"To be honest, I visited Old Thousand II without the highest of expectations. I knew that I wouldn 't be eating traditional Chinese food and that it would be more Americanized. However, I was really pleasantly surprised with the menu and the food here! The servers were also very accommodating because I brought my dog, and they seated us outside and brought water for her. I came on a Sunday morning, so we had some items from the Sunday Brunch special. My group ordered the Mala Fried Chicken, Brisket Fried Rice, Cantonese Scramble, Chicken and Waffles, and General Tso 's Chicken. The Mala Fried Chicken was really good and reminded me of the crispy fried chicken you could get from a more traditional Sichuan Restaurant. The brisket fried rice was also good and a favorite among my group. The General Tso 's Chicken wasn 't remarkable but wasn 't bad either. The two standouts from my meal were the Chicken and Waffles and the Cantonese scramble. The waffles part of the dish were bubble waffles that you would find from a Hong Kong style dessert place, and they were honestly amazing. The waffle was crispy but had a soft interior, and they were a perfect, sweet complement to the fried chicken. I was surprised by how much I loved the Cantonese scramble. The people in the group I came with were Cantonese, and they had no idea what that was. But the egg was scrambled really nicely, and eating it with the rice and the chili sauce that was provided was a perfect sensory experience. If I come back, I would need to order this again!"
