Absolutely the best food I’ve had Great quality, staff friendly and beautiful decor. The owner says the restaurant has been there 49 years and he says they have many regulars that come there to eat. We just accidentally ended up here by googling .. this is our new favorite place when in town.
Dear Wall…as nasty/rude as the front counter dude was today, the food should at least be outstanding…egg roll good, but orange beef is fried leather! This is certainly not the Great Wall of yesteryear!!
Outstanding food and service! Great ambience.
