Surprisingly because, we spent over $100 for our food order and only asked for 1 each of hot mustard and sweet sauce for our egg rolls.

**Ambiance** The…read morerestaurant itself is a decent size with plenty of seating and large booths, so it would be comfortable for families or larger groups. **Service** Service was great. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. The staff spoke English as well as either Cantonese or Mandarin, which initially gave me high hopes for the food. **Food** I won't lie--I came in with pretty moderate expectations. After chatting with the staff in both Mandarin and Cantonese, I thought we were in for a really authentic meal. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. We ordered five dishes, and it quickly became apparent that the food is heavily catered toward American tastes. Several dishes contained ingredients that traditionally wouldn't be included, while other key ingredients were missing altogether. The biggest issue for me was the sweetness. Three of the five dishes were noticeably sweet, which isn't what I expected from the dishes we ordered. The standout dish of the meal was the Mongolian Beef. It was flavorful and wasn't overly sweet. That said, it lacked the spice I typically associate with the dish. The Mapo Tofu was probably the biggest surprise. It was missing the ground pork that usually gives the dish so much flavor and texture. Instead, it included bell peppers, onions, and water chestnuts--ingredients I've personally never seen in Mapo Tofu. Rather than being spicy and numbing, the dominant flavor was sweetness. The Chicken Pan-Fried Noodles were difficult to enjoy. The sauce was very sweet, and the noodles were cooked to the point where they were tough and chewy. Instead of the thinner noodles commonly used for this dish, they used thick noodles that reminded me more of lo mein. We also ordered a Beef and Scallion dish. It felt more like a beef chop suey variation with scallions added. The scallions themselves were cooked perfectly, but once again the sauce leaned much sweeter than expected. The Hot and Sour Soup was actually the first item to arrive. I jokingly told my family that if the soup wasn't good, I might be worried about the rest of the meal because hot and sour soup is one of those dishes that really showcases balance and technique. Unfortunately, it ended up confirming my concerns. It lacked the bold sour and spicy flavors that make the dish so enjoyable. By the end of the meal, we had a lot of leftovers. The only items we brought home were the Mongolian Beef and a few pieces of beef picked out from the Beef and Scallion dish. **Overall** This restaurant may appeal to diners who enjoy sweeter, Americanized Chinese food, but it wasn't for me. Based on this visit, I wouldn't return, and I wouldn't personally recommend it to anyone looking for the flavors and dishes I grew up eating.

My husband ordered the combination lomein extra spicy, a side of vegetable egg rolls and crabmeat wontons. The portion size for the shrimp fried rice was good, it looked good and it tasted good. The lomien was spicy and very flavorful but the portion sized stuff in that box was very disappointing for $14.95 plus tax!!!! The wonton were very good and the veggie egg rolls were small for $4.95 for 2 and disappointing as well... the place was nice on the inside and looked very cozy. For a total of almost $50 for 2 people and to be disappointed; we may give another try and see what some other favorites look like.

I am a Peoples 4 Star Chef of Latin Fusion cuisine. 18 years of experience under my belt. I know quality food. I have eaten here many times over nearly 10 years in Colorado Springs. I spent 8 years of my Chef career traveling and hunting down the perfect Hot and Sour soup. While theirs could be hotter, it is absolutely top grade compared to many others in my experience. They have both variety and very flavorful food for the price! Everything that I have ever bought has been fresh and delicious. No restaurant is perfect, but these guys get my rating at a gorgeous 96%! read more
