SUNDAY Chinese Dinner Specials at ROBERTO'S

At least for November, Roberto is having a Sunday Chinese Dinner menu Special for $ 85. pesos. It includes Egg Flower Soup, Spring Roll and choice of Entree. There were about 12 entrees to choose from. Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken, General Tsaos Chicken, Cashew Chicken, Szechuan Beef, Mongolian Beef, Sweet and Sour Pork or Chicken, Mu Shu Pork, Honey Shrimp, Chop Suey with Chicken or Pork, Lo Mein and others.

Seven of us from our Dinner Group went tonight, Sunday Nov. 7. They didn't serve any bread and spreads or carrot fritters to us. We all had the Egg Flower Soup and Spring Roll with a sweet sauce. I didn't care for the soup, although others liked it. The Spring Roll was excellent. Very crispy on the outside. Two persons ordered General Tsaos Chicken, Two ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken, One ordered Cashew Chicken, one ordered Szechuan Beef and one ordered Chop Suey. All entrees came with Fried Rice. We all agreed the food was good. They could have given everyone a bit more rice.

The restaurant was very busy and service was very good.

I don't think I've ever been served bread in a Chinese restaurant so that's no surprise. Thanks for the review, I wondered how it was.

To our surprise, when my wife and I moved to Michigan in the early 90's, every Chinese restaurant we went to had dinner rolls served with the meals. Every one. Never in our travels have we experienced bread with Chinese food. Only Michigan.

It just seems weird to me. I guess they Michigan Chinese restaurants figured their American customers expected it.

Bread rolls or whatever..............the meal was fine, but
WHERE WERE THE FORTUNE COOKIES????
lol

We received Fortune Cookies last night and they tasted good.

7 of us went there tonight and had a good time. The dishes were on the small side. They seemed surprised that we wanted to share the 7 dishes but finally brought us 7 plates. As we passed the food around, the dishes were fairly indistinguishable so we weren't sure if we'd had them before.

Are they still doing this chinese meal?
