I recently had the pleasure of dining at Corner 21, a gem of Northeastern Chinese cuisine nestled in Springfield, Missouri. This family-run eatery is the real deal, serving up authentic, incredible Chinese food that's a far cry from your typical Panda Express fare.
The menu is a feast for the eyes, with each dish arriving steaming hot and bursting with flavor. The taro ribs, egg yolk baked pumpkin, spicy hot pot, and big skin noodles were particularly delightful. The portions are generous, and the cold dishes are a must-try. The dry fried squid was decent, but not as standout as the other dishes.
The spicy chicken was a hit, and the staff was accommodating enough to adjust the spice level to our preference. The braised pork belly & greens and the baby bok choy in garlic sauce were simply divine. The dry fried green beans with pork were another standout. The pineapple chicken was also excellent, with just the right amount of crispiness.
The ambiance is cozy, making it a perfect spot for small groups. The staff was attentive and helpful, adding to the overall wonderful dining experience. However, if you're ordering takeout, be aware that the yang zhao fried rice might not meet your expectations. But don't let that deter you from trying out this authentic Chinese eatery. It's a culinary adventure worth taking!
