Quest for Asian Takeout: Canton Wok
This is the first of my samplings of the local Asian take-out restaurants. I've tasted some of the best, Hunan Homes in San Francisco; East Asia, a small place in Powderhouse Square in Somerville, MA. Since I wasn't really able to find any online reviews, I thought I'd keep track of my quest for great Asian take-out here.
Canton Wok
920 Lisbon Street
Lewiston, ME 04240
Dish Sampled: Cashew Chicken combination plate (cashew chicken, fried rice, spareribs), $5.50
Results:
The cashew chicken, while not the most flavorful I've ever had, was quite good. Lots of chicken, huge cashews, lots of carrots, mushrooms and chestnuts.
Pork fried rice: Along the lines of typical American Asian take-out: too brown caused by too much soy sauce, not enough chucks of meat or veggies. Still, better than many I've had at other places.
BBQ spareribs: Much better than usual. Not cooked to the point of being dried out, large pieces, good flavor.
Portion: Huge, more than I could eat for lunch.
Overall: 3 cookies (Recommended)
