| - My initial comments were based on delivery to my home. Since then, I have dined in the restaurant. There is SO much that is good about this place. It starts with the homemade noodles; they have what Italian cooks call great "tooth feel," meaning the homemade texture stands out and highlights the sauces. For the Dry Noodle and soup dishes, you will have a choice of thin or wide noodles. I prefer the latter with sauces and thin noodles with soup. A number of Dry Noodle dishes use an authentic Chinese sesame sauce, which is less creamy than mid-Eastern tahini sauces. Toss, give the sauce time to coat the noodles and you'll like it.
The soup dumplings are delicious; the veggie dumplings are good but a little bland. Ask for shredded ginger and chili sauce to spice things ups. From the Dim Sum menu, try the Pan Fried Onion Pancakes with Sliced Beef which are impossibly good. Many of the appetizers are palate refreshing, like the pickled cucumber and five spiced eggplant. There are four selections using rice. I have tried and liked Braised Beef over rice, which has a tasty gravy, infused with Chinese five-spices seasoning.
Finally, this restaurant offers real value to its customers. Most dishes are under $10.00. You easily get four dishes, which is enough to feed 3-4 people, for under $40.00.
