| - I really enjoyed the authentic Chinese food I had at lunch here. The food tasted good and the service was very friendly and helpful.
For the uninitiated, there are basically three menus here. I think that maybe if they stuck to one menu, they'd get better ratings.
The best menu is their authentic Chinese menu. This is on the wall to the right as you enter. It is in both Chinese and in English, but includes almost exclusively authentic Chinese dishes. The dishes I had were off this menu, were cooked by their Chinese chef, and were excellent - high in flavor, good textures, I'd eat them again anytime.
The second menu is on the left as you come in, and this is mostly Americanized Chinese foods. I think these may not usually be cooked by their Chinese chef, but instead by their non-Chinese workers.
The third menu is the menu of Thai items. The owner is Chinese, so while I haven't actually ordered from the Thai menu, I wouldn't expect great things from it.
The decor in the place is typical unpretentious Chinese, which is to say plain and frayed at the edges. Disposable plates and cups don't make much for ambiance, but most inexpensive but authentic Chinese places focus on the food and not the decor.
I deliberated on whether to give them three or four stars, but ultimately I've going with four because I did really enjoy the food I had, and the service was very good.
Order off the authentic (right-hand) side of the wall, insist you want it cooked authentically, and I think you'll go home happy.
