Decent Chinese food, relatively fast delivery. They're competent on the phone and I like that they have small sizes so you don't end up with a gross amount of leftovers. Sometimes they forget the chopsticks and we only got one fortune cookie.
Ordered delivery from them to my hotel and really liked it.
Delivery was fast, food was fresh and hot.
I ordered the bean curd coup, curry chicken and steamed pork dumplings. Everything was great, especially those dumplings. They were so good.
I was able to order online which was awesome too. Definitely a good spot!
This is a good chinese restaurant in the neighborhood that you can trust. Its not amazing, and it can be a little uneven, but the food will always be at least ok. I went there for the lobster special, which was pretty good (although a bit messy). The crystal shrimp dumplings were good as well, and the lo mein was decent. The waiter was very helpful. Good neighborhood place.
Good service with average quality food. Food wise I can find better and cheaper options in chine town, but service is much better here. Recommend the spicy stew fish (a classic Sichuan dish. The fish is fresh and sweet. They nailed the spicy little sweet sauce !)
3.5 is about right.
Every once in a while, I get a craving for Hot and Sour soup, and my standards are pretty high for it. …Are they? I want them to be authentic. Screw it. They're not that high. I just don't want some bastardized-cut-the-corners-because-the-Americans-can't-tell version.
And I'm pickier because my grandpa taught me how to make it, and I have to say, I make it pretty darn awesome. But it's involved. So when winter rolls around, and I'm too lazy, I look for some good hot and sour soup – I'm even willing to pay premium for a good giant bowl. And save for the mushrooms that are the wrong types, it's actually not bad here, not not expensive at all. I give it a four.
Why the low score? For all my talk about hot and sour soup, the dan dan noodles I ordered with them were pretty…bland and disappointing. Like if I didn't order them, I couldn't have guessed what they were supposed to be.
Been coming in here for a few weeks now. The food is very good and the staff is friendly and attentive. The restaurant is clean. I usually order a beef with broccoli. The rest of my group tries many different things and seem to always be happy. The place offered lunch and dinner specials. Prices are good for the area.
I enjoy coming here and I think you should try the place if you haven't already. I am a very critical reviewer and think most people will vote this place 5 stars, but for me I always expect more. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Came here for lunch with a friend, that is allergic to nuts.
Notes:
1. They don't state on their menu which items have nuts – my friend almost choked.
2. The waiter did not clearly state how spicy our items would be. I understand it's Sichuan, but it was too spicy for a spicy lover like me!
3. Waters were always refilled to the brim.
4. Our lunch portion did not fill us up like other Chinese restaurants
5. I felt this place was really Americanized.
6. The egg roll was usually huge with less cabbage than a traditional egg roll.
7. I felt like I was in a PF Changs.
I won't be coming back. Sticking to China town for Chinese food – their other location in St Marks was better.
It might be the "best chinesefood in the west village" but – don't let that fool you. This isn't particularly *good* chinese food. It's not even *good* American-style chinese food. It's edible. It's fast. It didn't make anyone sick. Food was served prompt and hot. That's about all the good I can say.
We ordered a few things for the table
Dan-Dan noodles – a little more soy-saucy and less peanuty than others I've had
scallion pancake – crispy and very thin
soup dumplings – a little bland, and barely any soup in the dumps.
Entrees – family style
kung pao chicken
pork lo mein
salt and pepper squid
garlic pork green beans
beef with broccoli
Again – everything was edible. There were hints of good – salt & pepper squid / green beans come to mind. Everything else was just okay. — Even the wine (pinot noir / malbec) was just okay. Nothing was mind blowing.
If you order a lot and pay in cash, you may just get 1 entree for free. That's what our waiter was trying to get us to do, but for this party, credit just was easier. You get fortune cookies at the end too.
