I visited the location on Lee Trevino. Service was good, the boy that cashed me out was very sweet.The ambiance was eh. Very sin ganas. But I picked up to eat at home so not a big deal.The food though, very disappointing. The fried rice was mushy and had no flavor. I had to put so much soy sauce to get something out of it. The moogoo gai pan was very disappointing. Also lacking flavor. I almost felt like I needed to put salt on my food. I couldn't finish my food and I feel a bit sick. So I dunno, I won't be going back.

Service was fine. Ambiance is your usual hole-in-wall place. I was the first customer of the day and I ordered to go and all the seats were still on the tables. I wanted to sit since my meal was supposed to take 20min. Maybe I could've flipped a chair myself but an employee was mopping the floor. I wasn't sure if that would be disrespectful to the employee. The food was ok. Not good but not bad. I won't be returning for another try. Pork Wonton was bland, fried rice needed soy sauce to taste like anything, I had a combos stir fry, it was eh. Nothing was good enough to want to give this place another try. Nothing was bad so if you don't mind that then you'll be ok here. The pork ribs were ok.

So this is a brand new place, but not new to El Paso, they have a location already on the West Side on Mesa. But I had never been cuz I don't get over there too much, but I had seen the "opening soon" banner on this location every other day as I passed by and I was craving Chinese and my favorite place on Lee Trevino is Closed on Tuesdays, so I decided to give it a try. It's not really "decorated" inside as a Chinese place. It's just white walls, simple tables. But I loved the porcelain S&P shakers and the Soy Sauce pitcher on the table. And let me warn you, it is the full strength Soy sauce! In case you have been enjoying low sodium at home or other places, this only takes a little and punches a POW of saltiness. But I digress. They have all the typical Chinese specialties on their menu, which the menus themselves they must have brought some over from the Mesa location cuz the menu i got was old and tattered and and the clear plastic was scuffed from age. I understand trying to save a dime with opening costs, but seriously, get new menus to hand to new customers at a new place. You only get one time to make a first impression. Only one girl was taking orders from behind a counter when you arrive, and asks if you are here for pick up, she did this with several who came in, but if you aren't and are there to eat in, she tells you to sit anywhere and she will be with you in a moment, then she comes out of a side door about half way down the long dining room and brings the menu and takes your order. Very nice, pleasant and easy knowledgeable about the menu items. I ordered the Happy Family, which theirs comes with Beef, chicken and shrimp, as well as various vegetables, broccoli, carrots, water chestnuts, celery, onions and mushrooms in a brown sauce. And the lunch special comes with a spring roll, choice of soup and choice of rice. I got Egg Drop Soup and. Chose fried rice. With iced tea. She came back with my tea and soup and fried noodles, but you can hear the cook or chef working a WOK, in the kitchen. This got me excited. I love fresh wok fried rice, it has a certain, char to it that's so delicious, and it's better than premade, sitting wait to be scooped from a pan and plated. I had asked for some green onions on my egg drop soup and they happily obliged. This soup was delicious. The place I normally go On Lee Trevino has my favorite Egg Drop soup in El Paso...and I eat it every chinese place I go ...but now this, this is a close second if not fighting for first place. Sometimes at places I need to add soy sauce to my soup to help with flavor, not this, the temperature, the consistency, the flavor were all just perfect. I added a few dashes of pepper which I enjoy and that was it. My food came and everything was steaming! Lots of meat in my Happy Family, and I mean several Shrimp,.not just 2 which is what I get some places when I order the lunch. It was delicious, needed no soy sauce or anything. The spring roll was crispy, hot, the veggies inside were slightly mushy but still had some crispiness. I did pour some soy sauce inside it, so good. Loved that the carrots in the Happy Family were Crinkle cut like french fries!!! Little sticks! I stead of huge thick slices or big chunks. The way all they meats and veggies were treated was superb. Nice size slices of Chicken and beef, I even had to cut some in half. All veggies well cut similar sizes. But that fried rice. That's where things, today, went awry. This rice had issues. Either it was way overcooked the day before and turned to mush and they tried to use it anyway and stir fry it cuz they didn't want to waste it. OR they had just cooked fresh Rice today, it was not cooled, and then they tried to fry it and it just was mushy and sticky. It had no char. It had a couple of peas and carrots in it, but you need single, individual grains of rice, with fried rice. This just wasn't. It was like over steamed rice then tried to fry and it just got worse. And it tasted funny, like it had a bunch of garlic powder In it?? It was the only thing I left and didn't eat. It was just unpleasant. So maybe they are still working a few kinks out. I will come back and try them again. Everything else was delicious and service was great.
