| - Came here for the first time tonight and I'm kicking myself for not having gotten here sooner, if only they weren't all the way across town!
First, I have to say that the food was very fresh and very affordable. I could taste the freshness in every ingredient, and the flavors were fantastic.
For appetizers, we tried the pork & chive pot stickers and the veggie pancake. Loved the pot stickers, could very well be the best I've ever had. It was nice actually tasting the filling and not having it be just a small glob of vague meat paste inside a dumpling. I wasn't thrilled with the veggie pancake, however, it had virtually no flavor. (and that's the reason I'm not giving them 5 stars).
I ordered the chicken szechuan noodles and my hubby ordered the mongolian beef noodles. The food arrived but my order was wrong - and, amazingly, the waitress apologized for getting my order wrong and went back to put the correct order in. I can't recall another occasion where a wait person admitted their error - and I was impressed with her honesty. I knew I hadn't ordered a different dish, but it was nice that she didn't try to convince me that I somehow had mistakenly said the word zucchini instead of chicken.. nor did she blame it on the cooks.
While I waited for my entree, I tasted hubby's mongolian beef (we both ordered handcut noodles) and it was delicious. My own entree arrived shortly afterwards and mine was scrumptious also. Oh, and be warned.. when they say a dish is spicy, they're actually putting hot peppers in it! Mine was spicy and delicious and I even enjoyed eating chunks of celery so long as it was covered in their sauce. The meat in both dishes was quality trimmed, no chunks of fat or gristle in either of our bowls.
Hubby had about half his entree to box up when we were full, I had about 2/3 of mine - and our bill was under $30. We will definitely be going back there!
