China Garden - Arlington, Va

Today, I decided to try authentic Chinese food for lunch, instead of the Korean style Chinese food which is commonly found in Rosslyn.  I'm not a really big fan of Koreans serving Chinese or Japanese food.  I really think they should stick to what they know best, Korean food.

I haven't been to China Garden in years.  I ordered the Szechuan Beef Lunch special which came with an eggroll and fried rice.  The egg roll was pretty good for a Chinese Restaurant and so was the fried rice.  The Szechuan Beef was typical chinese food.  A little oily.  There was a ridiculous amount of red and green hot peppers, but the dish wasn't very spicy.  I thought the sauce could have had a little more flavor.  The portion was the perfect size, just enough to make you full.  Overall this lunch was pretty good and I will go back for authentic Chinese food.
