Well, I finally went for some Chinese take-out. It seems that when I find a place that suits my taste, they either get sold, change cooks or go downhill in some other way. I tried Lee's KItchen (new owner) in Pinellas Plaza and I tried Sunrise Asian Restaurant (new restaurant) in Trailwinds Village. I'll pass on Lee's.
I have high hopes for Sunrise Asian Restaurant. So far, I like their Pork Egg Foo Yung and their Pork Lo Mein. Their Egg Rolls are not to my liking. I think all the take-out places around here buy the same brand of Egg Rolls. Their Mongolian Beef stood out. Fresh ingredients and very tender beef. Better than Koyame. It wasn't spicy enough for me, even though I asked for extra, extra spicy. Good that they included some chili oil cups, without my asking.
I'm definitely going to try more of their dishes. I usually judge a Chinese take-out place by their Fried Rice. That and Hot & Sour Soup are next.
