OK, BIG shout out to Dave for recommending the new place in West Ornge near Gimmee Jimmy's - it's called Phoenix House. We had:
Fried Veggie Dumplings: Oh good lord they were AWESOME!!! Big and plump, and not too gummy, with tons of REAL veggies inside - not all cabbage. And the dipping sauce was tasty and full fo ginger. Couldn't stop eating them.
Veggie Chow Fun - not greasy, but a little bland, which will easily be remedied by asking for extra sauce next time. Chock full of fresh veggies.
Sesame Chicken combo, with Pork Fried Rice & Egg Roll: The chicken was tasty, not greasy, not drowning in sweet sauce, but the pieces were so small that some became a bit gummy when fried. The rice was good, with nice fresh bits of pork in there. The eggroll was excellent - a bit greasy but so tasty I could ignore it.
All in all, this place is a hit, and with some special requests to adjust certain dishes, it will certainly be a regular for us. Especially those dumplings - I've GOT to go back for more. A bit of a drive but well worth it.
Thanks Dave! Any idea if they deliver to us? |

Glad to help. I'll have to give the dumplings a try sometime. No idea about delivery. |

Sounds like it is worth a try. I would bet it is easier to find parking there so not worried if it is slightly further (than B & H , where we usually go). |

I haven't been there in a couple of years, but it used to be called Peking House. Does anyone know if it is still the same owners?

Hmm - did my eyes deceive me? Could it really have been Peking House? Now I'm doubting myself.
But go anyway, 'cause it's good! |

It's called Peking House. I wouldn't reccomend the place as a sit down restaurant. The ambiance is a bit lacking -- overly bright with take out orders flying by all the time and just not pretty. But it would do in a pinch I guess.
I agree the food is the best Chinese in the area. Although, Ginger Taste is as good or better but it is Pan Asian. |

Great Wall is the best chinese food in the area. |

I prefer Hunan Garden right on Village Plaza in South Orange.

Glock 17: You have to be kidding. I took take out from there and the chicken was so rubbery I could practically bounce it off the floor. I am not here to undermine any of our town's businesses but Great Wall is your typical inedible low end Chinese Take Out.
What this town needs is a decent upscale eat in Chinese restaurant. I am surprised we don't have one ... and please no one bring up Family Buffet. |

Peking House definitely delivers to Maplewood. We've been ordering from them for a few months - it's pretty good (still not JJ's). |
