Good authentic Chinese food. The fried rice is excellent as is the egg drop soup. I'd give it 4 stars except that is quite pricey and they don't give you enough chicken in the Cashew Chicken.
Food: Very Good. I had the Chow Fun with Shrimps & Chicken. It was very good. Others had Beef in Spicy Garlic Sauce and Orange Beef, both were very pleased. We started with Crab Rangoon. It was perfect. Not greasy at all.
Selection: They had a wide selection of over 200 items!
Service: The tables are set, they just put the cutlery and napkins in pile and let you fend for yourself.
$: Good value
Cleanliness: Very clean, including the bathrooms.
Ambiance: Nicely done, some oriental restaurants are gaudy, but this is very pleasant. They do a lot of take out business.
Come again: This was our second visit and will probably go again.
Good food and service. Flexible about leaving out things like onions or making suggested changes. I'm not crazy about the potstickers and the egg rolls are just ok. Hot and sour soup is good too.
