We are always looking for great Chinese food. We have lots of places that we go for Chinese food and most of them are very average. 5 of us ate dinner here a couple of weeks ago. Every dish we had was well prepared, tasty, and flavorful. Mongolian beef, Szechuan pork, lemon chicken, pork fried rice, chow menu were all great. I particularly loved the pot stickers. So many times they are kind of doughy and seem undercooked. These were light, nicely browned and crispy on the outside. Probably the best potstickers I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot. Can’t wait to come back.

Tried the chicken cashew/ broccoli, Mongolian beef entrees with potstickers and beef sate for appetizers, it was delicious. Finally New York style Chinese food, after so many disappointments with the mediocre NorCal Chinese food.

Authentic and delicious!!! Might be my favorite pork fried rice I’ve ever had!!! Also got sesame chicken, beef & broccoli, chow mein w chicken & pot stickers. Very good & very fresh. Not greasy at all and felt great after eating- not weighed down or too full. Highly recommend for Chinese food!

Good food, delivered an hour earlier than I asked for, so not happy about that.. Will try eating in, as the food always seems better.

Had the Black Bean Scallops and Boneless Ribs. The scallops were generous and delicious. The black bean wasn’t overbearing. Having mushrooms mixed with the red onions complimented the dish perfectly. The Boneless Ribs had a welcome sweetness to it. Just enough fat to the meat to keep the meat tender and juicy. Parking can be an issue.

Nice looking place with lots of staff on hand. The menu has all the standard dishes that one gets at most Chinese restaurants. After looking it over i picked a szechuan dish. Given that the menu states that they specialize in Hunan and Mandarin cooking that was not a wise choice. Nonetheless it was a beautiful dish and tasty. I would say the sauce was more sweet and not spicy at all. Next time I’m in the mood for this kind of food, I’ll stop in again

It’s quite obvious to me that all the good reviews were by patrons who have never eaten great Chinese food.
