This place is Really. Good. The first time I came here I was prepared for some mediocre chinese food (because come on now, no one can compete with my Mom's food) but this restaurant is above and beyond. We normally order a lot of the chef recommendations and they are always SOOOOOO DELICIOUS and interesting. For example, I was never impressed by the sweet and sour pork at ANY restaurant; it's always too fatty, too soggy, the sauce wouldn't be good..bleh. BUT HERE...they add ice on top (and I wish I had a photo but I intelligently wiped my phone clean an hour after eating) and it ACTUALLY DOES make the pork wayyyyy more crunchy! The crunch factor really made this dish (which I never knew was possible), plus the pork itself was all meat (not a slap of fat) and who knew it would taste good when it's cold on the outside and warm on the inside? Another dish I really liked was a vegetarian dish; I think it had mushrooms and was wrapped in some type of tofu paper into a little dumpling. Super interesting dishes and super delicious. Everything we ever ordered here was great!
I definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for some quality chinese food (which, let's face it, you don't exactly think of quality when you hear "chinese food"). It has made my "fantasy" for yummy chinese food into a ..... Reality ;) (I try I try).
