    The food here is delicious and if you're not sure what to order, ask the staff for suggestions! I recommend a little known dish - deep fried mantou (bun) with sweet condensed milk. Thank me later!

    The lightly fried buns with condensed milk is a great sweet starter or dessert! $6.95 for 7 or so pieces - so tasty!

    The best Hunan restaurant in the city. Don't miss the steamed egg custard topped with ground pork, soy sauce, and chili oil.

    Your Flushing brunch: a casserole of savory steamed egg custard slicked with soy sauce, chili oil, and nubs of ground pork. Gobble it up over rice.

    Get the Bean Curd in Scallion Sauce-creamy cubes of tofu are deposited on the plate, sluiced w. a salty scallion sauce, & garnished w. shredded carrots, to make an arresting orange-green color scheme.

    An intriguing dish to order here is “white chili with preserved beef”…the whitish, chewy, mysterious ingredient is dehydrated bean curd skin. - Inspector

    The food isn't bad but the waiters are slow and doesn't understand us even when we spoke chinese to them. It was kind of sad to watch and be the table that has to experience their lack of common sense
