yay!
Its hit or miss at this chain of restaurants.
Sure, their pan fried shanghai style dumplings are delicious.
The beef rolls are gristley beef, not same flavor at each location. Regular dumplings are good.
The eggrolls are ok, the onion pancakes, i never understood the desire for these bland non nutritional items.
I should never have ordered Kung Pao chicken at a dumpling restaurant, and i can sadly say it has no familiar flavor of kung pao that i have eaten for decades...read full review
