Doesn't seem to be practiced here. There was a bit of deceit on our order with regards to the size of the dish and the price for the upgraded pork.

So this is the second Chinese restaurant in the Manchester area where we had a decent to good first…read moremeal and then a crappy second meal. My partner is Chinese, so we've eaten a fair amount of Chinese food in top US cities. Speaking bluntly and honestly, Chinese in New Hampshire is Chinese adjacent. It's designed for pallets that aren't educated on proper Chinese cuisine and flavoring. In saying that, they do have a good value menu of acceptable food. However, our last meal, the quality took a pretty big dip. I was frustrated that the sesame chicken was not white meat by default. Dark meat is an acquired taste and in this area, this is the first restaurant that served it as default. Another strange and frustrating trend with Asian restaurants in New Hampshire is that they offer two or three cuisines instead of focusing on one. A Chinese restaurant should not try to be doing Japanese cuisine and vice versa...

Excellent service but our friends knew the owner, which probably helped…read more The food and drinks were good, too. The pepper shrimp was a table favorite.

We stopped in for dinner and got: - "Pan-fried" Peking raviolis - Beef with ginger and scallion hotpot. First, the raviolis came out deep-fried, not pan-fried. Which is fine, but there is a difference and should be reflected on the menu. They were good, but being fully fried, the texture is different from a pan-fried dumpling. Next, the beef hotpot. It came out in a sizzling bowl. It was a large portion of beef, mushrooms, and vegetables (mostly onion). The flavor was okay. Certainly nothing offensive, and it was good, although a bit oily, but it was lacking an OOMPH. I wish it had more ginger flavor. Or maybe fermented black bean - that would have kicked it up a notch. There are actually two separate spaces here: 1 is the dining area, and 1 is a bar and lounge. Both spaces can order the full menu. The dining space was clean and casual. The staff working there were very nice and super friendly. From our experience, it's a middle-of-the-road Chinese restaurant, a place I'd go again but not a place I'd go out of my way for.

I ordered fried rice that was supposed to include meat and vegetables, but what we received was…read moreplain white rice that appeared to be reheated with vegetables mixed in. When we called to let them know we didn't receive fried rice, we were told that this was their version of fried rice and that they don't add soy sauce or hoisin sauce. Instead, we were told they simply heat white rice in the wok. What was most disappointing was the response. Rather than apologizing or offering to correct the order, we were told that we "should have known" this is how they make it. This is especially frustrating since we've ordered from them many times in the past and their fried rice was always made with sauces and had the expected flavor and color. Authentic fried rice is cooked with sauces that give it both taste and color, so this explanation didn't sit right with us. After being a near-weekly customer, this experience was enough to lose us. We won't be ordering again--especially now that a new Chinese restaurant has opened in Manchester.

It just wasn't a very good food, and the dude serving us in the Thai tourist costume seemed like he had issues. But this place gets a bunch of good reviews so perhaps I was just in a bad mood.
