Customer Reviews
Hidden gem for Northern Chinese food. The soup we ordered had lots of veggies and tofu. The sweet and sour is different from what you get with American Chinese food. It's is crispy and the sauce is lighter with a vingery tang. The glass cold noodle dish is so good and refreshing. It's in a peanut sauce that is not sweet and works with the noodles.
Impressive Northeastern Chinese cuisine. Arguably the top one in this style I have had in US. Highly recommended: Guobaorou, Tiger veg, Sauerkraut, or just ask their friendly attendants for recommendation!
We came here as four people and ordered about seven dishes. Overall the flavors were good, portions very big, and some dishes stood out. • Sliced beef tenders and pork w. spicy sauce (夫妻肺片): The best dish of the night — seasoning was excellent, portion generous for an appetizer. We even packed one to go. • Shreded potato, the chilly one (尖椒土豆丝): Actually tasted more like sweet-and-sour potato, not really “chilly.” Flavor was fine, just different from the name. • Small combination (小拼盘): Pork head, beef, and Harbin dried sausage. All cured meats, flavorful but quite salty. • Ganbian string beans (干扁四季豆): Traditional and authentic, but a bit salty. • Sweet and sour sliced pork, the vinegar flavor (老式锅包肉): Very crispy, big slices, vinegar taste made it refreshing. Definitely recommend this v
This dish has a weird taste and texture - the weird taste is not because of the sauce, but because of the quality of the ingredient. The texture as well. I can’t help spitting it out and finally I give up. The taste ruins my lunch and feeling sick now. The quality control of this restaurant is terrible; sometimes it tastes good, sometimes it is awful. I have been there dine in and take out couple times. In general, the dining has better quality; but the take out is terrible (it makes me wonder whether they keep using lower quality ingredients for take out on purpose. And! It should not have green onions…
Came here on a whim on New Year’s Day & we are so glad we did! We wanted authentic Chinese & this place delivered. I got the sesame chicken & my boyfriend got the hot & spicy chicken, as well as beef potstickers. We shared each others plates & everything was amazing! Extremely fresh, flavorful, and food was served maybe within 10 mins of ordering! Inside was clean, cozy, and we felt welcomed. Thank you :-) we will come back!
