Our Guestbook
“ This used to be our go-to Chinese restaurant whenever we're in town; however, sometime during the Pandemic the ownership changed. We took out a few dishes from the new ownership and were utterly disgusted with the quality. It's been a few more years. I am not sure if ownership changed again, but we decided to give it another chance. I didn't recognize the owner - not sure if it was because of the absence of mask. But first impression was she didn't care to be cordial or friendly, just doing the basic part as a wait staff. On the plus side, the chairs and tables have been upgraded from what I could remember. We ordered our usual dishes in order to gauge the current quality. 2 staple Sichuan dishes: Kung Pao Chicken ($14.95) and Shredded Beef with Hot Green Pepper ($17.95). We also added a noodle dish: Sauteed Noodle with Pork & Scallion ($11.95). Kung Pao Chicken was rendered differently - sweeter and not as dark but tasty none the less. The Shredded Beef was also slightly different, thicker and obviously tenderized with baking soda. It was good enough. The sauteed noodle was good but it's a generic dish so no authenticity to consider. A number of deviations from prior experience. The chicken and beef dishes each only 1 bowl of rice, instead of a big serving bowl for the table. We had to ask for one additional bowl of rice. Not sure if it was missed but we didn't get charged for it. The tea wasn't complimentary any more. $1.50 for the pot. Overall, we weren't disappointed because we came in with low expectation. We will be back again hoping to see that they can at least maintain the same consistency. ”
“ Still the best. I discovered their interpretation of kung po chicken last night - I thought I was in heaven. Even their mei fun is good, not oily! I don't know why they don't advertise - it is a reasonable priced hidden gem. ”
“ Everything was great! We ordered 3 pepper chicken and kung pao chicken m. Totally enjoyed it! ”
“ We do take all the time the service is always quick and pleasant the food is fresh and at a reasonable cost! It's a cozy restaurant ”
“ One of the best Chinese places around. Food is delicious, service is amazing and servings are just the right size not to feel sick after. If you come for your regular plates you get everywhere else, they got it. If you want something that other places don't have: like whole fish dishes, they got it! ”
“ As far as local Chinese spots go, this one is the best. The place is small, but their takeout is delicious. It reminds of a NYC Chinese place. The ribs and fried rice are the best around. Definitely order from here! ”
“ Came here during Christmas ! Seating was very quick and service was fast. We ordered scallion pancakes and steamed vegetable dumplings - the dumpling sauce and chili oil added a lot flavor. For main course we ordered Dan Dan noodles (vegetarian), tofu and vegetables in thai basil sauce, chicken in spicy garlic sauce and shrimp in schezuan sauce. Dan Dan noodles were decent - we appreciated the bean paste as a replacement for the pork. Husband said the chicken dish was fantastic, and the shrimp dish was great also but said the shrimp had a little too much breading to it. The veggie dish needed more flavor. Overall would come again ! ”
