This was an okay recipe. The chow mein was a bit bland for my taste, but the noodles were cooked well.

This was the worst chow mein I've ever had. The noodles were soggy and the sauce was tasteless.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The beef is always tender and the sauce is flavorful. I like to add a little extra spice with some chili flakes.
