New Yang

We just can't find good Chinese takeout in Houston. Maybe I was spoiled, since my home town has great Chinese. And Houston has great Japanese and great eat-in Chinese (Yao's and Auntie Chang's come to mind). But Chinese takeout just isn't happening for us ...

However, on a Sunday night after a long weekend with friends, sometimes a girl just doesn't want to cook. So my husband and I took our chances on New Yang. I say "took our chances" literally, because New Yang is apparently a dangerous place after hours. The staff serves the food from behind bars.

Yes, you read that right. We get our Chinese food from a place with bars around the counter.

So, how was the food? Not bad. The beef pot-stickers had an odd sweetness to them; I don't think it was accidental though. Maybe some people like them that way. The vegetable lo mein was actually pretty good and held up well the next day. All in all, it wasn't terrible take-out. And it looked awesome on my left-over Super Bowl plates.
