BenApril 15, 2012You can call them to get a number before you come so you don't have to wait for so long.
mayonnaise shrimp, tony's three chili chicken, and garlic peapod leaf are my go-to dishes!
Chef Dry Chili Beef, Sole in Black Bean Sauce, Chinese Broccoli in Oyster Sauce. That's the Trifecta!

Art CerdaAugust 23, 2010had the chef's special dry chili chicken, Hot, Hot, Hot, (even for Hot people). but good.
Tonys chicken is by far #1! The pot stickers are pretty good too
- OlivaFebruary 5, 2012A roach crawled out from underneath the pot. showed it to the waiter and he killed it. Gave me a napkin and said sorry.
Rick LindemannJune 10, 2013Service was very slow. I think you just have to wave and ask to make things happen.- The mayonnaise shrimp appetizer is awesome.
Alana DritzApril 13, 2013Do not come here if you have a peanut allergy. Even if they say its okay it's not.
- Wow the service sucks right now. Spilling water, forgetting orders, favoratism. This sucks.
