| - I felt it was time to update my review since they changed a lot since my last review. Don't worry though, everything they did was for the better, and the place is still as good as ever.
I will note the things that have changed though. They have new menus now, since the old ones were all scribbled on, torn, falling apart. The Mandarin menu is still up on the wall, but they now have a beautifully done full menu in English (feels like a textbook almost!) that contains all the dishes in English. My favorite though is that they also now offer a smaller, "Americanized" menu, with the stuff Non-Asian ethnicities are likely to expect at a restuarant. Even this though is still 100s of choices.
Second, you now have to pay a table cleaning fee. Before, you were expected to clear your table (just remove all dishes and trash to bins located all around the restaurant) but I guess too many people were just leaving their dishes and no tips either. Hell, I often would leave tips even when we cleaned off our tables because the staff is always so nice. But yea, it's like 50 cents I think per person, and they now clean your table off at the end, so it's actually very reasonable. Still no tips expected, you just pay the fee on your bill. We still clean our table off for courtesy, but you don't have to.
You also get your table number after your order now. Also, lot's of people will stand up front and look through their menus, but we always just take them back to our table first and look while also grabbing a table we want. :D
All and all, the food is still amazing, and I've never had a bad dish here. I'm definitely starting to get to the point though where I have found so many excellent choices that are so superbly good, I just stick to them. As always, the staff is super friendly and courteous too. The front counter lady, I believe her name is Tina, is one of the nicest people I know. Seriously, she puts a smile on my face, and I just want to give her a big hug. She treats everyone like family, and it makes me so happy to know there are people still like that out in the world when there is also so much bad going on.
All and all, this place is still top notch, and do yourself a favor and check it out if you haven't already.
Pro Tip: Go with a large party and share your platters. Even the small size meals are enough to feed two people heartily. It's a ton of fun though to just have everyone order different stuff, and pick a little bit of everything!
