We were big fans of this place years ago when we lived nearby, but hadn't had them since a disappointing meal over a year ago. I'm happy to report we gave them another try and everything was perfect!We had chicken fingers, scallion pancakes, and crab Rangoon all fried to perfection, not greasy or burnt. Peking dumplings were delicious, and generous portions of everything in the combination dinners!This place is definitely worth giving another try if you were on the fence before!

I love their beef teriyaki. It is sweet and savory tender and wonderful. Their egg rolls are wonderful.the whole menu is good. I usually do take out as Hubby will pick up and pay so I don't know about the atmosphere. I can't complain about the service since I don't eat there but the food is always fresh and ready. The main course I bought was hong sue gai I think that is how you spell it and it was so good and hit the spot.

Frustratingly bad since I live a three minute walk from here. I have ordered here twice. I have tried this place a couple of times and ordered a few different dishes in hopes I would find something they do well - no luck. Both times I threw most of it out. Bland egg rolls with no pork. Pork leek dumplings with tough chewy filling. Inedible tough chewy orange chicken. Bland beef broccoli even asking for it spicy. Fatty chewy pork strips etc etc. I'm not asking for much, I grew up on Kowloon's. On the plus side the staff that works there is very pleasant and cheerful.

This place when it opened started out great. Now its way off. Chicken Lo Mein had weird "cakey" stuff on the chicken. The Spring Rolls had mushy inside, no carrots, veggies. The Chicken with Vegetables had way to much oily sauce that I had to drain out, not very tasty. Don't know what happened here regarding the quality of their products.

Called ahead to place an order for House Rice Noodles with extra peapods.Girl didn't understand what peapods were, no matter how slow I was mentioning it.So I said that I would just drive there and order it in person. I got there at 8:25 and placed my order.I waited in their restaurant for almost 45 minutes. They finally handed me my rice noodles at 9:10.When I got home to get ready to eat, I noticed the smell of curry in the noodlesThey had made me Singapore Rice Noodles instead of the regular rice noodles.I don't like curry and my whole dinner was completely ruined.Thank you very much No. 1 Taste...You should actually be called No. Zero.

I had high hopes I'd found the hole-in-the-wall place where I'd become a regular.What I got was ignored, and what I ate was average.Pork fried rice was decent, but it had a peanut butter taste to it. Not sure where that was coming from...Glad I tried it, but I can't see myself making a return trip

Ordered from here by accident instead of hometaste so I had to drive across town. Had chicken garlic sauce and general gao chicken with fried rice. Wife liked the general gao but I did not. I thought the sauce tasted a bit funky. Chicken garlic sauce did not like the vegetables in it. Fried rice seemed old

I love coming here especially for the appetizers the crab Rangoon and scallion pancakes + firecrackers are always so good!
