As for the other dishes, I haven’t tried them yet, but the portion sizes are quite generous—everyone left feeling full with plenty of leftovers. My partners both mentioned that their dinners were good, too. The only issues we had were that either they forgot one of our rice sides or the portion of rice was small, as they combined both servings into a single box.
Overall, the taste and portion sizes of the food were excellent for the price. However, I suspect that the restaurant may be using ingredients that aren't fresh. The Beef Chow Fun with Scrambled Egg lacked freshness. Some Chinese restaurants tend to use alkaline substances to mask the unpleasant taste of subpar ingredients, which can leave a slight burnt sensation in your mouth after eating. I would advise against ordering heavily seasoned dishes here, as I have concerns about the quality of the ingredients used.
The duck was fatty and had bones in every piece, making it quite unappetizing. The orange chicken was soggy and overwhelmingly sweet, while the dumplings were mushy. I spent $37 and ultimately had to throw our meals away.
Sautéed Mushroom w. Tofu is definitely a favorite. Also, the House Special Fried Rice did not disappoint and they're generous with the amount of seafood and meat included!
Food was delicious. My rating on this place is solely on the food. It was absolutely delicious. My favorite part about the food was the breading was very thin so we had nice sized portions of meat in every bite. It tasted fresh and was very nice serving sizes. My only complaints are the decor being old fashioned and lack thereof and also the staff seemly not caring about anything you have to say or your existence. Our waiter did nothing to show disrespect, but he seemed like he didn't really care. Not that this changed my opinion because the food was so good. Thanks tasty kitchen. We will be returning.
