They claimed to have New York style Chinese food and I’m from New York. I can promise you this is not New York Chinese food! All I ordered was steamed dumplings and two egg rolls. The egg rolls had no cabbage in it at all as most eggrolls have. Instead, it was a solid piece of pork. Look at the photos for proof. The eggrolls are also very small. A New York style egg roll is the size of both of these! The steam dumplings are not dumplings, their potstickers. And even potstickers have a darker colored meat inside. The meat in here is pure white. Tasted like frozen GFS food that was just dumped into a fryer or heated up. Horrible and will never be back! Once again, this is not New York style Chinese food!

I ordered egg rolls, honey hot chicken wings, bourbon chicken, general tso chicken, orange chicken and rice. The rice wasn’t cooked all the way & the chicken flavors weren’t good at all. Waste of $76 for sure.

I was in the mood for some good Chinese food and I always remembered this place being busy when I was working for DoorDash so I wanted to give them a try. No special decor just a regular Chinese spot.I ordered the pan fried dumplings,chicken wings and shrimp low mein for dinner and ate half of it. I planned on taking the rest for lunch up until I woke the next morning with diarrhea and vomiting. Safe to say, the rest of my food will be going in the trash. Save your time and a lengthy trip to the toilet and go somewhere else.

Everything was quick & correct, but food itself was really not great with basically no flavor. Just tastes like water. Egg roll was good at least.
