  1. The original plan was Hunan Kitchen but my family decided to visit this restaurant given some unique specials and well worth it! This is Northeast Chinese food.
    Opened in 2011, surprised to see so little reviews.
    Waitress understands English.

    Definitely order:
    1) Dongbei style pasta (~$10) Similar to other mung bean cold noodle dish but also has shredded pork.
    2) Cumin Flounder ($17.99)
    3) Homestyle Beef tendon – if you like the texture, served with minced meat in a delicious gravy sauce great with rice.

    Skip:
    Fish in Hot Chili Oil ($17.99) – not so spicy, better order this at a Sichuan place.
    Mongolian Lamb ($24.99), not served as a rack and was a little dry/overcooked.

    Veggie dishes well portioned at ~$10

  2. To make it clear, this is not a Chinese Restaurant; instead this is a Mongolian Restaurant that seriously serves amazing food!!!

    I came here last night and my experience was absolutely impressive. With a husband and wife runned business; this small humble looking restaurant can seriously bat home-runs when it comes to their dishes!

    To be honest, all their dishes were delicious! Those that really stood out were their Mongolian Lamb Chops (sooooo good) and their Cumin Fried Flounder.
    Their lamb chops were not greasy what-so-ever and the home-made spices that they used to season it were perfect! As for their flounder, it was fried to a crisp but yet the meat was still tender and moist inside. Their Garlic Basil Eggplant is also another dish to note. It was not too oily and the infused flavor from the garlic and basil helped brighten the taste of the eggplant.

    This hole-in-the-wall restaurant might not seem like a contender to compete with all the other giant restaurants that are lined up along Main Street.  However, I'm sure that once people start to dine here, they will continue to keep on coming back as they realize that this restaurant can definitely pack a good punch!!!
