On our visit, a few other diners were also eating inside. We ordered some classic favorites; while they weren't exceptional, they were enjoyable. At the time, only the dinner menu was being served, which features larger portions at higher prices, so we decided to share our meals to save a bit. The menu does offer a few vegetarian-friendly options. We tried the Kung Pao Tofu, priced around $13 for the dinner portion. It was packed with a spicy kick from the dried chili peppers used in the dish. Personally, I would have preferred it with the crispy tofu that is often part of this dish, but the flavor was still enjoyable and spicy. If you're considering a visit, I recommend going for lunch. The lunch specials are cheaper, even if the portions are smaller. Just keep in mind that the fried rice served with lunch includes pork, so if you want it vegetarian, make sure to request plain rice instead.

I’m glad I did—the food was good and reasonably priced, especially considering the current economic climate. If I had one suggestion, it would be to include more rice in the lunch special, as I prefer a larger portion. I ordered the spicy version of orange chicken, and it was quite decent. I will definitely be returning!

Although it wasn't what I expected, it turned out to be very tasty and packed with veggies. I also tried the Mongolian combination dish. While it wasn't as spicy as what I’m used to in Chinatown, it had a generous portion and was very flavorful. The prices are slightly higher than those at most neighborhood Chinese restaurants, but considering the quality and quantity, this spot is a great choice for a special Chinese meal.
