Price: $3.50

Rice: Yellow

Style: Chinese

Description: The sign on the wall should have been a warning. It said "If you like our food, please tell your friends. If you don't, then remember, silence is golden." Actually I kind anticipated the place would be rather bland and I was right. The rice was nothing special. Had the usual frozen carrots and peas, barely cooked broccoli, mushrooms, onions and what I'm guessing was cabbage. I also got some teriyaki steak and while it was a heaping amount for relatively little money it was quite chewy, about what I'd expect from a fast food chinese place.

Price: $3.95

Rice: Yellow

Style: Chinese

Description: Never go to a chinese place when nobody else is there and the cooks are eating. They had some amazing looking food that wasn't on the menu, of course. Anyway, I went with the girlfriend and had some veggie fried rice and steamed dumplings (because earlier we had watched Anthony Bourdain in China eating some awesome looking dumplings). The rice was nothing special. I think I'm getting more critical as I go along. This could have been a 2 or 3. It had both frozen carrot cubes and sliced carrots, frozen peas, bamboo, water chestnuts, snow peas, broccoli and cabbage.

Price: $5.75 (hot wings with veggie fried rice)

Rice: Yellow

Style: Chinese

Description: I'm still trying to get veggie fried rice but also order some meat. This time I got the Hot Wings with veggie fried rice. This appears mostly to be a takeout joint though they do have some booths to sit in. My biggest blog fan and I decided to hit this joint together. She had veggie lo mein (I believe). The rice wasn't that good (and neither were the wings for that matter, they were undercooked and greasy). The rice had the typical broccoli, onions, frozen carrots and peas and some mushrooms. It was nothing to write home about and actually not very good.
