| - This is one of my regular places. It's pretty unique and eclectic (as another reviewer said) but everything is still recognizable. Their appetizers and salads are very good. Their quasi-make your own stir fries are the reason to come here. They are awesome!!! You select which meat you want, the type of rice, and the sauce. All their sauces are fantastic. The Peking sauce is the best. It's no longer on the menu but if you ask, they'll use it. You then get your meat stir fried with a selection veggies and the sauce. Rice on the side. The meat is clean and lean and the veggies are fresh. I've never had a bad stir fry. Their noodle dishes are very good also. The kids dishes (except the mac 'n cheese) are fantastic and they're big enough to be an adult lunch. The mac 'n cheese doesn't belong in an asian place and isn't that great.
Cons: Stay away from their "classic" dishes. They are just not that good. Their regular fried rice as well as their ten-ingredient fried rice (which one of my friends swears by) are both bland and very, very lame. We tried to find the ten ingredients and couldn't even if we counted the rice. The other dishes, like sesame chicken, are OK but nothing spectacular. Soups are also blah.
Another Con: If you come here often enough (like I do because I love this place), you know which veggies go with which entree. You can order items specially made. I usually order no peppers because I'm mildly allergic to them. Your chances of getting the item your way are about 30% if it's quiet and 10% during the lunch rush. Very annoying. The veggies are all cut big, though, so it's fairly easy to pick out unwanted things.
Pros: Besides everything else I already mentioned...friendly people, quick service considering they make it to order, clean restaurant, really nice atmosphere, and...wait for it...FRESH fortune cookies. If you order a kids meal, you get a chocolate dipped fortune cookie.
