The Essence of China offers exceptional customer service, with staff accommodating and efficient. The food is delicious, with generous portions at a reasonable price. Menu highlights include sesame chicken, lo mein chicken, barbecue pork, shanghai dumplings, and General Tso's chicken. The restaurant provides a calm atmosphere with soothing music, and the service is excellent and friendly. Customers praise the Pot Stickers (steamed) as rivaling the best from San Francisco, and the Hot and Sour soup is noted as great. With good sauces and a focus on authentic Chinese flavors, this restaurant is considered Chinese soul food. The owners are very nice, and the place is beloved for its nostalgic feel, making it a happy discovery for many.
