Tri-City: New Yong Kang Seafood Restaurant
When I was a kid, Chinese restaurants were you could choose three dishes and get a soup for a set price were all the rage. The one we went to most often closed down, but New Yong Kang Sefood Restaurant still remains:
My parents and I stopped by one evening after I got off work since it's close to the BART station and my mom wasn't in the mood to cook dinner.
It's not as busy as I remember it being when I was younger, but there were still quite a few people dining inside and others ordering to go:
Almost the minute you sit down, you're brought tea and soup. The soup is always this mysterious meat broth with veggies and tiny pieces of meat:
For $19.50, you get to choose any three dishes. If you want rice, it's an additional $1.10 per person. The menu is quite extensive and while the food isn't exactly gourmet, it's decent.
For our three dishes, we went with the walnut prawns:
The prawns were lightly battered and fried, just how I like it. Some restaurants dunk the prawns in thick batter. You know what I'm talking about. The kind where you can't see the shrimp through the fried shell. I hate that. It gets soggy quickly and usually the batter to prawn ratio is just ridiculous.
We also ordered the salt and pepper flounder:
It was perfectly fried, bones and all. Not very oily, but also not very flavorful. Someone forgot the salt. Sigh.
To round off our three, we got the string beans:
My family loves this dish and we order it a lot when we go out because my mom hates frying the beans at home.
Because we always order way too much, of course we had to order two more dishes a la carte.
My dad can never turn away a steamed chicken with green onion and ginger sauce:
And as a noodle fanatic, my mom just had to try the Thai-style vermicelli:
Not very Thai, but what do you expect in a Chinese restaurant?
As I said, New Yong Kang isn't the fanciest of places, but it's cheap and there's not much to complain about when it comes to the food. If you're looking for a quick Chinese meal, screw Panda Express and go with New Yong Kang.
