Prior to heading out we checked the reviews online, and while the food got rave reviews we were warned that we shouldn't judge the restaruant based on the atomsphere. We were also warned that the owner might come to the table and decide to order for us, and just start sending dishes out.
And that is exactly what happened. He took one look at us and decided that since it was our first visit that he would send out his best dishes, and he so kindly checked to see if any of us had dietary restrictions. And then the dishes started coming...
Welcome to the House of Nanking!
Tsingtoa, an asian beer...
BEST WONTON SOUP EVER....
Potsticker with Peanut Sauce...
Crunchy Noodle Salad with Shrimp...
Chinese Beef w/ veggies wrap...
White fish and veggies in a brown butter sauce...
Nanking Sesame Chicken w/ sweet potatoes...
All these dishes were so full of flavor! My favorite was the wonton soup because the broth actually was flavored unlike any other wonton soup I had ever had. Also I have never had a sweet potato at a chinese restaurant before, but these were also amazing with the sesame chicken. All around two thumb, I'll definitely be going with my husband when we visit San Francisco together!
Wow that sounds so good. Nothing like real chinese food! Yum. (not that yucky greasy flavorless take out stuff!)
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous! Can you bring me back some. I promise to be your best friend :)
ReplyDeleteOMG - AMAZING! I love when you go to restaurants like that. At first it can be a little bit disorienting, but once the food starts coming, you stop thinking and start eating :) I'm so glad you had such a great experience!
