I always love Chinese food. As I get older, I'm starting to realize it doesn't always love me back. But, it will never stop me from trying a new-to-me spot.



China Kitchen in Parkersburg was along my route on a recent adventure so I called in an order and picked it up. They are still pretty locked up regarding COVID restrictions. There is a small little door they've built into their main door where they put the food through. No entry at all. But I called in my order, picked up my food through the tiny door and was on my way.



I ordered "Grandfather chicken," an eggroll and crab rangoons. Grandfather chicken is deep-fried white meat chicken in General Tso's sauce. It's kind of the perfect combination of flavors. I don't love the stringy, less-than-stellar chicken, so this puts together all the best pieces. This particular sauce didn't have as much "oomph" as I'd like, but it was sweet and sticky, which are really the main components anyway. 



The eggroll and crab rangoons were both good by any standard. It may not be my new favorite Chinese spot, but it's a solid option in the area.
