Sticky, sweet General Tso’s chicken got the job done, as did beef with broccoli that was refreshed twice in the short time I was there. The usual suspects like egg rolls, fried rice, wonton soup and rangoons all were about as good as any Chinese takeout, and the sushi gave me the same kind of fix I get from the basic rolls at the grocery store."
