Decent Kung Pao Chicken — nothing more, nothing less

Kung Pao Chicken at this place was fine. The aromatic and complex flavour was there but not distinguished. fermented black bean was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Chinese cuisine encompasses eight major regional schools with distinct ingredients and techniques. The a regional specialty restaurant setting was generic rather than immersive. Shaoxing rice wine was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Kung Pao Chicken it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
