We ordered for delivery. Food was quite good, particularly considering the time needed for transport.
The crab rangoons weren't chewy, as you often find with delivery and the General Tso Jumbo shrimp were the biggest I've had in my life and were also properly cooked (most restaurants tend to overcook shrimp.)
The Mongolian beef had tons of scallions (which I love in that dish) and was in a nice sauce. I wanted a bit more flavor in that sauce, but it was good enough to keep the 5th star.
The combo fried rice was also impressive with plenty of meat and the meats and shrimp were large pieces, not the usual trimmings left over from the prep of other dishes. It was a meal unto itself.
It was delivered quickly and I will definitely order again. -

Why do people continue to give this place 4 and 5 star reviews and still complain in every review?
My Mongolian beef was sliced sirloin and not flank. No red peppers, no rice noodles, no white onions and no flavor.
Completely devoid of all flavor! It just tasted like soy sauce.
My son had beef lo mein noodles and it also tasted like nothing.
I think this was the first time I have ever had Chinese where soup was not included too.
The worst Chinese food we have ever had.
We would could have got better food from the CVS frozen food section. -

It's tough to find decent Chinese food in the district so I was pleasantly surprised with the offerings from this spot. They have all the classic options you'll find at your typical Chinese restaurant, up i is the carry-out restaurant set up. I've only ordered delivery but the interior is nice. Great location on 14th st and decent prices.

I came in here during my lunch break at work, as I was craving some Chinese food. A note before I start this review for anyone reading is that 'Lunch Specials are only valid with the takeout menu'
I was greeted by a kind and welcoming staff and promptly seated! The interior of this restaurant is extremely nice, I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken as my lunch special and it was beyond delicious! It was cooked as authentic as it gets, and had a nice flavor profile with hints of spiciness! I also appreciated the respectable portion sizes that this dish came with!
I left this restaurant feeling very full and beyond satisfied, If You're looking for amazing Chinese food that is authentic then check this spot out by all means!! -

I was overall pretty satisfied with this restaurant. The waitress we had was polite and did a good job waiting on my friend and I. I had the sesame chicken with fried rice and it was $18. The meal came with white rice and I asked for fried rice, but was not aware it cost an extra $1.75. The waitress didn't say anything about that.
The sesame chicken sauce was pretty good and the chicken had a nice crunch (not soggy) and was very fresh (right from the kitchen). I thought the chicken was a bit chewey but overall good.
They do carry out too and it was pouring rain but the hard working delivery guy had a tarp and I saw him trek through it. You go man.
