Meh. Maybe 2.5 stars.
I went there because I wanted some Chinese Food and was far too hungry to take the time to journey to E30th. The food is not terribly authentic or interesting-- just run of the mill Americanized Chinese suffering from an overabundance of "brown sauce".
THE FOOD: The veggies, chicken and shrimp are of good quality and fresh. I enjoyed my "cupid's arrow" special of shrimp and chicken with green beans in a spicy sauce. The spicy sauce was the standard brown sauce seasoned with peppers. My daughter's noodles were a giant undifferentiated lump of congealed starch, dyed brown with soy sauce. Inedible! The potstickers were a touch greasy.
THE ATMOSPHERE: I really miss the 1980s. So do they, apparently.
THE SERVICE: The one stand out is the service. Friendly, fast and pleasant. Our waitress was so nice and helpful. She even gave my daughter a tutorial on chopsitcks!
I'll stick to my favorite takeaway when I'm too lazy to journey East.
