This was one of the only Chinese, or faux-chinese, restaurants I found in Madison where I could have a great meal and afterwards not feel like the MSG was going to end me. The food is definitely fresh, or far, far fresher than most other Chinese places - yummy buffet, anyone?
I understand why other reviewers would dislike it. It's Americanized, and they don't pretend to be otherwise - get over it!
This place is great for students. The portions are solid, though going daily would be difficult on the wallet.
I LOVE the sesame chicken, though it's a bit spicy for my tastes.
I want it to come to Chicago so badly, but the competition might stave it for now.
