A: I must have walked by this place a million times on the way back from the gym and finally that carb binge that led me to check out Henry's. I had the three-cup chicken after seeing it was one of the restaurant's signature dishes. The sauce was flavorful and not as overwhelming as had been expected. From there it was all downhill. I could not take a single bite of this dish without biting into tiny shards of chicken bones embedded throughout the dish. The cleaver they used to carve up the chicken pieces was dull or the perhaps the help in the kitchen was pissed off having to come in to dice chicken around the holiday. The chicken pieces were bottom of the barrel that can't even find at food city(discount phoenix market) - dark meat, skin, ligaments, little meat remaining on the bone since it's all carved off for use in another dish - it's the stuff you would throw away at home or make soup with in a restaurant. Leave it to an Asian restaurant to find a way to leave nothing to waste and make an entree of fragmented bones. I also got the eggplant with garlic sauce. The dish on it's own is tasty but paired side by side with the three-cup chicken, leaves more to be desired. The essence of good Chinese/Taiwanese cooking has each dish coming out of the kitchen having it's own unique identity in flavor. They both had soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar for the base sauce garnished with the same green vegetables. The Eggplant added onions and dried chili peppers which did little to enhance the taste because the chilis were of the pre-packaged dried out variety with no flavor to release, and no effort was made to hydrate them to extract what little flavor may have been remaining before hitting the wok. If nothing else, it added some color to the dish. The rice. Who can say they've had Taiwanese food without the rice? What I was served was the bottom of the barrel. Brown skid marks from the heat. That's the stuff most Asian restaurants would save for fried rice, or better yet not serve it. This ruined the palate and brings about a question ... If a Taiwanese restaurant can't properly prepare and serve white rice, what can it competently deliver from the kitchen? The price is not commensurate with the quality product being offered with similar cuisine in the greater Tempe Chandler Mesa area but has a unique client base in proximity to asu - Taiwanese students craving Taiwanese without straying too far from campus. There are better restaurants dishing up Asian cuisine, yes, even in Arizona.

A: If all the restaurants in the area are closed and your super hungry, this is the place for you. The food is relatively inexpensive but the quality also reflects it. The selection of the sushi on the carousel belt is very low. The food from the kitchen is also not much to talk about. I believe these people stay afloat because they're across the street from the Crowne Plaza San Marcos Resort and unknowing visitors from out-of-state are trying them. The others are locals that are coming from other nearby businesses where the line is too long and "we" forget to check yelp! You know the old "I could of had a V-8" ad where the person bonks their head, Yup "I should checked YELP" BONK! They get bumped to two stars for the nice server we had and that the food was $$. CHEERS!

Q: positive

A: Sunday April 19. Travelling through Madison from Chicago. Yelped this little place and was nicely impressed. Chefs appetizer plate was mainly fried but tasty. Entree would have been the perfect amount of food. Side daal or salad served before meal. Goat curry was mild, tender and tasty. Simple atmosphere. Fast and friendly service. Would go here all the time if it were in my own neighbourhood.

A:
Chicken Pot Pie Wednesdays... How I love thee!!! I have only been here on Wednesdays and it's the only day that they serve up the Chicken Pot Pie meant for the Gods. They only make a certain number for the day but if you get there before 12:30pm, then you should be fine. It really starts getting crowded after 12pm. The Pot Pie is large and you really concentrate hard if you want to finish it in one sitting. There is no shame with taking the rest home and saving it for late night grub. Still good!! Also, definitely try the green sauce on the table. Mmmmmm mmmm. Although I haven't tried the other food there (BBQ Homestyle), I've only heard the best things. So give it all a try. But honestly, 5 stars for the Pot Pie. Enjoy! -Ian M.
