“Real Chinese, Not American Chinese”

Being Chinese, I can tell you these are authentic, native dishes. I love it. The braised fish is delicious. I've read the neigh-saying reviews, and you can tell that they are either food snobs that don't appreciate comfort foods, or typical Americans who wouldn't like it unless it's sweet and sour chicken or pork fried rice. This is not fancy... more

For some reason, this restaurant has almost a cult following. This is inexplicable, because the food is completely ordinary at best -- typical neighborhood Chinese. What's unusual is how filthy this restaurant is. I haven't seen the kitchen, but if the front of the house is any indication, I don't want to. Don't bother. more

Some people swear by this restaurant, and for Chinese people looking for food from the motherland, this place might be great. While the food wasn't bad, it just didn't please me. more

Simple, good food. Never a wait, even on very busy mornings, for a two-top. Decent service, fast and hot and delicious. Awesome Sunday morning place to hang out and talk. more

Very good Chinese food. Also, they are willing to make food extra spicy and it is very, very spicy. more
