Good food. Went to Mr. Chao's a couple weeks ago. The inside of the restaurant is pretty dark in the evenings - they turn the lighting down pretty low. For me, it was too dark, so I'll probably pick up some carry-out next time; nothing like putting your diners to sleep. There's a huge difference between mood lighting and sleep-inducement, and theirs was the latter.

Besides the typical chinese reds an buddhas as decorations, the service was good and prompt. Our waiter returned several times to make sure everything was to our liking and refilling drinks when getting low instead of waiting for the otherwise inevitable empty glass.

The food was good. I had the General Tso's chicken and my wife had the shrimp and string beans. Both dishes had good flavor. The chicken in the GT was not the typical "bits" that most chinese restaurants use - these looked like actual chicken breasts that were sliced and breaded. The chicken seemed like top quality. My wife said the shrimp was nice and juicy and not over-cooked (which is usually how it comes out at other places).

All in all, I definitely recommend Mr. Chao's and I plan to go back for quality chinese food.
