“ This is my favorite chinese restaurant! I love their szechuan chicken, and their barbecue pork is to die for. There have been a few small errors in my times visiting, such as a small piece of cartilage/bone in the food, and getting the wrong type of meat in the dish. However, the customer service is delightful and are willing to correct mistakes with grace. Their food is fresh. The barbecue pork is unlike any I've had. Other places' pork reminds me more of jerky than freshly cooked meat, but here it is tender and flavorful. The atmosphere is cozy. It's pretty much what you'd expect from a chinese dining experience (at least in my experience). I will be coming back. Again and again. ”

“ I give 5 stars because this place does everything right.Very nice people great service, I ordered sweet and sour shrimp, house fried rice and Mongolian beef nothing exciting.Well I was pleasantly surprised large shrimp not salad shrimp in the rice and lots of peas and carrots and 3 other kinds of meat.The sweet and sour shrimp were a solid 2 bite affair thin crispy outer shell, impressive.The Mongolian beef was so tender with lots of scallions and just look at the picture it's stunning.These dishes are my favorite comfort food and every place does them differently.I recommend trying the hot and sour soup. ”
