I don't write many reviews, but this place deserves one. Great people and great food. It's a hybrid of American Chinese and typical stuff you find in China. We ordered the Eggplant in garlic sauce, think of it like a hot and sour soup with eggplant...Read More

Surprisingly good food. The pan fried buns (生煎馒头) are crunchy on the bottom, juicy on the inside, and taste more or less authentic. The cucumber salad is quite flavorful and good too. The hot and sour soup is also decent and comes in a huge...Read More

The dry fried beef Chow Fun were very mushy, all clumped together, which makes me doubt whether they were freshly cooked. The quality was poor.

It's a nice place to sit and eat. My wife and I ordered egg rolls (4) come in order. With sweet and sour pork with pork fried rice. Everything was great, real Chinese food.

Sichuan boiled fish with pickled greens was missing flavor and Sichuan pepper. It felts like diluted with water. Cumin lamb had good flavor but was so chewy that my jaw hurts. It felt like FAFO.

Unpretentious setting, but the food is incredible. The pork belly and cabbage was completely unlike any other pork belly I've had- instead of crunchy with a sweet sauce, this was melt-in your mouth soft, set off by crunchy cabbage, and with a sharp vinegar...Read More
