This was my first time at this restaurant. The gentleman who waited on us was not very fast or friendly but in fairness to him, he appeared to be the only one working with the exception of a cook in the kitchen. The portion sizes were very large but the food was just average. We had the orange chicken, combo fried rice and the BBQ pork appetizer.
Came here to try it out. The menu is modern Chinese dishes with a few traditional items. I was disappointed that they didn't have the hot and sour soup, traditional BBQ pork or Almond chicken and the waiter looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language when I asked him to compare almond chicken to a menu item that sounded similar. The BBQ pork, while not exactly what I was craving, was still very tasty. The veggies were tender crisp and the bbq pork still had that BBQ flavor with a good sauce that they were cooked in. The Mongolian beef was not spicy and seemed more like a variant of broccoli beef. The pineapple sweet and sour chicken and the cashew chicken were both very good. The pot stickers were cooked crispy and were also tasty. Note these were all items we took to go just before closing on a Saturday night. While the restaurant is small it is worth a visit. In summary the food didn't wow me, but it wasn't bad. We will need to dine in to get a better feel for the food.
We had the shrimp with lobster sauce, sweet and sour pineapple chicken, and orange Mandarin Chicken, along with a plate of combination fried rice. The food came out as expected, hot out of the wok, and very delicious. We also had the potstickers as an appetizer and those were fantastic as well. Great food, plenty to go around, and very reasonably priced. A family of four could eat there easily if you did not order alcohol for under $50 including tax and tip.
