Different but not in a good way. I love new food & while chens is ok its really just average as chinese food goes, so despite the reviews (maybe it was teething pains i thought) I wanted to give five rice a chance. The food is very different than what is considered american chinese cuisine, & i would have been fine with if it was flavorful but it wasnt. The egg roll is more like a samaosa? a very mild curry flavor with peanut butter...the problem was the texture was just a mushy paste. The general tso chicken was cooked fine, not dry at all, but the sauce isnt a general tso sauce & wasnt flavored. It was very heavy in amount, very thick in consitency, & seemed like a tomato based sauce? And it had no spice even though it said hot. It had a slight ketchup flavor & tastes more like a cheap bbq sauce, it was ok but not good. The vegetable lo mein isnt lo mein noodles (maybe chow mein?) which i would have been ok with if they told you but they dont & the sauce wasnt lo mein flavors either, in fact it wasnt flavored at all. The vegetables were cooked well & lots of variety so that was nice but not a soy based sauce, the sauce was a thick white flour sauce (see pics) that was flavorless. My husband got chicken with pea pods, it also had nice chicken & cooked vegetables but the sauce was the same bland white sauce as on the lo mein. We couldnt figure out what the sauce was other than broth & flour maybe, not even garlic or onion. Well now i can say I tried them but unfortuatly cant say i will go again. Prices were average & no issues there. i ordered online which were the same price as in the menu we received. There is a convienece fee added with my online order but i could see that before checking out.

This was our second time here...It is a very quaint place for delicious Chinese food. I know they emphasize on carry out but their small dining room is very clean and the service is wonderful. It's now my daughter's and my favorite place. It's worth the 20 minute drive. My daughter is a picky eater and she loves the chicken with pea pods meal with the white rice. I had the Kung Pao chicken and the flavor and veggies are very good however my chicken tasted reheated. But my daughter's was delicious. Hot tea is good. I saw some of the other negative reviews but We all have a different palette, so give it a try for yourself. We will definitely be back.
