Customer Reviews
I recently ordered the General Tao’s Crispy Tofu and the Singapore Style Rice Noodles . They were both absolutely delicious. I ordered carry out with delivery. I will definitely be back for more!
So this is a takeout only shop and I ordered via the touchscreen they have out front. The food came out pretty quick and was better than standard takeout fare but the portion was tiny compared to the price (even with the lunch special). As well I had to ask for someone three times at the order window to get my food which I could see just sitting on the counter. It isn't the worst choice for a "Chinese" fix but you could do better as well.
I'm a vegetarian, so I can't speak to the meat, but the last few dishes i've had here have been DELISH. Mapo tofu, moo shu tofu, ginger snow peas, lo mein, dan dan noods. Good stuff
I am reluctantly disappointed in the food. Based on the rating and its location, I thought the food would be bomb. It was not. I should have known it wouldn't be that great because I ordered it 17 min before it arrived😒 I ordered a spring roll, wonton soup, and general Tsos chicken. They arrived in marked containers making me feel as though they precooked the food and then sent it out.. The roll was burnt and the insides unrecognizable.😑 The soup was delicious, I'll give them that. Great flavor and texture, the wonton was done well. The chicken y'all.....I almost cried. It was dry as hell and had no sauce. Now, the sauce was not sweet or spicy, it had a more savory feel to it and was not the flavor I'm used to having eaten this dish for 20 years. I think some people would like it but they
Love the lunch box options , really lovely staff as well :) thank you!!
