Uncle Chung's Szechuan
20140921:
Today I came and ordered the shrimp chow mein and Szechuan lamb.
The chow mein is simple, and not so oily, which is good.
The lamb is a bit chewy, but the vegetables are good. The dish was supposedly spicy, but I didn't even find it to be mild.
In any case, I thought the food was delicious and the pricing was reasonable (12.50 for the lamb and 6.95 for the chow mein, I ate half of the dishes at the restaurant and had the other half packed to go. 5:25PM PT

It comes to a bit of a surprise that while I've been to Taqueria Morena a countless number of times, I've only been to Uncle Chung's Szechuan once before today.
In any case, today I got seated near the window where there was a nice view of the Pinole Vista Shopping Center and the general surrounding area.
Feeling in the mood for a drink, I got a Great Wall. However, among all the ingredients, I mainly just taste the Bailey's.
Menu Description:
Great Wall Absolut Vodka, milk, Bailey's Irish Cream, cola, Romana Sambuca
For the main entree, my friend and I got the deluxe vegetables and shrimp chow mein.
The deluxe vegetables come with bamboo shoots, tofu (which I liked), and a delicious sauce.
The first ingredient I noticed in the chow mein was the celery - it adds both a nice crunch and a particular flavor. After the celery, I noticed the green onion, then the beansprouts, and then the onion. Of course, possibly the most important note, is that the noodles were not excessively oily.*
*I realized upon updating this post that I also had the shrimp chow mein the last time I came here. I noted the light use of oil on both occasions.
