Below-Average Food, Nice Proprietors I feel bad giving a two-star rating as the shop proprietors are quite nice. The food, on the other hand, is quite sad. Ordered the half Hainan Chicken and Tomato Beef Chow Mein. Chicken is really bland. It's pretty much boiled chicken...Read More

The food is ok. The portion is big at least for me but the food is just average. The service is not so well

I went to this place twice, thinking that the first time was a fluke. Go anywhere else! Bad food, slow service. Strange large translucent gelatinous goops in the Hot & Sour soup. It had very few mushrooms compared to the hot...Read More

The restaurant itself is not really anything to talk about, kinda dingy, kinda messy, pretty much what one might expect from a hole in the wall. The food too is not really all that impressive. I ordered a Sichuan Fish Fillet and got something incredibly...Read More

Avoid this place at all costs especially if you're in a rush. Snackpass told me it'd be ready in 15 minutes, took them 40 minutes to prepare my food. Owner was rude, too - I tried showing her my Snackpass receipt on my phone, and...Read More
