Definitely not 3.9 star, probably a 4.4-4.5. Crab Rangoon are awesome (Top 10), beef with broccoli was moist and tender, sesame chicken is crispy and mildly sweet(perfect). If you a Chinese Food Snob go to a $40/plate place and leave great places like this to be explored by people like me.
Food is decent enough but I wouldn't come back here. Buns have almost no meat in them and the staff seems to be in a bad mood
All these people ragging on the prices might do themselves a favor and arrive before 4 for the lunch specials. I think it's 13.99 for a wide array of lunch dishes. I got the sezchuan twice cooked pork. I do hear what the other reviewers are saying about the saltiness of the dishes. Mine was absolutely soaked in oil to the point of excess but as most of the reviewers can attest, the flavor is strong. I was feeling like a big spender so I got an iced tea drink, which hit for sure. I think I'll be back next week for a different special for my afternoon job.
(4 1/2 stars) Really enjoyed our meal here. The pan fried pork buns were great! The steamed pork dumplings, king pao chicken, and beef with broccoli were all good. Pleasant and clean inside but you still get a bit of the old school feel. Fast service.
S-tier noodle soups. My wife ordered Szechuan beef noodle soup, and I got the ma la rice noodle soup with chicken. Soooooo good! It was raining outside, and the spicy soups gave us life! We ordered fried pork buns as an appetizer and they were 🤌
