“I come here often enough that I noticed the police and detectives come here.”

I come here often enough that I noticed the police and detectives come here. It might be antidotal, but they come here because the food is good, consistent quality, and the service is usually prompt and pleasant just as I have discovered. Tasty Hot and Sour soup, the pot stickers are thick and fully filled, the entree portions are always generous and easily shareable with a small group. I'm not sure about the dessert offerings, but good luck getting there after your entree!

“I was the last to order and they took over an hour to deliver my order.”

I was the last to order and they took over an hour to deliver my order. My noodles arrived burnt , from top to the bottom completely unacceptable. Highly advise avoiding this restaurant. Plus by the time I received my items I was unable to call the restaurant because they were closed so I couldn't address this issue with them.

Love this spot! Grew up in the neighborhood and it's been a go to for us for some time! We get the chicken chop suey, combo lo mein, mushroom or ham egg foo young. The egg rolls are good and the wonton soup is a fave when I'm sick! I think the prices are solid given the portion sizes. Definitely give this place a try if you're thinkin about it !
