- john rojasFebruary 28, 2012Food is decent, better than other Chinatown tourist traps, not the best in town. Don't let owner order for you. He will recommend too much food. Sauces can be cloyingly… (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Reginald PointdujourFebruary 18, 2015The white fish that I ordered was okay: unexpectedly greasy actually, but my friend enjoyed his Nanking chicken. The service wasn't so good for me as I don't believe in accepting cultural rudeness.
No need to look past #1 on the lunch menu.. best sesame chicken ever.
Andrew CerdaDecember 29, 2011Sweet Potatoes and Sesame Chicken. Rich. Flavorful. Fabulous. You can thank me later.
Neeharika BhartiyaDecember 26, 2012Fried chinese eggplant much better than eggplant in chili garlic sauce
EduardoFebruary 14, 2016The food was good but I recommend you to pay cash. They returned my credit card (with very impolite manners) with a 'failure' and I paid cash. To my surprise my card has been charged several times.
E YApril 6, 2013Dude...there's a secret menu for Chinese people and the waitress pretty much orders for you if you're Chinese O.o
Michæl BrettAugust 11, 2014Don't expect any smiles with the service. It's a bit manic and there is usually a queue at the door to get in.
Richard GrattonApril 21, 2010Get the Ginger Chicken, and make sure you go early and with at least 4 people so you can try more of the menu than I did.
Caren K.March 23, 2012All the food here is pretty good. I especially liked the house garlic noodles.
Jack ShamamaNovember 13, 2010Really great place to take parents & our-of-town guests, the sauce on the shrimp packets is sooooooooo good.
Stephanie NgFebruary 13, 2021AVOID - restaurant told my dasher that “the order had too many items” and they would not be filling it!!! This is after she wasted 20min of her time waiting for it. Ruined our lunar new year dinner.
FoodspottingNovember 18, 2010Try the Pork Eggroll, Hand Rolled Steak Burrito and Shrimp Wrap with Peanut Sauce
Jason SchlosserJuly 15, 2011Ask for something special. They cooks will surprise you and it will not disappoint.
Tom BooneMarch 8, 2010Great place to eat if you are on business and by yourself. Try the nanking chicken with Sweet Potatoes, it's awesome.
SejalOctober 7, 2010Great place to eat - fast service too! Get the spicy garlic/eggplant, absolutely delicious!
MarcoNovember 18, 2010Try the Pork Eggroll, Hand Rolled Steak Burrito and Shrimp Wrap with Peanut Sauce
Jeff LatimerJune 30, 2016The Crackling Shrimp (honey shrimp with apples) is amazing! A must have dish! I'll never be able to eat Chinese again and not think of this meal.
Sarene Leeds PetrovitchJuly 5, 2011Get the salt and pepper shrimp with mushrooms and the sesame chicken.

"Superb Dim Sum. I particularly liked the leek dumplings, zhiu zhou dumplings, and pork buns. Be sure to use the spicy red sauce generously!"
Neal Joseph - 7.9
"Very very tasty. The salt cod fried rice is a must get. And their West Lake porridge is perfect for a sick day"
