    S2. Twin Pepper Chicken 双椒鸡 (this chicken smelled sour and was spoiled)
    Gina A.

    First impressions are important! We tried this cafe for the very first time and it was disappointing. -The dumplings: frozen, not made fresh. Very bland and jiggly. -Shrimp Tempura: weird send extremely greasy! -Twin pepper chicken: the chicken was spoiled and smelled sour. -Hot spicy crispy chicken: the coating has good flavor, but the chicken was spoiled. They used the same chicken to make both entrees and when I cut into the chicken it was slimy To say our first experience was disappointing is being way too nice. The lady I spoke with (Ms. Doris) was nice and immediately offered a refund, but we left everything else. I'm not sure why people hype this place up. Maybe they haven't travelled much? Who knows, but we certainly will never go back.

    My daughter and I came here and left determined that we'd be back. Wow! I can't say enough about the Curry Singapore noodles! Those are out of bounds delicious. The service was amazing. We were personally checked on frequently by the manager -- as were all who dined in. Cozy spot to grab lunch or dinner. I have not had Curry Singapore Noodles that compare. Superb.

    General Tso's Chicken, extra spicy, extra veggies.  Still coming out of the box, and I already ate some.

    Tonight I am out of town for work and staying in a hotel. I'm not feeling well and it's cold outside, so I decided to order delivery via Favor. This place was highly rated, and hot Chinese food sounded like just the thing to make me feel better. Food was delivered quickly. Portions were unexpectedly huge, to the point that they wrapped my food in foil because it was erupting from the to go box. None spilled thanks to the amazing packaging. I requested my chicken extra spicy, which they did very well, and there are plenty of vegetables as requested to balance the chicken and sauce. The one critique I have is that I wish they offered appetizers, soups, and sides in smaller portions for people like me who are eating alone. I would have ordered a cup of wonton soup and a few crab Rangoon if smaller portions were available. Still, 5 stars for this delivery!

    I don't typically stray from my normal routine when I stop into a restaurant, but today I wanted noodles. Tried their flat rice noodles. I love flat noodles...so I hope theirs is delicious! We ordered and waited. My noodles came out piping hot with steam still coming out. Whoa! Loving it so far! Time to try my food...not too bad. A little more sauce on the noodles would have made it a solid 5 star visit. They were pretty packed tonight with news on the tv. A bit loud, but it was ok. I'll see yall again soon.

    Absolutely delicious! Everything was beyond great besides the steamed rice ..that can use some work. Too starchy= they don't wash it well. Will definitely be back!

    Mapo Tofu, a bite of spice and will numb your mouth but very authentic.

    Use to be good, wow have they slipped. Chicken was a strange texture at least the whole pieces, the rest had a texture of a shredded chicken taco. Some of the vegetables were mushy and the sauce had zero flavor. It was just something sticky clinging to everything else. The service is also not that great, bunch of teenagers standing behind the counter, screaming and yelling. It was almost like I went to a Chuck E. Cheese. Used to be my favorite spot, not anymore. The white rice was just a big scoop of sticky slop. No resembles to rice for the most part. Eggroll was crispy on the outside, kind of but then pure mush on the inside. Basically threw money away eating here today. Walked out after a few bites.

    Sweet & sour chicken, spicy edamame, hot & sour soup, side order of lo mein, general tso chicken with white meat.

    We're from out of town and a friend recommended this place. It's very good and will definitely be back. Big portions and great price. The owner was sweet and welcoming.

On the occasions I've gone in, the restaurant has always appeared clean and well kept. Customer service can be a little hit or miss, which matches what some other reviewers have mentioned. I've had visits where the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and others where I was simply stared at while waiting to order without so much as a greeting. It hasn't been bad enough to keep me away, but it's noticeable. The food is why I keep coming back. The bánh mì sandwiches are excellent, especially the short rib version. My wife is obsessed with the green onion pancake, and I wish I knew the recipe for the dipping sauce they serve with it. The pork belly steamed buns are absolutely worth ordering, and the crispy pork belly rice is still my favorite dish on the menu. The rich pork belly, fried rice, fresh salad, and vinaigrette all work really well together. If you haven't been, it's worth a visit. Try a few different dishes and you'll probably find a favorite of your own.
