I ordered carryout Chinese dinners from China Kitchen in Elkridge, Maryland this evening, and my family and I were disappointed.
I usually like the beef fried rice from China Kitchen, and the previous restaurant on the same pad, The Pagoda Box, and I’ve ordered it on a half dozen occassions; however, this evening, the each of the entrés and the egg rolls tasted as if they were cooked in chicken fat. There was a pervasive sweet odor and taste to each meal.
I ordered chrispy beef, sesame chicken, and my standby favorite, beef fried rice, along with four egg rolls. I sampled all , and I was so hungry that I cleaned my plate, but I wasn’t pleased. Af first, I thought that I was just being picky, but my wife and our daughters each pushed themselves away from the table, leaving their meals mostly untouched.
I think the restaurant may be under new management, and that could be the reason for the change in menu preparation, and it’s too bad. I won’t be back.
If you’d like to sample some really bad Chinese cooking, try…
