China Delights
20140913:
Today I came to China Delights for the first time and ordered some takeout: honey walnut shrimp and house lo mein. There were no peanuts, and while I said I'm fine with peanut oil, apparently they use vegetable oil.
Of the food, I found the sauce deliciously sweet, but the lo mein was oily. 7:12PM PT

Today I got an order of chicken chow mein and an order of general chicken.
The general chicken sauce was absolutely delicious. However, the chow mein, without adding the general chicken sauce, was a bit dry. Fortunately, eating the general chicken and chow mein together was perfect. 3:14PM PT

Today I came here for dinner and split an order of the wonton soup, mixed vegetables, and honey walnut shrimp.
The combination won ton itself tasted good, but the broth was salty and the meat was a bit dry.
In addition to the wonton soup, getting the mixed vegetables was a great choice, because the prawns were just okay. They were deliciously sweet, but the exterior wasn't as crunchy as I had hoped it would be.

Today (Sunday) I came around five o'clock and noticed that only two other tables were occupied. I didn't realize that most people ate dinner later in the evening.
In any case, I got an order of Chinese broccoli and half an order of steamed chicken with ham and greens.
Though I expected both dishes to arrive one after the other, I got the broccoli first and had to eat it by itself while I waited for the chicken - I opted not to get any rice. Overall, the broccoli tasted as it should.
When the chicken arrived, I was amused to find that the "greens" part of "steamed chicken with ham and greens" was just a couple stems of Chinese broccoli; the quantity given paled in comparison with the standalone order.
Regardless, the chicken tasted good, the occasional mushroom between the pieces of chicken was a treat, and the ham between the pieces was just okay.
Overall the chicken sauce was reasonably sweet and I liked the meal.
