Living on the east side of town, I have come to absolutely adore this Chinese Restaurant.
It's hard to find authentic chinese food around the college area, where the average college student thinks authentic chinese food is Panda. It's slightly disheartening because there really isn't enough traffic through here as it deserves.
The owner is really nice, I wouldn't necessarily say the waitress there is the friendliest. She speaks engrish real good so there are definitely lost in translation moments but I would have to say that's part of the authentic experience.
My FAVORITE dish is the Szechwan Lamb. It's to DIE for and their seasonal crab is fabulous. You can't go wrong with anything szechwan you eat here since that's they're specialty.
The eggplant is great, although I might be biased since I'll eat anything eggplant. Any of their veggies are great, IF they have it stocked. In the beginning when they opened, they had a great selection of veggies, but recently the low traffic stops them from keeping a large selection.
I really do recommend it here. It's a great value and you'll leave a happy eater =]
