    It's all about the tofu. Get it with everything. The fried dumplings are tasty as well.

    General tso's chicken is legit. And the egg roll on top isn't your typical filler side. It's delicious in its own right!

    Awesome Chinese food! But no funny tasting meat ever! And the sauces are excellent. They also have nitro oolong tea on draft.

    The General Tso's chicken was mediocre, but the atmosphere and nitro Thai tea were great.

    General Tso's Chicken is some if the city's best. Dumplings are just as good; steamed or fried.
