Jiang's -- Dallas, Snider Plaza

We had read a lot of positive reviews on this place, so we decided to try it out for dinner on a week night. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, which is why I hate to mark this place as average at all. Our glasses were continuously filled, the waitress was friendly, and the service was prompt. The food was simply okay -- nothing spectacular. They brought us a basket of won ton chips with our soup. We both had won ton soup -- the broth was good, but the won tons were lacking flavor. For entrees, we chose the beef with broccoli and the mandarin chicken. The nice thing about Jiang's is they don't smother the food in sauce. The broccoli on both dishes also appeared to be steamed, instead of frieds. I thought the flavor of the Mandarin Chicken was good, but it definitely didn't need to be labeled as a spicy dish. The beef with broccoli was so-so. The owners have tried to make it nice, but it doesn't have much in the way of character or ambiance. They seem to do a steady takeout business though. Parking was no problem -- plenty of 2 hour spots on a week night. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, it just didn't live up to the hype.
