Again, in my humble opinion…
Noodles on Main street sucks. When we first moved here and saw there was a noodle shop, we were so excited — food we love and that the kids might possibly eat as well. The noodles soups are bland. I could make btter at home, and that ’s saying something. We do love their gyoza (at $7 for six!), but they are frozen out of a bag (I saw them take them out and heat them), so if I could just find out what brand of frozen gyozas they use, we’d be set. Save you pennies for…
The Great Wall in Florence. Ever since I moved here, we had heard from everyone that this was the pace to get your Chinese food fix. We finally got take out the other night, and it was probably the best Chinese food I have ever had. In Florence! I got the veggie Moo Shu (with plum sauce- yum!) and Hubby got the Kung Pao Chicken– and it wasn’t even colored red! I got take out, and didn’t even notice if they have the spin tables, but if they do, then that’s another reason to go!
The Great Wall can only be beaten by my final Asian Dig: The Korean Restaurant in Hadley. What is lacks in ambiance, it more than makes up for in taste. I ordered the Bimbimbop, as did three others I was with, and it was superb. Hubby ordered some beef soup with boiled rice cakes, and it was just as good. There is no alcohol served there, but you can bring your own which can save you a bunch of money. An all around great experience.
I’m so glad you liked Go Hyang - I had forgotten to ask about it.
The Chinese (not the Japanese. What’s up with that weird combo anyway?) at Butterfly in Hadley is actually pretty good, especially if you order from the gourmet menu. Unfortunately, I find Great Wall to be unreliably erratic. Also, at least once they put chicken in our vegetable lo mein.
Yes, I know, I owe you a blog post.
Great Wall does have the spinning table tops. It really is one of the best Chinese places, I agree!
Locals in the Berkshires go to Pho Saigon on Railroad St in Lee, MA (and they have a coupon on http://www.berkshirecoupon.com) - great Vietnamese food!
