    Born and raised in this neighborhood. This place has been a landmark in the community. Chicken wings and Mumbo sauce from BIG CHINA!

    This is how much shrimp came in the shrimp egg roll thats pretty ridiculous

    Trash shrimp egg rolls dont order em tore open my second one to find a single morsel of a piece of shrimp the cabbage was good though thats all there was in it

    Don't order the Mongolian shrimp. You pay $10 for a quart of onion with about 8-10 shrimp ...

I don't even know how to describe the energy in this place, but you can just feel it the moment you walk in. The restaurant has a dark aesthetic that gives it such a cool, cozy ambiance. My daughter and I ordered the Dan Dan noodles and spicy wontons. Everything was so filling that we ended up ordering another bowl of the Dan Dan noodles! And honestly, I still crave them. The Dan Dan noodles were SO good. The sauce was the perfect combination of creamy and spicy, and there was a generous amount of minced pork that balanced everything out really well. The wontons paired perfectly with the chili sauce that came with them! They were spicy--my ears turned red and my nose started running--but I literally could not stop going back for another bite. Even the wontons alone were incredibly filling. I don't live anywhere near this place, and I genuinely wish I did. I traveled pretty far to get here, and I'd absolutely do it again. This was one of those meals that stays on your mind long after you've left!

Great cocktails, better food. Some of our favorites are the salt and pepper eggplant and the OG LaZy chicken. Inside is dimly lit with energetic music.

With that, I must say that the reviews did not lie...gosh this food was AMAZING! The combination lo mein contained roasted pork, chicken, and shrimp. I added vegetables to the mix and honey, I was pleasantly surprised by the quantity (made for 3 small meals) but also the quality of the dish. The roasted pork, shrimp, and chicken was perfectly prepared and the lo mein was just right. The flavors combined together for a lite yet delectable dish and I especially loved the vegetables (bok Choy) I would absolutely order here again as long as the quality doesn't change.

The food is consistently fresh, hot, and good, and the customer service is always great. The restaurant itself is fairly small and definitely more of a carry-out than a dine-in restaurant, which is perfectly fine for what it is. My only complaint is that I wish they stayed open later! I usually have to order during work hours because by the time I'm off, they're already closed. Other than that, this is easily one of my favorite spots for Chinese food.

My wife and I now dine in or do takeout twice a month because we love it so much! Food: All the flavors stand out and you can tell it was freshly made. I have never had a bad experience with their food over the past year and a half they've been open. Service: All the staff is very friendly and even offer suggestions on what to eat and accommodations on exchanging ingredients for the food. Somehow they juggle phone calls, serving customers, and handling takeout all at once, without compromising on the quality of service. Value: The main dishes typically start around $15 but they're a heavy portion and are best served family style. The Chef Specials start around $17 and again, a generous portion size. The quality of the food and the amount is a steal for these prices. Ambiance: The aesthetics aren't fancy, more of a local shop with the minimum furniture. But the seating arrangement and atmosphere definitely make you feel like you're about to get a dang good meal. When dining it, you can constantly see people coming in and out grabbing takeout orders. An absolute good sign. Recommendations: Don't sleep on anything, try everything at least once's. You'll be very pleased with whatever you order.

Our order was brought out faster than I expected, with our mains coming up before the apps. Although not as spicy as I was hoping for, the spicy mapo tofu with noodles was really good.

I also tried the pan fried dumplings and spicy wontons in chili oil. Both were just okay. I'll be back when I'm in the area to try out additional items.
