To preface, I have a Chinese-American partner AND I went to China for over 3 months, so i’ve at least had some exposure to the food/culture. I went to Dun Huang for the first time to dine in & I had the Zha Jiang noodles (minced pork, mung bean sauce, etc) and the thinly sliced potatoes. I ate as much as I could tolerate because I’m a student working a job in the area and I need to eat something, but compared to all varieties of quality and differently priced foods in Asia, this made me so upset knowing that I had to pay a full American price for this meal. It was way too oily, somehow overloaded in the sauces but still not tasty or the right balance of flavors to justify the oiled up food. This was so upsetting because Chinese food is my favorite! I was just going to sadly pay the amount needed and go back to my healthcare job, because I know they’re just doing their job and I’m not going to single-handedly change the whole restaurant, BUT then the waitress got angry at me for not tipping on a meal I didn’t (couldn’t) finish, I didn’t even complain about the meal to her face, and she then tried to scold me by saying “If you don’t want to tip, only order takeout, but you dined here so you HAVE to tip”. I told her I wasn’t happy with the meal and was eating at this place for the first time ever, and I knew she was bullshitting me about being forced to pay tip (that’s illegal, say your full price on the menu or add this dine-in clause in bright bold letters at the front of the restaurant, but you can’t just steal from people). She got red faced and said “ Yeah, next time just order takeout or pickup, but you have to tip”. She pressured me to tap an option and stared at me expectantly but I just said No. Had it been someone else who was more uncomfortable or couldn’t call them out, they would have eagerly just taken your hard earned money. I can’t encourage you all any harder to find any better chinese food spot. What a shame :(

The food stinks. It smelled like a farm. The soup was bland and had no taste. But regardless I couldn’t get the smell out of my nose that immediately turned me off. We also ordered shrimp that was jot properly cleaned and had poop in them. All in all not worth it.

Soup was bland. Beef was bland. Taste was lacking any flavor at all. Photo was deceiving. Upon disliking my soup I ordered the shrimp of which I ate and saw that they do not clean the shrimp. Every single shrimp had poop/intestines and was a disgusting to experience. Please do better.

The food there are not “enough” enough, and not even delicious. Feel like I am throwing my money into a dead pool, with even no ripples.

Dunhuang's hand-shredded cabbage is the best hand-shredded cabbage here at Columbia! Stir-fried green beans are also delicious. I remember the dry pot cauliflower was pretty good too. The mapo tofu seems to be a bit lacking in taste, but because the hand-shredded cabbage is delicious, I still give you full marks ?. Friends who like noodles can try the Roujiamo and Lanzhou Ramen, both are good? The braised lamb is served with wide noodles, and the shrimps are also good. The liquid noodles in the appetizer were not delicious.

Vegetarian options: Hand-shredded cabbage, stir-fried beans, and mapo tofu are all meatless, but the first two dishes are more recommended. In addition, you can confirm with the clerk that the dry-pot cauliflower and stir-fried Shanghai greens should be vegetarian-friendly.

The food is the average and the service is certainly the worst. The Asian young man, presumably the owner, is extremely mean and rude. Just so arrogant and condescending.

My 4yo daughter loved the noodles. Tsingtao and beef and noodles on a budget makes me very happy.

Kid-friendliness: They were extremely good with my toddler

The pork feet were tough and the appetizer chicken wings were outrageously salty. The noodles were good and chewy.But they wouldn’t give me a $1 pack of hot chili oil even though I ordered $62 worth of food. I don’t carry cash. They said I needed to go back and order it on the app even though it wasn’t on the menu that I ordered from. Petty…

It's okay, but Kung Pao Chicken is too sweet and not very delicious.
