Customer Reviews
I really hate to leave a bad review of a small locally owned restaurant, but I need to. This restaurant was one of the few open on a holiday evening. Their staffing was ridiculously low. It took a LONG time to get questions about the menu answered and then another long time to order. Our ordering was interrupted by her having to leave to take care of take out customers. There were no alcoholic drinks available as there was no bartender working. The menu is very extensive and has more of what I would call “authentic” Chinese dishes. There is even an “American Chinese food” section of the menu. The food was all good and plenty of choices for vegetarian/vegans. The shrimp and mixed vegetables contained a lot of fresh vegetables and not the usual canned mushrooms and a limited amount of vegetables. Our table was never checked on, water not refilled, and the check took a LONG time as well. To be fair, we should give it another try but in my mind if you are open on a holiday, you should be staffed to give proper service on a holiday.
All the food we ordered are super good. This is a very authentic Chinese restaurant, you can find super tasty dishes here. People here are very nice, provided a welcoming atmosphere. Please give it a try if you are looking for real Chinese food.
The spicy sour cucumber is haunting and fresh with tang and heat. Pea shoots were also fresh with garlic and ginger, not oily. Plaza parking, easy access. Very nice owners who were perfectly attentive. Update: still really interesting and delicious. Nice atmosphere and good service. We had spicy tofu, dry fried green beans, Chinese yam. The Chinese yam is crunchy almost like water chestnut not like orange yam.
Great spot for takeout, with both traditional and American style dishes. Standouts include Cumin Beef (spicy!), Vegetable Mai Fun (thin noodles chock full of fresh veggies), Dry Fried String Beans (very flavorful with garlic and ginger), General Tso’s Chicken, and Scallion Pancakes (dipping sauce is great). Some complaints on here about service, but I’ve always found them to be friendly and efficient.
Not authentic Chinese food. Vibes and seating were good.
