Bargain Chinese Lunch In Olney MD

I would say most of us have found the bargain lunch combinations at Chinese Restaurants
all over the area,heck nationwide...you get an egg roll and maybe a soup and some stir fry
for a reasonable price....a lot of food at a good price....a bargain...I will be blogging about these
a lot......quality varies wildly...price varies as well.....I found a gem in Olney Maryland which
is off the beaten track a bit BUT if you happen to be in Rockville this is 3 miles away and worth
the trip.......Shanghai Restaurant-3409 Morningwood Drive In Olney....Olney is a small town
so a better way to get you there is to say not the shopping center on the right but the one on the left off Georgia Avenue...you cannot miss it....ANYWAY......their lunch special is an unheard of
$4.95 and this includes an Eggroll,your choice of white or Fried Rice,choice of soup,AND your meal choice which numbered 12 choices as of today......shrimp with mixed veggies,General Tso's chicken,chicken with black bean sauce ( my favorite)....one of my friends ordered a large hot and
sour soup (one quart!)for $2.25 and a white rice $1 it was a lot to eat and I would say a healthy choice too......so I would not go out of my way,but if you are within 5 miles or so,GO FOR IT!
The food was not the best I have ever eaten....BUT ...it was enjoyable and a pleasant surprise...
I felt it was a great value....BTW this exact same meal runs $7.50 after 3pm. and the same rule holds true at most Chinese Restaurants....eat or take out at lunch and avoid the dinner meal price.....and I think you cannot go wrong.....
