There's two reasons restaurants stay open DESTINATION LOCATION As In; They're so amazing they've become a DESTINATION They're remarkably unremarkable...marginal to mediocre...at best...but their saving grace is a LOCATION is so unique it's almost impossible for them to fail This establishment is the latter, while my beef egg roll was ok--in that classic Chinese/fast food takeout sense, my entree --the General Tso's Beef...was a profound & pricey disappointment, the meat was coated shredded/slivers reminiscent of orange beef but with way less flavor and needing way way more chewing than any shredded/slivered beef dish I've ever tried. The fried rice that accompanied it complimented it perfectly as it was every bit as uninspired...starting with a texture that was waxy oily almost plasticy...maybe it's the rice they use or maybe it's what they use to actually make it. In any case while they got the color on the lighter side of "right", everything else about it brought to mind the "fried rice" cooks in camp and yeshiva would whip up to show us hoe multi-cultural their culinary skills were--even tho fried rice...like most Chinese Restaurant "staples" was actually created here--a fact I discovered during my last trip to China when I was at an event and one of the chefs asked me why I wasn't eating...my response turned into a discussion about kosher and THAT morphed into a discussion about Jews & Chinese food which culminated in our discussion about "real" vs "American" Chinese food...which brought back memories of Chef Leon of ShangChai in Bklyn & his annual family & friends Chinese New Year's party. As the guest list included Leon's "lansleit" the menu featured both ShangChai classics and Leon's "hometown favorites" most of which were amazing and 180 degrees from the Chinese food we were used to, After stuffing my face to capacity, I complimented Leon on everything and asked him why none of this awesomely amazing stuff with unpronounceable names and unbelievable flavor ever made its way to the menu. All I got in response was that look Tito the bandleader gives Max Kellerman at the end of DirtyDancing when Max asks Tito "if he has sheet music for this stuff" Sorry about the detour but disappointing Chinese food does that to me...anyway, now back to our regularly scheduled review When our entrees first arrived all it took was one taste for me to reach out to our server and point out everything I just shared with you here in Yelpland Rather than attempting some sort of make good or even a mild apology, our server shrugged in a manner that brings the term "polite indifference" to mind...which i guess could be the way to go when most of your clientele are college kids Aside from my profoundly unimpressive meal, I found myself wondering if the chicken in their General Tso's chicken was prepared in a similar shredded/slivered manner and served only when its texture brought to mind that salami you left drying in your garage so long even that even your dog took a pass the on it. Knowing General Tso, I could easily see him court-martialing the personal chef with the temerity to name what I was eating after his boss In case you're wondering, I'm not living in a vacuum, As the father of 3 MTA and 2 YU graduates, it's hardly the first time I've um "dined" in the area, tho as kosher dining standards have changed in the last few decades, you can no longer count on an amazing location as a reason to compromise on quality...that's why I'm hoping their menu is full of stuff that's more destination level than disappointing... I just wish I had known what they were before my 'beef' with the General

Don't eat here!I have bought food from this restaurant a few times. Previously the food has been mediocre, and more recently I notices the service was horrible.Once I attempted to walk in at 5:30pm, and they told me they were only serving pre-orders, but that I could walk in at 7pm. When I came back at 7pm they told me that they were closed! In addition to all this, they were rude about it as well, complaining to me that they had to do deliveries to far away locations.While the food is ok, the service is so bad that I could never recommend this location.All this in addition to the overpriced menu!

The food here tastes a little bland... Owners were cheap to give sauce packets. They offered 1 for like 6 people, ridiculous. It was also VERY pricey for this meal compared to other places. Take your services
Good food, nice serving staff, but way too expensive. Their prices are rising faster than they print menus. I ordered something that was $22 on the menu and they charged me $25 for
