New China

We were killing time in Buckroe Beach yesterday before our train left, and had hoped to find a place to have some chowder but no joy. Instead, my husband was getting car sick driving around looking for a place to land, and this happened to be close by. It’s a typical storefront in a newish building next door to a barbershop. The atmosphere is what you would expect from a place that appears to cater to mostly takeout business: 4 booths and a counter.
The menu is large, as it is in most Chinese restaurants, with some Filipino food thrown into the mix. I ordered the pancit, because that’s not something I can find in Colorado. My husband ordered egg drop soup and shrimp with vegetables.
The soup came in a plastic bowl (designed for takeout) and some crispy noodles for floating and dipping. I thought it was quite good… very rich and hot, with more eggs than usual. The pancit was acceptable, with crispy fresh pork and maybe a tad too much soy, but I ate a good ²⁄₃ of the HUGE portion. My husband enjoyed the shrimp in his shrimp and vegetables but didn’t touch much of the brown rice or veggies and I forgot to ask him why.
It’s really odd here that you have to ask for a key to the bathroom and there is a very unfriendly sign on the door saying «Customer only. Pay first». I may be too harsh, if there is a problem with people coming in off the street just to use the bathroom, but it’s rare that I see something so rude in a restaurant.
All in all, this would be a place I would return to get takeout, but probably wouldn’t dine in again.
