Golden Ginger Wilmington

I used to eat lunch at Golden Ginger in Wilmington fairly frequently until Top Garden opened up in Tewksbury but haven't been back in close to 2 years so it was nice when the hostess said "Peter, nice to see you back!". Looks the same, same manager, lunch menu somewhat reduced but still fairly cheap. This is a place that does really good mediocre American-Chinese food. What they do, they do well and they are consistent. I haven't tried their sushi, they have a nice sushi bar, but I haven't heard anything bad about it either.

Yes, you get the fried whatever with the cloying sweet duck sauce. The Hot and Sour Soup was surprisingly spicy but apart from that there was nothing remarkable to be said.

Spicy Curried Chicken with Chicken Wing Apps. Chicken wings were done well, really crispy skin and juicy. They have finally stopped over frying the drumette. The curried chicken is the normal yellow Chinese curry and this was actually a bit spicy. Get's a nice crunch from the water chestnut pieces sprinkled in and the peas add a bit of color. This for some reason is comfort food for me. Service was as usual very good, but they weren't really that busy, the sushi bar had a few chairs going.
