“ This is our favorite take out place. It's consistently good. Great portions. Orange beef, sesame chicken, moo shu pork and fried dumplings are our favorites. This place does not deserve all the negative reviews. It would be really sad to lose another one of our only neighborhood take out places. ”
“ i ate here with my bf james ma and ryan kellar while i was playing fortnite. i was eating my good generalsawchicken but then i got jumped in fortnite by a squad and died. i got really angry but luckily james ma's mother calmed me down with stuffing delicious dumplings in my mouth. it was a very enjoyable experience and i won my fortnite game afterwards. i would definitely eat here again because it makes me cracked at fortnite. 1v1 me if u disagree AntztheAnt. 5 STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!! ”

“ Amazing ambience amazing vibes I love this place. However, now that I am back the next day horribly hungover re writing this review, I would say the sake was not as desirable as i hoped for. ”
“ The fourth star is for being one of the few Chinese restaurants open during COVID-19. In fact, aside from the staff wearing masks, you'd hardly even know there was a change, which I appreciated. The food still comes out on actual plates, there's real silverware, and there's sweetener for the tea. First things first. The staff is friendly, efficient, and happy to customize orders. As far as customizing orders, I'd also note that the menu lists what's on every entree -- which, as a picky eater, I really appreciate. Also, the food comes out quick. Very quick -- as in approaching fast food speeds. Let's talk about the food. Fried pork potstickers. Classic Americanized Chinese food goodness. Unlike a lot of restaurants using the same food service product, these are the real deal -- steamed, then a quick pan fry before serving. And they're also larger than average. Combine these with the sauce and the chili oil (served on request) and you have a great appetizer to share or even a small plate for one. I also tried the General Tso's Chicken. Spicy Szechuan brags about serving all white meat chicken and it shows. As much as I know the quality of white meat is better, it also makes for a dryer entree. As such, I'd have appreciated a bit more sauce on the chicken. The large bowl of white rice was cooked correctly and made a perfect accompaniment for the chicken. All in all, it's perfectly good Americanized Chinese food -- and even more perfect as a dine-in option in the current environment. ”
