After a long work week decided to order some Chinese food and have it delivered by Bite Squad. Went to the Bite Squad app and ordered from Little Village Noodle House in minutes. Set the time I wanted the food to arrive and it was at my house on time and hot. Was able to track the delivery on my phone so the Bite Squad experience was excellent. Food was good too. We Started with the Mu-Shu Pork Rolls ($8) served with tortillas and Plum Sauce. Served with three flour tortillas so you can make burritos. My Wife really liked these. The Hot and Sour Soup ($10.75) came with a nice portion for 3 or 4 people. The soup was hot and was good. Just thought something was missing to make this a really great soup. The Sweet and Sour Pork ($12.20) was really good. I liked the large pieces of Onion and Pineapple along with the Pork. The Black Pepper Beef ($11.75) was delicious and served with lots of onions. Really liked the peppery flavor. The Szechwan Spicy Chicken looked a bit dry but had nice flavor and a bit of heat. Would be great though if this dish had a bit of sauce. All in all our Chinese take-out was great. Watched a movie on Pay per View and enjoyed a quiet evening at home with the Wife. Definitely will do this dinner at home again with Bite Squad delivery.

LOBSTER KING - HONOLULU, HAWAII

LOBSTER KING

HONOLULU, HAWAII

Finally had a chance to try the Lobster King on the corner of Keeamoku and King Streets. The place always looks busy since they opened a few months back. I have read a lot reviews about Lobster King and most were good. I was surprised that the menu included everything Chinese and Shabu Shabu. The Chinese menu is very extensive and offers all the standard fare including Noodles, Sizzling Platters, Pork, Vegetables, Seafood, Beef and Chicken dishes. You can get a lobster for $11.99 if you order any other entree off the menu. Not a bad deal for a fresh 1 pound plus lobster. We started with the Young Chow Fried Rice ($5.99). This was a large plate of fried rice filled with vegetables, meats and baby shrimp. The rice was light and fluffy. The waiter asked if we wanted to try some vegetables. We said sure and added some Choi Sum to our order. The Choi Sum was cooked in oil and Oyster Sauce and was delicious. Only problem was the price. When I got the bill we saw that the plate of vegetables was $9.95. I could not believe this price. Way too high when you can get a lobster for $12. Now to the Lobster. Our two lobsters were served on a single dish. The kitchen cuts the lobster into bite size pieces which makes it pretty easy to eat. The lobster is served with the House Special Sauce that they said included garlic and green onion. It was pretty bland and includes a ton of corn starch. The sauce needs more garlic and a kick. If this place could add a hot and spicy version, I think they would have a huge hit. I liked the lobster despite the dull flavor of the sauce. We also tried the Mu-Shu Pork ($10.75). The waiter took the time to place the Mu-shu in the tortilla like things and made up some nice burritos. We were so full with the lobster that we barely put a dent in the Mu-Shu Pork. I liked the Lobster King and will return again.
