We recently moved to the area, and were in the mood for a simple Chinese take-out and didn't feel like paying a fortune at Sino in Santana Row. Saw that this received a 9.0 and a 'best of the city' or something for 2006 so thought we'd give it a try. What a mistake. The wontons in the wonton soup were undercooked and doughy. The potstickers were bland (also noticed that the box that my food was placed in was labled 'keep frozen - chicken and vegetable potstickers' so they were obviously not homemade). The tomato beef chowmein tasted of sweet and sour sauce and the beef was not great quality. The mushu pork was horribly mushy and watery, had no tree ear mushrooms, and the pork was fatty. The combination chowfun was cold, the noodles were hard and 'old', the chicken and pork were fatty. I know that this place does westernised chinese food, and I'm fine with that, but atleast they could do it well. I feel bad for the poor review as the owners are apparently very nice, but the food was horrible. Will next time spend more at Sino or travel further for another simple place.
Pros: nearby
Cons: the food was horrible
