it took 20 minutes for them to get the fried rice out to the table (they did bring the egg roll after only a few minutes), and I stood at the counter for another 5 waiting to pay. If you work for a boss who gets upset if you run over your alloted time for lunch, this may not be the best place to go.<\/p>\n
You can tell they’ve had problems with the bums by the signs on the wall. There’s a sign saying that drink refills must be consumed within the restaurant. They also charge for to-go packets of soy sauce, duck sauce, and mustard. Only in Downtown do you see signs like this, but if you’ve spent any amount of time among the “locals” here, you understand why those signs are necessary.<\/p>\n
Overall, a good meal. I’ll go back on other days of the week to try more Chef Specials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
