“This little stand in the Happy Valley Food Hall is serving up some REAL Chinese food. I was so impressed with the flavor of their cucumber "salad" which is just so tasty it's addicting - with so much garlic, it'll scare away any virus. Their beef roll is so delicious - I love that it has a great balance of beef and LOTS of scallions which always make it taste so much better. The scallion pancake holding it all together is delicious and not too greasy.I'm not a huge fan usually of battered, fried, sweet chicken, but their General Tso's chicken was really good! I loved the savory/sweetness balance they've accomplished. I plan on working my way thru their entire menu.I can't wait to try everything!“
“Street Wok is an excellent choice if you’re looking for standard Chinese food done exceptionally well. All the regular go-to’s are fresh and well-flavored - sesame chicken, orange chicken, won-ton soup etc. The food is several notches above the usual fare you’ll fine in most US cities. Located in an unremarkable strip mall with basic, almost barren decor, it’s easy to miss. Most people seem to do to-go orders, and the dine-in experience includes a looping Chinese song that played a minimum 12 times during our 30 minute lunch :-)“
“Szechuan Chef moved out of their main stream building and is now Word of Mouth dining- so you will get first rate service without the push of the crowds! Favorite dish: Cold Mixed Beef with hot sauce. This is the best in town- beef sliced thin- no rubbery thick pieces you find at other restaurants. They use the szechuan pepper liberally in this dish, and in their other menu items- your tongue will thank you! I am always disappointed with the lack of szechuan pepper at other places I've tried.The soup dumpling sauce is amazing! Rich and flavorful- not the watered down soy sauce other places do. Try the Hometown lamb pot for an explosion of flavor with natural bamboo shoots. The authentic menu items here bring out the people looking for delicious Szechuan food, and you are greeted with friendly staff who will recommend dishes if you ask their advice!“
“Our first visit here, though we love Northern Chinese food. We especially enjoyed the Cumin Lamb and the Crispy Fish main dishes. We also enjoyed Chicken Fried Rice and Hot and Sour Soup. Portions are larger than average for Chinese restaurants and that and the very high quality fully justify the prices!“
