Today was my first time there and it was really good. The food was hot, flavorful, and very decently priced. The restaurant was also clean inside and staff were polite. One of my entrees was sweet and sour chicken, and I assumed the sauce would come with it but it didn't. At checkout the cashier asked what sauces did I want, and sweet and sour didn't come to mind because I assumed it would be a given ordering the sweet and sour chicken. I just thought he meant additional sauces....read full review
I ordered mapo dofu and crab rangoon. The food was tasty, but their was too much Chinese prickly ash (花椒) in it for my taste. Also, I prefer the Sichuan style of mapo dofu. Dofu is the Chinese way of saying tofu.
I will go back again.

Best Chinese restaurant in this county by far. Consistently excellent food and service to match.
