Five stars for food and nice people. The place is small and there's a lot of pressure to eat and get out, so that's not ideal. I haven't ordered anything off their Americanized food menu so no, I can't tell you if their General Tso's Chicken is better than the deep fried sugar-coated glop down the street...but their other stuff is excellent. The wonton noodle soup in particular is THE comfort food that will keep you alive in the winter cold.

One other downside, their hours vary and change and they vanish from time to time. If this is more than a short and convenient trip for you, ALWAYS call first to make sure they are open.

Items are expensive, especially for a take-out venue. The General Tso's Chicken was a big disappointment. The chicken was tough, dry, and obviously reheated with some kind of bottled sauce poured over it. The noodles in the Chicken Lo Mein were fine but the veggies that ought to be included were spare.

I asked for fried rice. Its literally plain white rice with a fried egg and carrots and peas. This was after i added my own seasoning as there was none! What a rip off. Charged me $13. After calling i guess only the dinner fried rice comes with it made in seasoning (soy sauce) but the lunch special fried rice does not come with any sauce in the rice! So cheap hahaha

So far everything I have tried is delicious. The spicy wings are incredible the way it is presented and served. Looking forward to trying salt and pepper calamari. The shrimp with vegetables was fantastic. I highly recommend this.

I stopped in to Chef Lau for a take out order of vegetable fried rice. I had never been to this restaurant before and I was pleasantly surprised. It was absolutely delicious, lightly seasoned and loaded with vegetables…perhaps the best I’ve ever had. I will not be a stranger to this wonderful restaurant!

Vegetarian options: I only ordered the vegetable fried rice but will branch out the next time I order. 5 star rating from me!
