For me to keep going to a Chinese restaurant for Chinese food is a huge deal! If the food isn't impressively good the first time around I will never order from that restaurant again. So I figured for lunch, why not review my favorite Chinese food place in Flushing.
From the Lunch Special I ordered my typical Beef and Broccoli, with Pork Fried Rice along with the Fried Crab Meat and Cheese Won Ton with Sweet and Sour Sauce.
The Crab Meat Won Ton, was good but nothing really special. The texture was crunchy and not overcooked, while the inside was stuffed with Crab Meat and I'm guessing Cream Cheese? But it still lacked flavor even when I dipped it into the Sweet and Sour Sauce. It definitely needed something else. Maybe a different kind of cheese. But good none the less.
My Beef and Broccoli with Pork Fried Rice, hit me with plenty of flavor. The Beef was spicy and the right texture to chew on. Just the way I like it. Of course it comes non spicy, but i suggest you tell them to add a bit of kick to it for some crazy taste bud mania! The broccoli had the same affect but was a bit to hard and over sauced. So I am definitely giving a no go for the broccoli unless you like it so hard that it could probably break your tooth. Then by all means go for it.
The Pork Fried Rice, was normal as usual although it is a bit bland unless, you mix the spicy sauce that comes with the meat with the rice.

Overall, the meal was pretty satisfying, good before you take a nap in the middle of the day. My total was 9.80, 3.60 for the Won Ton and 4.45 for the Beef and Broccoli plus tax. I give the entire meal 3.5 stars.
