As reviewed last year, lunch was very inexpensive. Several people may order different dishes and have it "family" style.

The dinner menu was extensive and the dishes were prepared more carefully. The garnishes were beautifully crafted, something quite wonderful for Yakima.

The wine list featured some very fine wine from this area at extremely reasonable prices. Surprisingly, they offered wines from Portteus Vineyards, again, not commonly found anywhere. Although I couldn't quite picture what I would find on the menu to go with a great cab.

The menu was huge with many authentic Chinese dishes. An additional luncheon menu offered dishes ranging from $4.95 and up. The luncheon menu dishes were all served with a cup of soup, a salad, and fried or steamed rice on the side.

The lunch special Kung Poa Chicken had lots of tender chunks of chicken breast, cashew, and diced vegetables. It was properly spicy with pieces of dried chili pepper. Great thing about it is that you can pick out the pieces if the dish was too hot for your liking. Most importantly I detected "wok essence" - something that happens only when food is cooked on really hot woks. This was something not commonly found in restaurants around here. The dish was $5.95.

Another dish that I had was the Hot Braised Fish ($6.95). It was pieces of white fish lightly battered, deep fried then braised in a red sweet and sour sauce with onions and chili. It was done nicely but a little too sweet for me. My wife had the Walnut Shrimp ($7.95). Peeled shrimps were lightly coated with something like mayonnaise and stir-fried with walnuts in a very hot wok. This dish was served on an iceberg lettuce bowl. It was great!

We'll have to check out dinner soon as the menu looked fantastic!
