Hearty's Sichuan Cuisine Chinese

First time trying this place, although I don't think it's called Hearty's anymore. Got delivery and my doorbell rang before promised. Ordered pork and dry bean curd and Hunan chicken and both were good. Pork dish used ground pork and celery which was different than I've had in the past at other places. I'd try again to see what other dishes are good.

10/10 great tofu. My food was still hot when I got home and the tofu had great flavor and texture. Prices are pretty cheap too. Definitely going back while I'm in the area :

Great food, great service. I recommend the home style bean curds. Affordable price, well worth it!

My post will be based on two large takeout experiences at Hearty's. The first batch, my friends and I ordered the lamb pot special. The second time, we ordered three regular dishes, a large soup for eight people), and their special whole duck that is stuffed with rice and seasoning. Here are my ratings:Special stuffed duck $68 5/5): this dish was simply incredible. It's a mouthwatering whole duck, with succulent skin. The fat beneath the skin is NOT rendered however the fat tastes great! The texture alone is not for the faint of heart! The stuffings are rice and seasonings. Every bite is a combination of juicy duck meat, fatty skin and fat itself, puffy rice, and great seasoning. For $68, this dish is so worth the price!!!Lamb pot special $50 3/5): the portion was amazing. The taste, on the other hand, is just okay. There were plenty of lamb pieces and lots of vegetables. We just dumped the whole dish into a big pot and dumped the accompanying sauces and soups in the pot as well. After about 15 minutes, the pot was boiling and we served. I like the concept where the customer cooks the uncooked ingredients for a cheaper price $50 for that much food is a bargain). Unfortunately, the taste was only so-so.Beef chow fun and the two other pork and chicken with Chinese bacon dish picture 4) 4/5): the beef chow fun was amazing. The dish had the correct amount of seasoning and the beef was tender and not oily. The chicken/Chinese bacon腊肉 and pork dish were so-so.Overall, the restaurant provides great portion sizes even greater portions when you take out their uncooked dishes and you have to cook them yourself). Some dishes were definitely mega hits!I will go back!

As far as westernized Chinese restaurants go, this one is actually not super westernized. I ordered a chicken with garlic sauce and it was prepared with thinly sliced bamboo shoots and mushrooms, which is much more of an authentic Chinese manner than I'm used to at the typical Chinese takeout restaurant. The flavor was good, but I felt like there were a lot of vegetables and not a lot of chicken, which was disappointing, considering that I also felt like the portion was a bit small for the price. I also tried the crab rangoons and they were good as well, but again, not exactly a hefty portion for the price paid. Service was super friendly, though.
