| - Staying directly across the street at the Homewood suites. Don't let some of some reviews scare you. This place is nice, clean, and serves authentic fresh food. Very tasty.
Ambiance: Picture do not do it justice. Bright, tasteful decor. Clean. Not your typical dingy diner type Chinese joint. Almost a bit upscale. No gaudy Chinese decorations. Jazz playing overhead. Family run: patriarch runs front of house, and even has little girl sitting in booth, quietly doing what looks like school work.
Service: surprisingly good. Everyone pitches in, so the entire meal, from ordering to boxing up leftovers, is seamless. Even the patriarch at front of house pitches in to make the dining experience pleasant.
Food: remarkably good. Like really good. Seriously. Spicy Tom Yum soup is out of this world good. Broth has a nice spice level and is very flavorful. My wife does not do much spice, but it was so flavorful, she sampled it several times. Has considerable shrimp in it. All the veg is freshly added, and not cooked with the soup. I'd come back just for this soup.
We ordered vegetarian egg rolls. Again, a very fresh flavor. Not your traditional bean sprout filled egg roll, which I like, but nonetheless very good.
We split an entree. The general tso chicken. Broccoli very fresh and only slightly steamed. Nice and crisp. Sauce is authentic; not a modified sweet and sour. Properly cooked chicken.
Overall, very authentic/ very fresh. I like this place. More like 4.5 stars, but I round down.
