I was all enthused after reading the great reviews on Yelp. This place is run by a nice family and it is clean. That being said, this is not your top-notch chinese food. If any Yelpers have been to NY or San Francisco, you know what amazing chinese food is. I ordered shrimp with lobster sauce which came with chicken because according to the waitress/owner, "we don't use msg so we use chicken for flavor". Good idea not to use msg but my shrimp dish should not have chicken in it because I didn't order a combo dish. I also found chunks of whole garlic which I had to spit out. Traditionally, shrimp with lobster sauce does not have ginger as a flavoring. Lots of ginger which in most chinese dishes is great but not lobster sauce. My partner had orange chicken which consisted of large pieces chicken on a bed of duck sauce. Did not see any evidence that orange peels were used as is traditional in this dish. My partner thought the chicken had too much crust. I tasted it and thought the crust was fine. Ordered pork potstickers (dumplings) and the dumpling dipping sauce was vinegary. This is your average chinese place and I can't understand how in the world it could be Best of Phoenix?! I am sorry I wasted the gas to get there. Nice people, less than average food. and service, well, there is one person for all the tables.
