| - Quickie review: This is possibly my favorite Chinese spot. Amazing food, very reasonable prices, decent but timing is imperative when going there. I may have checked in once, so far, on here but have been at least 15 times and will continue to come here.
Real review:
Timing: Why should timing come before anything else? Well, during peak lunch/dinner hours, this place often gets flooded with tour buses full of tourists. I think this is a testament to how much this place is loved but it damn sure has deterred me from eating there a few times because of the wait times that'll come with such an influx of diners. Plan your day accordingly or wade through a sizeable wait....either way...it's worth the effort. Which brings us to....
Food:
As many commentators have notice, this is pretty un-Americanized Chinese food, if you're looking for simply a better version of Panda Express you should go to P.F. Chang's. So if that's what you're expecting, get ready to either be disappointed or have your mind blown. The first thing you'll notice is that they have a huge selection of food across several categories: Soups/Noodle dishes, Seafood, Beef, Pork, Poultry, etc. The second thing you'll notice is that many of the dishes are spicy. They have plenty of delicious non-spicy dishes but if you're ok with the heat, you'll be able to enjoy more of their selection. Unfortunately, I tend to be a creature of habit, so I have not branched out and tried a lot of their dishes but what I have tried, I love, and I am sure their other dishes don't disappoint. We usually stick to Mo Pau Tofu,Crispy Spicy Chicken and Salt and Pepper Shrimp when we go and they never disappoint. Also, on cooler days, their soups are great and do not skimp on portion.
Atmosphere:
Not the biggest place but it is pretty comfortable even during tour bus time (see above). There are modest decorations and decorum that give it a nice ambiance.
Service: Overall, service is decent. Food is served relatively fast. However, getting your server's attention can sometimes be difficult, especially when it's busy. Some might think this is enough to knock the rating down to a 4 or 3...but not me. While it isn't the most friendly staff in the world (mostly due to the language barrier making conversation difficult) they are never rude and, when you finally do get their attention, they do respond fast.
Overall, this remains my favorite Chinese restaurant.
