delicious food i would highly recommend and will definitely come back.Every dish we tried was a masterpiece of flavors and textures, showcasing the chef's impeccable skill and dedication to authenticity. From the delicate dumplings to the fiery Szechuan specialties, each bite transported us to the bustling streets of Beijing or the tranquil tea gardens of Hangzhou.The attention to detail extends beyond the cuisine to the presentation, with each dish artfully arranged to please both the eyes and the palate.

Probably one of the best Chinese food and cleanest you'll ever find in Selden. A little overpriced but the quality is the best and always deliver what it is. They're a family operated store so it's usually under staff in the customer service area. Not their fault but the customers coming in especially the international students are usually very rowdy and ill-mannered. Food is definitely worth trying in none rush hours.
Why has it taken so long for us to find this gem. The variety of food they serve here is pretty incredible. We've been here multiple times in the last 2 months and have tried different dishes each time. There has been no disappointment. Eel, Fish, Chicken, veges, dumplings. Everything has been good. Always have leftovers for the next day and the bill at the end of the meal is reasonable. Fast food costs about the same price nowadays, and instead I get freshly cooked authentic chinese food. I haven't tried their american chinese dishes yet, can't comment on that. It's family owned, and the kids help out. They are on the shy side, but respectful kids. Like kids, they can get entranced to the cellphone when its not busy, but they come right over if you call them for water or something.

First impression was very clean, small and quaint, about 6-8 tables. The booths had adorable over stuffed chinese characters to dine with. We were given menus with a bowl of peanuts, which were enjoyable to munch on while looking over the extensive menu. We ordered the Chicken Wonton Soup. The broth was delicious, and the wonton wrapper was like rice paper, very thin and pleasant, not a typical thick wrap that hides the flavor of the meat inside, which was a tiny chicken Meatball. Next were the fried pork wonton. Delicious. Again, the outside didn't over power the flavor of the pork inside, perfectly and evenly fried. Roast Pork Fried Rice was not typical roast pork, it was authentic and so good! Rice wasn't sticky, it was moist and delicious. I ordered the Lamb and scallions. This was next level. The amazing flavor and tenderness of the lamb. Not a store bought scallion with heavy onion flavor, this was vegetable-like. Lastly the Beef and Mushroom stir fry. Again, flavorful and tender, we would have preferred less mushrooms, more beef. Excellent food experience. Only negatives: Everything came out as it was ready, not in soup, appetizer, entree order, so the fried rice came out first, then an entree, then the soup.....And the service. Painful. The family sat at a back table on their phones and computers, not checking in at all for drink refills or even the bill.

This might be the best Chinese food I have eaten, anywhere. Also, being family owned gives it that much more authenticity and how they take passion in cooking for their customers stands out. I will keep coming back.
