"Just happened to be in the city last night to visit our friends and we all decided to get a Chinese takeout for dinner. We ordered a total of 6 items: 2 appetizers and 4 entrées. For the 2 appetizers, we got potstickers and vegetable egg rolls, which were both recommended by our friends. I really liked the potstickers which were super plump and stuffed with so much meat. The vegetable egg rolls were also nice, but I thought they were a little bit more on the saltier side, but they were not bad. And for the four entrées, we got: Twice cooked pork this entrée was really good. The portion was pretty generous, and it came with loads and loads of veggies cooked perfectly. I really enjoyed the char (or the fire blisters) on the cabbage. And I thought the pork belly added a nice umami to the entire dish, even though the pork could 've been more tender. And this dish had the right amount of spice in it and was not too spicy. So, I think everyone could enjoy this dish. Chicken with string beans this dish was just OK to me, because I thought that the green beans could 've been blistered or charred more to add more flavor depths. And I was expecting this dish to be a little bit more dry, but instead it was more saucy than I had expected, so that was a little unusual to me. But I thought the flavor was still nice, and I still really enjoyed it. Mongolian beef The Mongolian beef was probably my least favorite dish from what we ordered. I thought the flavor was nice, but what really threw me off was the consistency of the beef. I thought the beef was too soft, borderline mushy. I 'm really not sure what 's going on with this dish but my guess would be they used too much meat tenderizer? Vegetable fried rice OK, this vegetable fried rice really blew my mind. I was pleasantly surprised to find this vegetable fried rice to be extremely flavorful even though it had no meat whatsoever (although it did use eggs, just FYI). But the umami flavor that I got gave me a real serous meat vibe though maybe they used any non vegetable stock (such as chicken or beef bullion perhaps)? ....which I wouldn 't care about either way anyway, but I am curious. But I thought this fried rice was absolutely delicious. Overall, I would give this restaurant a general like , except for their mushy Mongolian beef. The price was more expensive than I was expecting from standard Chinese restaurants, but then again there has been so much inflation lately, and I 'm sure other restaurants have also increased their prices. So, as unfortunate as it is, I think it 's pretty expected now that all restaurants would be a bit more pricey nowadays. It was $100 give or take total."
