It has been at least six years since we tried this Chinese restaurant nearby our house, so we stopped in to order some lunch for take-out.

Carlos got his usual beef chow mein Hong Kong style, and I got the BBQ pork chow fun with gravy (IOW, not stir-fried and without beansprouts). We also got an order of gai lan, Chinese broccoli. None of these items appear on the menu, but they are available if you ask.

The BBQ pork was pure salt, the exact opposite of Full Moon's which was pure sugar. Neither is correct, but the gravy was tasty if rather salty. I suspected some MSG, and did have some mild symptoms afterwards. 

Carlos said his beef chow mein was tasteless, and didn't have enough gravy. The gai lan was good, but no better than any other place that serves it.

Time has not improved Fountain Court. We won't be back.

Two people, lunch: two noodle dishes, one vegetable side, was $28.
