The restaurant itself is basically a hole in the wall. There is NO buffet (I consider that a good thing!). There are 2 booths and I think there were 6 tables, mostly for 2 people. If you eat in, you'll get your food on a styrofoam plate or in a to-go container and they have plastic forks for you to use. I definitely got the impression that it's mostly a to-go kind of place. Also, the people upfront were Chinese, but so were the people in back, in the kitchen!
Okay, so my mom and I ate there and I have to admit I have been back a few times, because they're fast and easy to get to in Bella Vista. Here's what we've tried so far:
Combination Plate: Pork Fried Rice with Sesame Chicken and Eggroll: The rice was good, but I didn't notice too much about it. Dishes here come with White Rice unless you get some kind of combo plate. The chicken was a bit sweet and covered in sesame seeds. I liked it. The eggroll was actually fried, but somewhat generic. I don't think it's homemade.
Chicken with Garlic Sauce: It's listed as a Hot dish, but I found it semi-mild. I mean, I could taste a little heat, but not that much. I did find a little round pepper in it though. There are a ton of vegetables in this dish, especially broccoli, and I really liked it. Had a sweet undertone.
Mongolian Beef: Also listed as Hot, and this time I could tell, but it wasn't overly hot. Lots of regular onions and green onions, which I love. Also had a sweet undertone.
Spring Roll: My mom ate this, so all I can say is that it looked like a Chinese spring roll.
Overall, I liked it. The 3 dishes I've tried so far all had a sweet undertone to them, but that's fine with me. I also like the fact that they can make it hot; too many places nowadays have Americanized the crap out of their food. I'm provisionally giving them 4 stars because the food is good and fast, but I haven't tried their noodles yet. Also, they have stuff on their menu that I've never heard of, so I'm looking forward to experimenting!
