| - Unlike some other Yelpers who expressed their reservations at the spare, communist-style decor, I immediately knew this to be a good sign. Every great, modestly-priced Chinese restaurant I have been to in NYC and San Francisco had similarly sparse regard to "flair." I found the dearth of tchotchkes and laquered dragons to be reassuring. These people are about the food.
Best chow fun I have ever had. Rendolent with that slightly smoky wok-fired flavor, with rich bits of beef, chicken and shrimp. The broccoli and bok choy were firm and tasty, and there were nice little pieces of fresh ginger. Also deserving mention are the Mongolian chicken and the beef with grean beans, all with that special wok-seared flavor. The roast duck was densely-flavored, crispy-skinned with a delicious fatty finish, just like duck should be.
We got take-out, and were shocked by the sheer volume of the food. Their portion sizes were generous enough to provide leftovers for two more days, and the owner threw in a giant container of egg rolls. On it was written: "FREE! Thank you very much." What a sweet, customer-loving touch!
