The quality of the food was pretty good. The House Lo Mein with hand-pulled noodles was tasty (not very different from chow fun I’ve had elsewhere, though, in both flavor and composition). General Gao’s chicken was small pieces of white meat, which I appreciated versus the poor-quality bits rolled into balls of batter you usually get. And the vegetarian dumplings came with a delicious dipping sauce. But these 3 items, delivered, cost me $50. $50?! For two takeout entrees and...

How is this place so hidden?! The hand pulled noodles (get the wide ones) are perfectly chewy! The liang pi was so beautifully played and the sauce was peanut-based, which is different from what I'm used to, but delicious. The dumpling skins were fluffy and thick. SO GOOD. We found this place from Reddit, and were not led astray!

Ambiance may not wow everyone, but this place is on par with Chili square in Quincy, with plenty of parking and seating to boot!

The hand pulled noodles are amazing! Very authentic and fresh.

I recommend the N3. Spicy Hot Oil Seared Noodles. This was one of the best hand pulled noodles I've had. 11/10.

The Kung Pao Shrimp came with either white rice or fried rice and a soup (we chose egg drop soup). There were more veggies than shrimp, and although the shrimp was good the veggies were a bit hard.

Regardless, definitely a great authentic restaurant...
