"This food is so delicious. I came here wanting a good meal and I got a great one. The cumin chicken was incredible and I hope the chef goes home everyday knowing they are doing incredibly."

"Dined in here on a Sunday evening as a party of 6. We were one of two parties here, it seems like this place still mostly operates as takeout/delivery. Upon entering, we were seated by the windows and the staff was very friendly they served us water in red solo cups. There's a promotion going on right now where you geta plate of free fried dumplings or soup dumplings with a $30 dine in purchase. We didn't know this at first, but the let us know since we had ordered enough food. We got the spicy fish fillet in chili oil, Dan Dan noodles, spicy and sour soup, stir fried green beans, spicy hot pot with fatty beef. General thoughts -- the spicy and sour soup was slightly more sour than I'm normally used to, but it was stuffed with veggies. The hot pot with fatty beef was generously loaded with a variety of veggies, although some of the veggies either seemed a little overcooked or wasn't in the best shape (e.g., squishy broccoli). The star of the meal was probably the fish filet in chili oil, this was also generously loaded with bean sprouts and cabbage. There was rice served with all the non noodle dishes. Overall, great experience with the staff. Food was decent for what you can get in the area. Another tip that I picked up, if you pay in cash you can get an additional discount off the total bill!"

"This place is pretty good. The food here is tasty, many different options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Service was good and we got the food very quickly. The one thing that bothered us it that we had a hair in our appetizer (earwood salad), which was absolutely delicious up until the point we realized there was a hair in it.."

"Good Chinese restaurant outside China town. I took my college age daughter and her room mate to this place and we had a feast. Clean interior, easy to find. Food was great. Price was ok. Everything we had was tasty and the portions were good, too. Only pet peeves for me was that the food were served in plastic dishes. That made the food look cheap. Also, I prefer to eat food from non plastic dishes especially at a restaurant like this."
