Spring Chinese Cuisine And Pho

Forgive the potentially wordy review ahead -- I have a bit to say, so I'll try to break it down. For those who want the short version -- good, go give it a try. The atmosphere-- This is a more casual restaurant -- it evokes a pleasantly simple Cafe feeling. I didn't feel awkward or out of place walking in. I came while it wasn't busy, as a note. The service-- I noted after ordering my takeout that it was my first visit and I was going to peruse the menu for future visits. The lady on duty took time to point out some of the more popular items, tell me about scheduling orders for convenient pickup, and even chattered about food with me while she worked and I waited. I didn't feel like I was a bother or like I was being rushed out. The food-- I got an appetizer sampler as a snack since I'd skipped lunch, but it was too early for dinner. The sampler came with fried shrimp, Rangoon, egg rolls, and spring rolls. Shrimp: the server told me shrimp was pretty popular there, and I can see why. It had a cleaner taste than most I'd had elsewhere, and the tempura was perfectly crisp. Spring rolls: despite their fried form, I would feel okay ordering this if I wanted something light. The texture of the vegetables and vermicelli was lovely, and it wasn't strong tasting. Egg rolls: these are MEATY. Probably the heaviest items on the platter, they did not skimp on the meat. Very tasty, but beware overindulgence if you have a meal coming. Rangoon: these are simple-tasting, the cream cheese being these star flavor, of course. There is a generous dollop in these. Now, simple is good, here. The cream cheese isn't sweet, which some places have begun doing, so these are a welcome change. Overall, I was happy and will return again sometime, with friends.

Stopped here to get some Boba drinks, but then we decided just to have dinner. Very casual & small. We liked the Bobba drink, but when we asked if they were cold like a smoothie or more liquid the girl wasn’t sure. They ended up being a blended smoothie type. Good flavor and refreshing for a hot day. We ordered a couple plates, but when we asked a few questions the girl couldn’t answer what was in the plates. She went to ask and got back to us which was great, but she really should be more familiar with the products. Everything tasted good so that’s a plus. We will probably go back again and try more dishes.

Nice restaurant with very good Chinese food. I had the lemon chicken. It's not overly flashy but the service and food are great. Googled for a restaurant on the way home and found this one. It's a little ways from my house but if I'm passing through the area again I would definitely stop here again to try some of the other dishes
