Surprisingly good food. The pan fried buns (生煎馒头) are crunchy on the bottom, juicy on the inside, and taste more or less authentic. The cucumber salad is quite flavorful and good too. The hot and sour soup is also decent and comes in a huge portion.
Overall quite satisfied and a big upgrade over previous establishments at this location.
I don't write many reviews, but this place deserves one. Great people and great food. It's a hybrid of American Chinese and typical stuff you find in China.
We ordered the Eggplant in garlic sauce, think of it like a hot and sour soup with eggplant and no soup, 5/5. Next thing we tried were the Peking spare ribs, as any Asian person knows, always chew slow. They fry these babies up bone in. The sauce was just the right amount of gooey sweet, 5/5. We got an order of their Juicy-pan fried pork buns. It came out a bit deflated, so the owner was kind and comped them for us. He didn't need to, not the best I've ever had, but a good example of what they should taste like, 4/5. Lastly, their pumpkin pie... It's not American Pumpkin pie by any means. Asian pumpkin filling, deep fried in a wet batter. Ate like a mochi, 4/5.
Go check this place out. They hustle and their food is tasty!
we really enjoyed the food! the beef noodle soup 牛肉面 is very tasty and value for money. the owners are very kind and friendly.
This is the best Chinese food I have had in years. The pot stickers and Mongolian beef are my favorite! The kids like the sesame balls. We will come back again!
All the menu we ordered were delicious. I forgot to take the picture of the dumplings. They are also very good. The service was great. The restaurant is clean and just newly renovated.
