This restaurant may be compact, but its menu goes on and on. After studying the overwhelming choices for five minutes, I decided on the Chicken Lo Mein ($5.95) off the lunch page at the back of the menu.
The lunch came with soup (I recommend the hearty hot and sour), egg roll (large, vegetarian) and a mound of moist fried rice. I added soy sauce to the rice, and before each bite of the egg roll I dabbed it in the sweet and sour sauce.
The lo mein noodles were delectable and reasonably firm, but it was the chicken that was really special. There were numerous large strips of fresh chicken, along with a few bean sprouts, amid the noodles. Before each bite of the chicken strips I dabbed them in the hot mustard.
