Went in for a quick 'late lunch ' ordered vegetable dumplings and a few other items. Initially the counter took the other as PORK dumplings, then called back to correct. Well, they were pork. There were no vegetables in there. I broke one apart, took it back to the counter to confirm. They told me they were vegetable, which was a lie.I only eat vegetable dumplings so... I know.I won 't be going back. Ever. Vegetarian options: If you are a strict vegetarian, don 't order the veggie dumplings

Ordered General Taos and Sesame Chicken, chicken fried rice, and egg rolls. The sauce was the same for both chicken dishes, very little flavor. Last I checked General Taos is supposed to have some spice and isn’t the same dish as sesame chicken, which is supposed to be sweet. Only difference between the two chicken dishes was that they sprinkled some sesame seeds on it. The fried rice was yellow (that’s new to me for fried rice) and had very little flavor to it as well. Some pieces of onion and that was it. The egg rolls were over fried and chewy. Don’t waste your money in my opinion. There are better Chinese restaurants out there. Don’t recommend.
