Customer Reviews
It had tasty food, but we were persistently bothered by a fly around our food. The tomato and egg turned out to be it favorite. See review of other dishes in the photos. Staff was okay. New waiter, so can't blame him for errors, but the guy who came to recheck our order (and correct new guy's error) was a bit curt.
Our group of six dined here tonight. It's the best and most authentic Chinese food I've had around Chicago. Every single dish was great. The restaurant is clean, modern, and casual. Will be back.
Great flavors for some of our dishes. Lamb was quite good and the woodsear as well. But the silky tofu with salted yolk was horrid.
My party of five were seated fast, the table was clean, we ordered the Mongolian beef, Curry beef, combination rice, spring rolls, the orange chicken and they jasmine green tea (came in pot) , they were all super fresh and delicious, the staff gave the check as soon as we were done, they were also very nice and welcoming. The best thing about this place is that it isn’t that expensive. I really can’t wait to come back here!
Hot and sour soup was really thin, was not hot (temperature OR spice level); oily, and devoid of flavor. Sparse tofu, carrots, etc. Mongolian beef was more onions than beef, and the beef was very fatty. Everything smelled and tasted like old oil. This was a take out order. Had I ordered in, I would have sent it all back. Disappointing.
