Red Corner China Diner

 Who hasn't seen the movie A Christmas Story? If you haven't, you are a bit deprived and need to see it right away! Ok, you can wait until next year and watch it during the annual TBS marathon showing!

SPOILER ALERT:  
(so, if you have not seen it and choose to continue reading, it's your own choice, lol)

Anyway, there is a well known scene where they end up eating their Christmas dinner at a Chinese restaurant, you will have to watch the movie to see why this happens. Anyone who has seen it, though will always remember the FA RA RA RA RA RA RA RA RA! But I digress....a few days ago I started joking around about finding a Chinese restaurant open on Christmas day instead of our preferred buffet! 

Well, today as we went to go eat, the buffet place was closed! We were surprised! As we continued on to another errand while I tried to figure out what options there were for eating, we drove right by Red Corner China Diner and there were cars and their OPEN sign was lit up! We were VERY surprised and laughed, so guess where we ate?! Of course you know we went right back there after our other errand!

It was not overly crowded, which was nice, there was a steady flow of customers both dine in and carry out, I was happy to see this, I did not pay attention if they had any signs up for specials house, but I suspect there were just open their regular hours and were rewarded with steady business for the entire day! The staff was very busy the entire time and had great customer service all around!

We've eaten their food before and like it well enough. Only drawback is if you like sweet and sour chicken but don't like the peppers and such in it, this is not your place to eat! However, they do have plenty of other options! For example, to get your Sweet and Sour fix, try ordering the chicken egg rolls! YUM!

Steve ordered Orange Chicken with steamed rice. I ordered Lemon Chicken with steamed rice. I also ordered a cup of Egg Drop soup and Chicken Egg Rolls, which we shared. We also ordered 2 pieces of chocolate cake to go! We took those and a little leftovers home! It was a great meal with good atmosphere and not overly crowded! 

Some people get most excited about the fortune cookies! Well, guess my luck ran out with finding an open Chinese restaurant on Christmas Day because my fortune cookie didn't have a fortune! HA!

I even joked that we should make this a new family tradition for Christmas! This is what Christmas dinner was for us this year, what's it to you?
