Foo Chow Chinese Restaurants

I have gone to this chinese restaurant more times than I can count. I normally order the Sesame chicken with white rice and it’s very good. A little more spicy than it should be, but still good. The last time I went though, I figured I would try my luck at their Bourbon chicken since I’ve liked it other places I went and it was the most disgusting food I’ve had in a long time. The meat didn’t even taste/​feel like chicken. It was so hard and chewy. The sauce was good if you can get past the meat. I just ended up mixing my rice with the bourbon sauce and ate that after setting all the chicken aside. I was very disappointed because I rather liked this place. I guess I’m just sticking to the Sesame chicken from now on. :/

I stopped in here for late night dinner takeout recently. I got the C14 Roast Pork Lo Mein ($ 7.45 plus tax) with pork fried rice and egg roll. The food was hot and ready to go (packed in a rectangle microwave container) in about 10 minutes. The lo mein dish had plenty of tender roast pork strips, cabbage, carrots, onions, & scallions with soft noodles, not too oily. The fried rice cooked just right with a mix of lean pieces of roast pork, onions, and sprouts with soft rice. The egg roll was filled with a mix of shredded cabbage, tender shrimp, and seasonings, wrapped in a firm fried wrapper.
The food I had was quite good, in Herkimer too! I would order here again and probably try out the Japanese side of the menu.
