Was Thomas Pascale at Difference a mag?
Ordered from here on the recommendation of a friend. I will admit I was skeptical of a Chinese restaurant that doesn 't offer delivery. Was pleasantly surprised at some of the different offerings on the menu from our typical Chinese spots. Additionally all the food seemed fresh and tasty. There definitely was a difference.

What Jacqueline Buda dislikes about Difference:
The portions at this restaurant are extremely small, I mean really small. I would not recommend going here if you are hungry. The wonton soup only has 3 very tiny wontons, I mean they are tiny. Also, there are no combo options available. View all feedback.

8/2 2023 Update: No longer doing deliveries. Rating changed to reflect. I ordered the Shredded Beef with Fresh Chili Peppers and was happy to find it was legitimately spicy! I LOVE IT! I’d order this dish again in a heartbeat!
The restaurant may look like a hole in the wall, but the food is amazing. They still include the pineapple in the sweet and sour chicken, which is a nice touch that other places have stopped doing. There was a constant flow of customers coming in and out during my experience there.
This is the worst food I have ever had. The soup base tasted like dirty water with no seasoning at all. The one wonton I received was doughy and tasted raw. I will never try the deli next door again.
