Sara StorerJuly 4, 2012If you're looking for a non-spicy option, the Orange Chicken is a good way to go.
Prakash NairDecember 22, 2016Sichuan at its finest. Tan tan noodles and "anything" in flaming chili oil
Darwish GaniJune 29, 2013Surprised this place got the ratings it did. Not too impressed, seemed like cheaper Asian food to be honest
Justin TuretskyOctober 12, 2013Some things do not cater towards the American palette. Order carefully. Wasn't so into the flaming chili oil (beef). It was a a bowl of oil featuring some beef. Not that good.
Paul MartinSeptember 5, 2011If you like it HOT try the Chef's Special Explosive Chicken - very tasty
Lunches here are less expensive than dinners - the dumplings are yummy and the hot chili oil beef is super HOT
Get the Orange Beef, a.k.a. Waffle Beef. Absolute delicious.
Chee-Hyung YoonJune 23, 2015Food is good but not exceptional. Spicy but not too much. Maybe worth 30 minutes of wait max.
Stephanie WeiJanuary 14, 2017Did not like the tan tan mien - oddly bitter tasting. The chow mein was oily but good
