Got take out from Hong Kong last night. The fried dumplings (Wol Tip) were quite good. Different than their "American" cousins, but very tasty. Fried wontons (Wong Ton Frito) tasted a little fishy to me but still, OK. We enjoyed the Spring rolls (Rollo Primavera). They are identical to most of those served in American Chinese restaurants. Disappointingly, the "American" condiments that we are accustomed to, Duck sauce and spicy mustard, are not available. The sweet and sour sauce is pretty good though.
Rob tried the sweet and sour chicken (Pollo Agridulce) and liked it. I had the almond chicken (Pollo Almendrado) and while the flavor was pretty good, the texture of the chicken left much to be desired. Their combination fried rice (Arroz Chow Fan) is exactly what you expect it to be and very good. We did not try any of the desserts but they have Flan, cookies and several cakes. Both canned and 2 liter sodas are available.
In all the food was quite good although limited in variety, the staff couldnīt be any nicer, the restaurant is super clean and we will be back. For eat in, my choice will still always be China City but this is a good, fast take out alternative.
