As a northeastern Chinese person myself, this is the closest thing i’ve ever tasted to my family’s own cooking. The most authentic food you can probably get in buffalo. Owner is very kind to me as well.

First, the bad: the food was *okay*. The fried wontons were a little greasy for my tastes, but I know other people like them. The fried dumplings were okay. However, the prices were very good and the dining area surprisingly spacious, service was good, and there were some big fishies too, so I recommend this place in the end :D

Peking Quick One
The pork rib soup here distinguishes itself immediately from standard wonton, offering a broth of remarkable clarity and composure that is both lucid and digestible. Tender ribs lend depth without weight, while bok choy and green onions remain fresh and articulate, contributing lift and balance rather than muddling the palate. In Chinese culinary language, the effect is 鲜 (xiān, fresh-savory purity) and 清 (qīng, clear and unburdened)—qualities often sought but rarely achieved together; in Cantonese, this reads as 清甜 (cing1 tim4), a clean, gentle savor.
Aroma plays a quiet but essential role. The steam carries a light, fresh fragrance—香 (xiāng, fragrant) without heaviness—inviting rather than overwhelming. The scent signals restraint and care before the first sip, reinforcing the soup’s composed character.
What makes the flavor truly fantastic lies in its restraint. From the Greek φανταστικός (phantastikós), the word originally meant that which reveals itself vividly to the mind—and this soup does exactly that, unfolding gently rather than announcing itself. In Latin, sapere (“to taste, to be wise”) reminds us that good flavor is a matter of discernment, not excess. In Hebrew, טעם (ta‘am) signifies both taste and meaning, an apt description for a broth that is lightly blended yet deeply coherent.
Medically and dietetically, the soup remains easy to assimilate. In Chinese dietary terms, it embodies 清 (qīng, clear/light) and 和 (hé, harmonious), associated with internal balance and digestive ease; clinically, this aligns with the Latin digestibilis (easily broken down) and lenis (gentle), indicating nourishment without irritation or gastric burden. Despite the use of pork ribs, the broth stays lucid, with depth achieved through technique rather than lipid weight.
This is comfort food expressed with intelligence: subtle, balanced, aromatically fresh, and confidently its own—quiet technique yielding a bowl that is physiologically calming, flavor-forward, and quietly restorative.

I place my order through door dash.So I couldn't leave any stars on the service or atmosphere.
But the food was horrible.I ordered the salt and pepper chicken and the sweet And sour shrimp.
The salt and pepper chicken tasted like greasy, seasoned fried flour with little bits of meat here and there.
The sweet and sour shrimp breading was so thick.You could barely taste the shrimp, which was overcooked and hard.
I had to settle for a couple of bites of the shrimp and mostly just poured the sweet And sour sauce over my white rice. Which was surprisingly pretty good.
I will never order from this place again Nor will I recommend it to anyone.

The sesame chicken without sauce was NIT SESAME CHUCKEN. It was chicken for sweet and sour chicken. Even the sauce on the side wasn’t for sesame chicken. There wasn’t one sesame seed on the chicken or the sauce! I would give this place ZERO star if it was there, therefore, the one star.

Worst Chinese food ever. Everything we ordered was thrown out. General tso tasted like it has tomato sauce all over it. The garlic pork didn't taste like garlic or pork. The "pork" had the weirdest texture. Never had anything like it before. Crab ragoons, how can you screw that up? They were chewy and tasteless. All 3 items were the worst ever. I'm not sure how anyone can think this food is good or even mediocre.
Authentic Chinese food, I always order from them
Stopped in for lunch and had some fantastic food. Hot chili chicken was so flavorful, eggplant in garlic sauce was delicious.
