We picked up a quick bite, a large order of WOR WON TON SOUP. It was very good: gingery pork won tons, plenty for a light meal for two, good veggies, pork, chicken, shrimp. I'd recommend it.

We ordered shrimp fried rice, broccoli beef, pot stickers and egg flower soup. Everything was delicious. Service was amazing and price was fair. They allowed me to eat with my dog. I was more than thankful.

My friend and I got the cream cheese wontons, Mongolian beef, and General Tso's chicken. Everything was cooked perfectly and the flavor was delightful. Usually with deep fried chicken at Chinese restaurants, it's hit or miss, but I think they did an excellent job. I would recommend this place.
