The Nee House is a casual Chinese Restaurant that serves American/Chinese Favorites, some Cantonese Cuisine and Fresh Fish from Tanks. On my visit the sign read “Fresh Sea Bass” so I was interested in that. I asked the server about it and she tells me they haven’t had fresh sea bass in days but are offering tilapia today. I’m not the biggest fan of tilapia so I ordered the rock cod with vegetables off the menu.

The fish was clean tasting and was prepared to perfection and just melted in my mouth. It came in a very light but velvety sauce with essence of chicken and the sauce was laced with ginger and garlic. The fish was very good.

I went to get some rice.

I almost didn’t because the rice paddle appears dirty. On closer inspection we decide the paddle isn’t dirty and is just stained. A soaking in bleach would remedy the paddle and make me feel better about having rice here.

The bok choy was almost good.

Not cleaned correctly. I would get this dish again but not with bok choy.

My husband had the Szechwan Pork.

It was way better than most any other Americanized Szechwan dish we tried but not the same as from an Authenic Style Szechwan Restaurant we have been too. Americanized Szechwan is saucy with some sweet and not as fiery. Authentic Style is loaded with chili peppers and Szechwan numbing peppercorns that numb your mouth so you can enjoy the heat more. The dish should be just barely sauced and that sauce should be thin and should lack sweetness. This dish was close.

Not perfect here but they do serve above average Chinese Food.

Your not going to drive across town to dine here…but if your in the area you might want to give this place a try
