I had the strangest experience here. Walked into an empty restaurant save for one family. The hostess just seemed really surprised I wanted to eat there. I am Asian, she was Caucasian. It wasn't negative but just like... Being surprised to have a customer. That said, I did not enjoy the food. Menu options were limited and from the 1980s. Sweet and sour soup had way more corn starch in it than it should have. Vegetables and noodles were overcooked. Seasoning was flavorless Place was clean though!

Love the Fish filet in General Toas sauce. The fish is so tender, and the flavorful sauce is a perfect match on the dish. Also, like the taste on the shrimp and lobster sauce, this is a dish that you don't want to judge the book by its cover. Presentation was dull and starchy, but the flavor was good. Our most recent visit, we decided to try new dishes, but it was really bad or did the cook just have a bad day? Egg flower soup was watery. Steam rice looks like overnight rice and lukewarm. The honey walnut shrimp was not as good. Will stay away for awhile.
