Not Just a Marketing Ploy
Best Taste is really the best chinese food I've had in the South Bay, maybe the best ever. Also, they are nice. And they deliver.
Don't pass up the crispy pan fried noodles. They are super fabulous! I think they are more generally known as shanghai style noodles, I'm not sure. They use thick noodles, kind of like udon, but with more flavor and a more yellow tinge, (like fresh ramen). They're boiled, then dried a little, pan fried so half of them are light and crispy, then tossed with a few vegetables, chicken, pork and shrimp (or any variation, just ask.) Not too oily, but just enough to make it very rich and wonderful.
They're very difficult to make at home (you need a really hot pan - and could someone please let me in on the secret of chinese sauces!*), so they're a real treat for me.

*I know about adding corn starch, but they still come out watery and bland.

after reviewing your complaint some more and checking with the local expert, the consensus is that you are using too much water :)
Well, everything, of course!
What is your favorite? I want to learn that, and pan fried noodles.
My noodles are pretty good, but not very Chinese.

I can attest to the quality of noodles that Comida makes..they are wonderfully tasty. I believe I've had the pan fried noodles that are referenced in this post...those are yummy too.
but i prefer Comida's homemade goodness to restaurant food any day

when you make your sauces, make sure you boil down the base before you add any corn starch. CS will only thicken it. If you want more flavor out of it, let it simmer for a while until you get the flavor you want. Then, add the CS.
hi again :)
