If you are looking for a nice place to get your typical US "Chinese" food, this is a nice place to do that. It was a comfortable clean restaurant with very efficient and friendly servers and variety on the menu that should please pretty much everyone.
I was happy to get a good cup of hot and sour soup. That take-out staple has inexplicably disappeared from many menus. and some places that offer it just throw some chili oil in their egg drop. Nah. This was exactly what you expect with the white pepper heat, vinegar sour, tree ears, bamboo shoots, etc.
I also ordered their Vietnamese style spring rolls and Szechuan dumplings. The dumplings were what are normally called wontons, and they had made a nice soy and chili oil to serve them in, piping hot with some spinach wilted on top. I liked them.
2 disappointments -
First, the Vietnamese style spring rolls were a huge pile of still warm rice noodles so the split piece of boiled shrimp and a tiny strip of some sort of pork were lost in the pile of rice noodles and lettuce. If these are ordered infrequently, they probably should just drop them from the menu.
The other big disappointment was that Yelp still describes them as a dim sum restaurant, and old pictures would seem to indicate that, but they are not. There is a label on the menu for dim sum and it offers steamed pork buns or shumai, nothing else. I passed up my normal dim sum spot in Overland Park to come here so that was a bummer. I could have been eating stuffed eggplant, chicken feet and sesame balls down the road.
But thanks for the hot and sour soup! Hit the spot. read more
