Food was amazing, had the chicken and rice noodles. Rice noodles were amazing. Everything was. Guy at the counter was friendly and hospitable. If you order spicy be ready for actual spicy food!

This is my 3rd time ordering from here. First 2 times were good. Smaller portion sizes than the competitors. I don’t normally leave reviews, I just don’t return after a bad experience… today was a crazy day, so It was a $50 last minute dinner order. Everything was over cooked. I ordered a family general tso’s chicken, 2 orders of crab rangoon, fried wontons. With this we received 1 fork and 1 fortune cookie. Obviously the family size is intended for 1 person, not 4. The crust on the crab rangoons, and fried wontons was so burned it was inedible… the usual “soft” spot contained dried out meat. The sweet filling in the crab rangoons were pretty much cooked out of the wrap they are in. Empty. Yeah, they are supposed to be crispy, but not like burned tortilla chips. Now onto the main course.. No one will eat the chicken… it’s our go to order from any place like this over the last 20 years. It was very dark and dry. Which is bizarre for this meal. Odd charred oil flavor, can’t really explain it.. such a disappointment. Now it’s 7:15pm on a Saturday and I’m gonna have to order from another place… my kids eat just about anything and they won’t eat what was delivered..

The appetizer I ordered (steamed dumplings (6 pieces) were delicious but surprising. The dumplings are meant to be dipped into the sauce; you’re missing out on flavor if you don’t do it. The sauce is soy sauce mixed, maybe with something a little sweet (would be sugar)? Maybe some ginger? I didn’t get much garlic, lemon, or ginger from it. The green onion and garlic flavor came from the filling.
