This is the best Asian food I've ever had! They have such a diverse menu and the food is amazing. This is the only place in the area I know has duck and it's amazing. This is now out go-to spot for Asian food.

This is such a great place. Does anyone know what happened? Google says its temporarily closed.
Have eaten here many times, and the food is always phenomenal. Truly authentic szechuan dishes, fresh food! Also the kimchi is much better than the ones you can find at hmart.

My go-to place for Chinese food. I love their food!!!! The owner is friendly and personable. The prices are reasonable. I have only ordered takeout here so I don’t know what the dining in experience is, but their takeout is fresh and delicious.

So, after many years of driving past this place, this weekend, I decided to stop in. Man, am I glad I did! The look of the restaurant isn't really all that appealing, but wow, the food is really good! We ordered egg rolls, chinese buns, pork and chives dumplings, spicy shrimp, and veggies (fried), and the star of the show, the duck!
The egg rolls were crispy yet moist with a nice flavor. I cut it in two pieces, and you can feel the crispy shell and see the steam coming off the cabbage filling!
The chinese buns were nicely made. They were basically churros without the sugar, I enjoyed them very much!
The pork and chives dumplings were delicious! It was quite a delicate flavor on their own, but coupled with their soy sauce, the flavor picked up a couple of notches. The soy sauce seemed different from what I'm used to. It seemed to have a little more of a vinegar finish; it was different but pleasant.
The spicy shrimp and veggies, all fried, was quite enjoyable. It is spicy, so your enjoyment of this dish will depend on your tolerance. I thought the flavor profile was quite nice. One thing of note, for me anyway, I would prefer a bit less dough on the shrimp itself, but overall, a good dish.
Lastly, the star of the show for me at least was the duck. This dish was spectacular for me! It was incredibly crispy and fatty seasoned to perfection! I had it with white rice, and I touched it with a bit of duck sauce for that sweetness, and it was just incredible! Needless to say, I'll be ordering it again.
Overall, this is a family restaurant offering authentic Chinese food with a quiet atmosphere. It's kid friendly and should be on your list for a visit.

This place has the absolute best Chinese food and when I say Chinese food I'm talking about authentic Chinese food if that's what you're looking for you need to come here and check it out for yourself you will not be disappointed. They also offer cooking classes where you can learn to cook this type of food for yourself and you get to take home what you make

We love Sichuan food. We went to Tao's for dinner and enjoyed the dishes we ordered- a chicken dish, a lamb dish, and a beef dish. They were all tasty. We also tried their fried rice, which was also quite good. The only thing that was disappointing was that with all those dishes, their policy is that they don't include white rice with any of them. This is unusual and frankly, petty. Every one of these dishes, except the fried rice of course, should come with white rice as an included accompaniment. How else are you supposed to eat it? Not a big deal, but petty. Also, not a big deal to include it. Rice is still quite cheap as a filler. Then I was told that they would only give us one rice at a time (we were two people) even though we're paying for it. Why? So We can't take home leftovers? SMH. The portion sizes could have been a little bigger for the price, but I'm more annoyed at their pettiness than the portion size. Service was friendly, the dining room was spacious. There is a small parking lot in the front (not sure about additional parking in the back, etc.)

This food makes you feel like you’re experiencing something special and rivals many of the restaurants in NYC. Plus, the boba is so tasty, made with fresh fruit and not too sweet. Additionally they offer cooking classes and wonderful hospitality :)

Like others have said Hidden Gem. I don't knock the service and atmosphere to discourage you not to go just for honesty. The Atmosphere is clean, respectable, perfectly fine but nothing to write home about--who cares! The service too is fine but there seems to be only the two of them so since neither can duplicate themselves, occasionally you wait--more often you wait at door. But she is perfectly nice. VERY proud of her food as she shoould be. Lamb with cumin superb. Mapoo tofu, lovely, all the grilled meats also great. Eggplant I liked. A-chai and Lettuce just wonderful flavors for vegetables. Go here. It is wonderful.
