A Solid Neighborhood Go-To: I visited North Sea Chinese today and was really impressed by the value and the service. It’s a small "in and out" type of place with no seating and limited parking, but for the price and quality, it is definitely worth the stop. The lady running the front and making the food is incredibly kind and welcoming! I ordered the Szechuan Beef (5/5): This was the highlight of the meal. It was spicier than I expected, but the flavor was excellent. Highly recommend if you like some heat. I also love that they offer BBQ Pork Fried Rice as a standard option without an upcharge, most places charge extra for that! The chicken fried rice was also very tasty. I liked my Almond Chicken. The chicken itself was very "clean" and perfectly crispy, but the gravy was a bit of a letdown. It was very thick with cornstarch and lacked flavor. The Rangoon was very crispy and loaded with cream cheese, though I would have loved to taste a bit more crab in the filling. Overall, the food is affordable, the portions are good, and the service is excellent. While some dishes were a bit bland, the Szechuan beef and the rice options make it a place I’ll definitely order from again.

Ordered General Tso's chicken - totally flavorless with too much cayenne pepper thrown in (literally the only spice in the gravy-like sauce) - the fried food were of course good, but I would never order that dish again.

I’ve ordered here many times and I swear each time has been better. (The first time was excellent). Veggies have a good crisp and all the proteins are cooked well and still tender. Egg drop soup is great and not gelatinous like some places. Really happy this restaurant is close by.
