Mongolian beef – Eric’s Restaurant

Mongolian beef Eric's Restaurant

Eric’s Restaurant, San Francisco

I love Eric’s Mongolian beef! It has a rich, deep salty umami flavor that I’m partial to. The dish is primarily beef with just a few sliced onions and dried chilies. And I can’t complain about that! Just serve on top of rice and be happy.  🙂

Governor’s chicken kew – Eric’s Restaurant

Governor's chicken kew Eric's Restaurant

Sauteed boneless chicken with broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, baby corn, and peas in a spicy garlic sauce. $8.75
Eric’s Restaurant, San Francisco

This was the first time I’ve tried this dish and it tasted pretty good! The chicken was tender and there was a lot vegetables to balance out the rich garlic sauce. I’ve never actually eaten at the restaurant, but I’ve had plenty of to-go orders since it’s SO close to my house. They don’t deliver, but the walk over helps to get me hungry, hehe!

Orange chicken – Cathay Express Restaurant

Don’t judge me, but I always get sucked into this place when I’m waiting for the J Muni in front of Safeway on my way home. I’ll be waiting for the train and super hungry so I’ll run into Cathay Express and buy something to-go before the next train arrives. The food is nothing special, just your typical quick greasy Chinese food. I must say that their combos are a great value, though. You get SO much food for really cheap. Although the quality is not very good, it still tastes good and it’s great for when I’m feeling extra poor, hehe!
