    This place serves good shanghainese dishes. I particularly always enjoy the onion pancake. It takes a bit longer to make, but is so crispy and filling! Typically if you order 4 dishes, the 5th is free.

    Stir fry shredded pork

    Small unpretentious under the radar place with some pretty good basic dishes that taste almost home made. Everything we ordered was pretty good and very reasonably priced. The tofu dish was pretty well done IMO with a fluffy chewy texture. Not sure why the Yelp photos look so unappetizing and are all rando American Chinese fast food dishes? What I ate was authentically Chinese. Also there is a buy four get one deal which is a steal. Owners can probably manage their Yelp better so it more accurately represents the food, but in all honesty food was good.

    Buy 4 dishes and get 1 free. The food tastes really authentic. Portion is very reasonable. I would come back often.

    Small dishes but buy 4 dishes get 1 free or buy 8 dishes get 2 dishes free. All at reasonable price. Great for family style sharing to sample multiple dishes in smaller portions. Great for days when you don't feel like cooking. Some dishes are prepared with MSG and other dishes can be requested for without. Small restaurant but big enough for up to a party of 10 to under 18 in a semi private dinning area.

Overall, the food was excellent, even my Asian parents, who can be pretty critical when it comes to Chinese food, gave most dishes high marks. The crispy noodles had great texture, the West Lake beef soup was comforting and flavorful, and the eggplant portions were generous. The service was what I'd describe as classic Chinese restaurant service. The waitress came across as a little rushed and occasionally seemed slightly annoyed, but she was still attentive and accommodated everything we asked for without any issues. Our food came out at a reasonable pace, and we never felt forgotten or had to chase anyone down. The atmosphere had its own unique charm. The restaurant was playing early-2000s hip-hop while a Chinese gangster drama played on the TV, which made for an unexpectedly entertaining backdrop. The restroom was also clean, which is always appreciated. My only real criticism is the sweet and sour pork. The batter itself was crispy and well executed, but too many of the pieces were mostly breading wrapped around bone with very little meat. It was the one dish I probably wouldn't order again. Even with that one miss, everything else was strong enough that we left very satisfied.

The beef chow mein was good-- while it was lacking some wok hay, the noodles were fried to perfection. Flavor was lacking as well. The beef brisket was tender and the flavor was there but it was slightly tangy/sour-- on the border of doing bad? I've never had this dish taste sour. The typhoon ribs were filled with fried garlic and the ribs came out hot and crispy! I recommend this dish if you like salt and pepper shrimp/chicken-- this is a fun alrernative Service was better than the avg Chinese restaurant. We were 1/3 parties so I'm not sure if it changes when it gets busy. There's plenty of parking.

The menu has pictures and describes what is included with each noodle dish. The signature noodles I ordered came with crispy pork and beef, and both were delicious. I felt that the soft, tender beef was a perfect contrast to the crispy pork. This was a filling meal, and I also enjoyed the simple soup that came with it. A great option in this area!

    Guilin Rice Noodle vs. Taiwanese Rice Noodle…read more This was totally different from what I had envisioned when I first walked in a couple of months ago. At first, I was a little skeptical because the inside was quite dark, and the ambiance wasn't really what I preferred. But since I was already there, I decided to give it a try. I ordered a soup-based rice noodle dish that day. It was okay, the texture was more like regular noodles and not quite like the Southeast Asian-style thin rice noodles, I was familiar with. Then last Sunday, with the weather being so hot, I started thinking maybe their dry rice noodle would be a better choice. I looked through the menu, but some of the ingredient combinations were unfamiliar to me, so I decided to play it safe and ordered the crispy pork and beef dry rice noodle. It turned out to be a good choice. The portion was generous, a big bowl that even came with two small quail eggs. And a small bowl of chicken broth on the side. $12.99 When my order was ready, I picked it up and was guided to the sauce bar, where I could customize the flavor myself with hot sauce, soy sauce, chopped green onions, cilantro, and even dry peanuts ... etc. The DIY sauce bar was a fun touch, and the dry rice noodle gave me a completely different experience from my first visit. In the end, I enjoyed my lunch and took some leftovers home.

There's a self service station where you can grab water, bowls, utensils, sauces/seasonings, and to-go containers. They don't ask for tip here, but the staff still came by and checked on us during our meal, which was nice! Additionally, we love the ambience here. The warm lights and the live music make it a great place to enjoy dinner. Can't wait to visit again!

The noodle came out plain milky broth with spinach and it was so bland that I had to had tons of salt and pepper and soy sauce, oh wait the pork chop...it was a sad pork chop. I didn't even see pork. They tenderized it so much that I thought I was eating only the hard crunchy breading. And it was sooooo dry. Oh there's more. I also ordered the salt and pepper pork chop. It was horrendous, all I taste was msg galore. We also ordered thie drinks kumquat with honey and lemon and ice coke was the only thing that was good. The servers were asking us if we wanted the left overs to-go, we hardly touch anything. I said NO, absolutely not! The funny thing is the restaurant is not big approx 12 tables. They were super busy....how? Maybe we didn't order the right stuff. To me don't have so much food on your menu if u can't cook it. It was really disappointed. I was really WOW by it.
