There’s a new Chinese restaurant in my neighborhood! It’s called Hunan Cafe. It’s your general inexpensive Chinese restaurant with the usual menu items and an 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, $5.95 lunch special which includes a main item, an egg roll and fried rice. What’s nice is that this lunch special extends to Saturday for those of us who like to eat on weekends.
Now here’s the thing. There’s already a cheap Chinese place near me called China King. I’ve had China King a few times already (Yes, I’ve lived here over a year and have only had China King a few times, I’m sorry) and their GTC is good. China King is also about half a mile away from my house whereas Hunan Cafe is almost a mile and a half! But if this new challenger can deliver the goods, I think I can handle the extra distance.
And oh, what’s this on the menu? General Tso’s Tofu? I’m excited.
Fast forward a few weeks…
I just ordered the general tso’s chicken and it was good, but not as good as China King. BUT, they still have a pretty large menu and I should try some of the other entree’s to see how they compare.
