I've eaten at a lot of Chinese restaurants and many of them don't make their soups and dishes fresh when ordered, but every order we've gotten here has fresh ingredients with each retaining its distinct taste. Their War Wanton soup is the best I've ever had and so is their fried rice. Since most all shrimp sre farm raised these days they have no taste at all, no matter where you get them. But the shrimp in the fried rice and other dishes here are not only very tasty but cooked just perfectly. I'll admit, the atmosphere leaves something to be desired but I'm rating the food.
