This was one of my favorite Chinese places before we moved away from this area. From my experience and the way my family ate growing up this place is authentic. They will also accommodate some of my special requests from when I was younger. The place seems to be family owned and operated, which is another plus in my book. I have not had anything here I did not enjoy. I've only eaten in a few times and the rest were take-out. I cannot tell you about anything sweet and sour or any of the more "American" dishes, though.
