Cheng Du 23 - Preakness

Stopped in because it was rated the highest 4.3 of food options in the area, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered shrimp fry rice with scallions, onions and eggs $13 WORTH IT). The rice is 100/10. The best Chinese rice I ever had. General tso’s chicken $17 NOT WORTH IT, 5/10) lacked sauce and just wasn’t crispy. Plain pork lo mein $13 NOT WORTH IT, 3/10) VERY DRY AND HARD. And broccoli in garlic sauce $15 NOT WORTH IT, LACKED FLAVOR, my broccoli was swimming in sauce/oil, NO FLAVOR, 5/10). Overall they were nice, service was nice, but the dishes aren’t worth the price!

It is very good the ant claiming on tree noodle is very watery and salty fried fish is very good

Dazzling. Electric. Authentic. Szechuan cuisine at its best. Spicy but warms your soul if you grew up eating this kind of Chinese.

So gross to find out bug on the noodles, never ever again ?

After having had lunches and dinners here several times, my last visit was disappointing. Placed our order and within LESS than 2 minutes our food was served. It was like it was it previously prepared, and not as good as I have had in my other visits. Shrimp with cashews, barely, and the sauce was gooie, sauteed green beans , limp and greasy. Maybe one more try to determine if it just was a bad night
