D & Y Chinese Food is located in a older looking strip mall in Glendale AZ. This isn’t a fancy restaurant and would look nicer if they organize things better.
(incase you are wondering…..This restaurant was full of people when I left….We were the only non-Asians there)
This isn’t your average take out Chinese Restaurant but yes…..they offer that too!
According to this restaurant’s Facebook Page they serve Canton and Mandarin Food.
I came for the Chinese Menu and the Fresh Live Fish.
Here is the Chinese Menu (not the take out menu).
Did you catch Chef Special C3? Jellyfish Head w/Sweet Peas…….Bet your Grandma never cooked that for you!
The fresh fish listed on the board in by the dining room were –
Lobster
Crab $15.99 Lb
Tilapia $8.99 Lb
Striped Bass $10.99 Lb
Red Grouper $15.99 Lb
When I asked about the live fish I was told they only had one Tilapia left so I ordered it and an iced tea. (It seems that they get sold out by Sunday)
My iced tea is very watery. It’s mostly water.
We wait about 45 minutes to receive our meals.
The placement of the spoon makes it looks like we are checking for breathing
Wow…..I never had a tilapia that was this fresh before. It’s prepared like a really good fish from a fine restaurant. It’s really perfect…..and really fresh…..It’s in a delicate soy-ginger kind of broth that’s slightly oily. The Fish is topped with a shredded vegetable that might be celery. When a fish is this perfect it melts in your mouth and this one does.
My husband ordered Beef with Black pepper.
Notice that this dish is dry sautéed. I tried one piece of beef and one piece of green pepper. The beef is a little chewy, not partially tender and not as flavorful as other beef with black pepper I tried from other places….
Well the Fish was really great! Today fish was the sweet spot here.
I will come back to try fish again and maybe a few other things on the Chinese Menu.
If you happen to be in the area you might want to step in to D & Y Chinese to try some fresh live (until you order it) Fish! (but make it there before Sunday)
www.DYChineseFood.com but you will only see the Take Out Chinese Food there.
REMEMBER EVERY FORKING THING is subject to change and your experience may or may NOT differ.
Went back and tried the Rockfish and Shiitake Mushrooms with Asian Greens. (pictures below)
Fish was like rubber and very tough and they charged me $89.10 for it. The Shiitake and Asian Greens were not for our taste….Sauce was very slimy…
