Liu's Chinese - S San Diego

I ordered fried calamari and San Diegos famous salted pepper chicken. I had their salted pepper chicken once before a few months back, and it was good. Today, not at all.And the calami was even worse.The calamari tasted like freezer burnt fish sticks. Except it costs almost $16.00.I love to support small businesses. And I love supporting local businesses even more, but almost $34.00 later, my food was cold, stale, and I had to put it in the toaster oven in order to try and make it crispy.And the portions were very, very small. Not that it mattered though.Sooo disappointed. I have video of the entire experience if you're interested.

No rice was included with the entree. No soy sauce provided in our to go order. Wor won ton soup is excellent. No fortune cookies.

Everything is great. But my favorite is Cantonese fried rice, and chow mien.

The food and service was incredible. We went as a team at work to celebrate.

This is a small business with authentic Chinese Restaurant flavors. If you want fancy and premade panda type, this is not the place. People complaining of no rice, should read the menu. There are plates with different items including rice. If you order just a chicken order, it will be just chicken. Very simple. Family meals include many of the traditional dishes including rice. Meals also include rice and/or noodles. Single items, are single items. Love the fried rice, just like at old traditional large Chinese restaurants. Only complaint- fried shrimp are more fry than shrimp and kind of dry. All else is very tasty and fresh. Counter lady is not Ms Congeniality. She cooks Chinese Food, Good Chinese Food. People that don't like it, it might be because they are used to the bland chain restaurant packaged stuff.
