We started out with the Lobster Wontons as well and they were excellent. Smooth, creamy, but didn’t see or taste the lobster. Then we went to go on with our order.

Ben had the Sweet and Sour Chicken and didn’t like it so he gave me a piece. Biting into the chicken it was an explosion of flavor. I could taste the Sweet and Sour based sauce, but there was a distinct citrus taste that threw everything off. They just went too far with all the flavors.

Steve had the Noodles with all of the combination of meats. My initial thoughts were, it was well presented and looked appetizing. The first bite of the beef was excellent! Moving on to the noodles we ran into some taste issues. “It was just ok” he said sorting through his bowl. While the journey began sorting through the bowl we found tough pieces of meat. The pork actually tasted like you just got your food from China King (tough, dry and it tasted old), and the excellent flavor of beef, declined dramatically.

Myself, I had the General Chicken. Again, good presentation with rice mound on the bottom covered with asparagus and fried chicken portions. Most of the chicken was tender and fried to perfection, but I did run into tough pieces. The asparagus was cooked to the ideal crunchiness. The sauce was a bit peculiar! It definitely had the little spice ( as General Chicken should), but it had different taste that I couldn’t put my finger on. Later, I started to taste the bourbon flavor that he infused in the sauce.

In conclusion, the food was just alright! Sounds like they tried to do the gourmet Cashew Chicken and got a little crazy with the sauces. By the way I love Ocean Zen and I am not saying anything bad about the Tan brothers! But, it was just alright for me….
