The ambience here is phun AF and komfy AF. A bar area in front loaded with locals and much joviality here. Keno and scratch tix add to the festivus happening here. Moey and I opted to sit in the dining area which was somewhat spartan but still quite nice with white table clothes and a bit of minimal bric-a-brac decor peppered about. The drink menu is HUGE and prices are very reasonable. I was quite smitten that not only did they have the usual array and Tiki Cocktails but they also have a HUGE list of classic American old-people favs such as Rob Roys and Stingers and Wallbangers and many, many more as well as a list of straight-up boozes of cordials and bourbons and tequilas and everything. This "dwink" menu was perfect for a noon-time lunch session. My latest jam is to pair old-people cocktails like Martinis and Manhattans and Sidecars with my Chinese food. Admittedly, I usually first "practice up" by starting things off with a tiki drink or two and then I will get the ball rolling by proceeding into the old-people cocktails. It works quite well for me. The phood menu was the usual Moo-Goos and Moo-Shoes and Kow Pangs, etc. Rather than bore you with details let's just say that all phood was hot n' fresh and scrump AF, bro. Everything took care of business and then some... The waitress was wicked nice and a total honeybunch. All smiles and on the ball. In short everything is wicked pissah and then some... HIGHLY recommended to all YELPers and non YELPers alike. Peep it out! NOTE: This was the best eggroll I've had. Krispy AF and great texture and flav.

We were in the area and this place had good reviews, so we decided to give it a try. It ended up…read morebeing a very pleasant surprise with both the food and service exceeding expectations. We sat by the bar area with several televisions facing us. The noise level was average. To start with, their watermelon Mai Tai is a masterpiece--so delicious. They have a sushi roll special: when you buy two, you get one free. Very nice rolls. The highlight was the Chinese dishes. Their chicken with cashew nuts was flavorful and had fresh vegetables. Their sky pork fried rice was a work of art, including spare ribs. I would drive back to this place for this rice alone. Our server was very attentive and checked on us often. Then Steve stopped by and engaged us in conversation and made us feel like distinguished guests. He then asked us if we had tried their Japanese crab rangoon, and we said we hadn't. He responded that he was going to provide us a complimentary sample. It was a very unique dish, and we will be coming back for more. At the end of our meal, they also provided a warm towel. This place provides a five-star treatment.

Served with spiked soy sauce for drizzling or dipping. Nice change-of-pace item. -- Salt and Pepper Wings: Breaded, fried, seasoned, and topped with black pepper, fresh peppers, and onions. Crisp and juicy, but ultimately not that spicy. Still enjoyable. -- Wontons: Crisp, standard, solid. -- House Asian Noodle: Thin yellow noodles, some bites crispy, some chewy, topped with scallops, shrimp, chicken and vegetables, mixed with a rice wine sauce. I found both the seafood and the sauce (or lack thereof) bland. -- General Gao's Chicken: Bite size pieces, impressively crisp, though slightly dry, tossed in a reddish sauce with a little more heat and a little less sweet than most. -- Shrimp and Lobster Sauce: Nice rendition, sauce thin but not watery, and certainly not gloppy, with gentle pork crumbles, good black bean flavor and whole black beans in there too. -- Pork Fried Rice: Very fresh preparation with decent color, hints of old time flavor, and generous allotments of pork nuggets, bean sprouts, onion, and egg. One of the better ones out there. More of a good meal than a great one, but still good enough to cling onto the 4.

I've seen quite a lot of good reviews for this place, so decided to try it out. The amount of food…read morewe got is good and there was plenty for dinner and for leftovers next day. My boyfriend liked the food, but I'm not really a fan. We got pork lo mein, sweet and sour chicken, bone-in ribs and Thai chicken teriyaki. We called to place a takeout order and went by the menu on their website. I wish there were photos or better descriptions for all dishes. Sweet & Sour Chicken is one of my favorite dishes and it is a main dish (not an appetizer), but this was served as chicken fingers with sauce on the side. While I liked the flavor of chicken fingers and the chicken wasn't dry, I am disappointed that it is the same as ordering chicken fingers appetizer, just paying more. Thai Chicken Teriyaki (chicken skewers) is another favorite of mine. While this was ok, I wouldn't get it again. The chicken was cooked right and wasn't dry, but I didn't get much flavor besides something acidic (like vinegar based marinade). It didn't taste bad, but somewhat bland. It came with peanut sauce, which was completely frozen and also looked very unappetizing, so I didn't even try it. Pork lo mein and Bone-in ribs were not for me at all. They both had weird taste/aftertaste, so I only tried them and can't comment much. My boyfriend seemed to like both ok.

But they still have their minds and are able to walk in and out on their own so I'll be taking them here for as long as they want. My dad always gets moo goo gai pan and mom usually gets shrimp with broccoli which she did today. I have the crispy Long Island duck, mom and dad, both like that too with the hoisin sauce on the side, and we also got some veggie low mein for the table. This is the only place that we come for a family outing. Also, when we often will have 10 to 14 people. We are a very fussy group not easily pleased. But Sue Chang is always great.

Keeping it simple I ordered chix chop suey and pineapple fried rice. Order a non standard rice typically means your getting freshly made fried rice versus the pork fried rice which was made prior to the Vietnam conflict. Tonight I was presently surprised. The rice was light and fluffy,freshly made with nice pieces of pineapple. The chop suey was filled with fresh vegetables that weren't soggy and had a crisp finish. The chicken was in edible size pieces and reasonably tender. I was pleased and will return !!

It's so bad I want to return it. If I didn't think it would be a fight I'd return the meal. Instead I may have to start hopping into the car and heading to one of the other local places for lunch.
