If you're looking for authentic and flavorful Chinese food, you found your place.
Being Chinese, I can honestly say, I know the difference between good Chinese food and Americanized Chinese food.
Moreover, both of my parents loved this place. After my mom passed, my father came here nearly every other day to get food. If that's not a vote of authenticity, I'm not sure what else is.
Onto the food!
It's flavorful, filling and if you're willing to try new things, you may find your new favorite dish. I personally can't start a real Chinese restaurant experience without a bowl of hot and sour soup. Their ??? has the right amount of heat and tartness. I always add in a dash of white pepper to kick it up a bit.
The eggplant is a hit if you're eating with Chinese food newbies. I believe they have two kinds. Ask for the one with wood ear... trust me.
Service!
If you don't speak Chinese, please, for all that is good and holy, BE POLITE AND PATIENT. Don't get your panties in a bunch of the Chinese (and very sweet) servers take awhile to understand that you really can't have anything with gluten. You think they were taught "gluten" in their night classes? Hell, do YOU even know what gluten is? But I digress...
This place is awesome and again, authentic. So please take it for what it is. Enjoy the Chinese TV and trust me, loud slurping is a total compliment.
