Ok,
so
let's
get
this
settled
upfront.
This
is
not
authentic
chinese
food
HOWEVER
(!)
it
is
the
best
American
style
chinese
food
that
I
have
found
in
the
area.
I
was
very
hesitant
to
order
from
here
given
the
lackluster
ratings
that
I
saw
online.
I
was
next
door
at
the
nail
salon
getting
my
hair
done
and
I
was
STARVING!
I
ordered
out
of
sheer
desperation
and
let
me
tell
you....
I
am
so
happy
that
I
did.
I
ordered
three
dishes..
sesame
tofu,
eggplant
in
garlic
sauce
and
some
Mapo
Tofu
for
the
hubby.
I
came
home
and
opened
the
sesame
tofu...it
smelled
divine.
Took
my
first
bite...it
tasted
divine!
I
took
my
12th,
13th,
14th
bite
and
could
not
stop
eating.
Seriously!
I
ate
a
bit
of
the
eggplant
which
was
very
plentiful
and
it
was
almost
as
good.
Which
is
not
to
say
that
it
was
bad
in
any
way,
shape
or
form.
It
was
excellent
but
compared
to
the
sesame
tofu,
man...that
stuff
is
good.
Again,
disclaimer,
this
is
pure
american
style
chinese.
I
thought
maybe
I
was
just
starving
and
so
hungry
that
anything
would
taste
good
but
when
my
daughter
got
home
and
tried
it
she
thought
it
was
magnificent
as
well.
Let
me
tell
you,
it
took
a
lot
of
restraint
to
save
some
for
her
but
the
portions
are
very
plentiful
so
that
made
it
a
wee
bit
easier!
I
also
had
some
left
for
lunch
the
next
day
and
it
was
just
as
good!
My
husband
liked
his
Mapo
Tofu.
He
is
a
bit
spoiled
because
the
Mapo
Tofu
at
Shu
in
West
Hartford
is
the
friggin
bomb
diggity!
We
have
tried
the
mapo
tofu
at
various
other
chinese
restaurants
across
the
state
over
the
past
several
years
and
none
of
them
can
reach
what
Shu
delivers
(I
digress
because
that
is
a
whole
other
review).
With
that
being
said,
he
said
it
was
the
best
Mapo
after
Shu.
It
was
also
nice
and
spicy,
which
we
have
found
that
a
lot
of
the
other
chinese
restaurants
shy
away
from.
His
only
complaint
is
that
there
could
have
been
a
little
bit
more
minced
pork
and
not
to
have
such
a
fine
mince.
But
overall,
he
really
enjoyed
it
which
is
high
praise
coming
from
him....he
sometimes
like
to
complain
about
food
a
little
too
much
!
The
food
was
ready
quickly,
it
was
piping
hot
even
after
bringing
it
home
and
the
staff
was
very
pleasant.
It
is
mostly
a
take
out
style
joint
but
there
is
a
sitting
area
with
a
few
tables
that
was
nicer
than
most
take
out
joints
in
the
area.
If
you
are
looking
for
good
American
Chinese
food...look
no
further.
Run
to
Great
Tso.
After
all,
great
is
right
in
their
name
and
they
lived
up
to
that
expectation
in
my
eyes.
