| - China Town was completely overwhelming. How do you decide where to eat when there are so many options? In our case, you glace into a restaurant and see them making dumplings by hand... So you Yelp! them and you see people saying mostly good things. Seems like a good option and you're tired/hungry, so you pop in. Lucky for us, we immediately saw the "cash only" signs... Otherwise that would have been embarrassing.
We were seated immediately and the restaurant was pretty full. We started glancing around and saw lots of delcious foods floating around tables. This was reassuring because the table was a little sticky and the condiments were not really clean.
At the suggestion of other reviewers we got the green onion pancake and pork green onion dumplings. My husband also ordered General Tao's chicken with white rice. I found the pancake a little flavorless but the dumplings didn't disappoint. The General Tao's, however, was a little perplexing. It was the stickiest, most syrupy sauce we've ever had on a similar dish. And it was deep red, like red velvet red. It was full of peppers, but not really spicy. The chicken was good and breading was just right... But pieces came in inconsistent sizes, which made them difficult to eat with chopsticks. Also, all of our food came to the table at different times, with our dumplings coming last. Prices weren't bad though.
