"One of the classics has seen a prolonged slump, but word on the street (and the sign out front) is that they 've changed management. Some say they 're back to their old excellence; I had to see for myself (and for anyone who cares what I think). Scallion Pancake: Excellent. Near-elite to elite. Light but thick, with nice moist chewiness in addition to the crispy. Thicker-than-usual and darker-than-usual ginger sauce. BBQ Ribs: Well above average but neither fresh nor elite. Good glaze. Nice char. Meat moist in some spots, disappointingly dry in other spots. Most of the flavor came from the classic bright red glaze. Note: their signature Chinatown Ribs, which put them on the map decades ago, are no longer on the menu. Pork Fried Rice (on a combo plate): Above average. Not too light but not nearly dark enough to claim old school Chinese excellence. The pork nuggets were fresh, sizable, and moist. Solid though. Sweet and Sour Chicken (on a combo): Average. Not a good meat-to-batter ratio. Paler color than most. Red sauce mostly sweet. Five fingers, two pineapple chunks, zero cherries. Egg Roll: Average to slightly below. Slightly smaller than most. Dry inside and out. Grassy celery (and I like celery as well as cabbage, so not a stylistic issue). Keep it away from the pupu flame to prevent forest fires. Shrimp w/Lobster Sauce: Above average. Good consistency, but bland other than some very light black bean flavor. Slightly chalky. Not salty (don 't want a lot but want a little), not greasy (ditto), not sweet (don 't want any). Shrimp were average: very tender, no snap. Vegetable Lo Mein: Above average. Vegetables bright, fresh and perfectly cooked. Light but adequate sauce. Good clean flavor. Good mouthfeel. Yu Hsiang Beef: Looked great, great tenderness, much better than most Chinese restaurant beef, but had a very foul odor and flavor seemingly from a beef handling issue and not a Chinese ingredient issue, so we sent it back (both we and they were polite about it). This had great promise, so I 'd try it again (and if same odor I 'll chalk it up to an ingredient that 's supposed to be that way). Service: Excellent. Atmosphere: Minimalistic. They 've specialized in old school Chinese for years, but don 't have the old-time tiki decor similar to Tahiti in Dedham or Cathay Pacific in Quincy. Approach: While they still serve the old school appetizers and classics like egg foo yong and shrimp in lobster sauce, my gut tells me the best things here are the healthier entrees, such as the Yu Hsiang Beef and anything with green vegetables. I 'll probably check out more of those next time. Regarding the recent nosedive in quality but claims of a more recent resurgence, I say this: One man 's just because the pendulum hasn 't swung all the way back doesn 't mean it 's not swinging back is another man 's just because the pendulum is swinging back doesn 't mean it 's swung all the way back. Halfway back is a glass half full. Celebrate. Or not. It 's up to you. Me? I 'm probably going back for more evidence. They were too good and have too much promise to shrug the comeback off, even if it hasn 't fully proven itself yet."

"I went there for the dim sum. Not impressed. The wrappers used are way too thick, resulting in a gelatinous mush in your mouth. When picked up with chopsticks, the filling of some of the dim sum dropped out of the wrapping .I was looking forward to some shumai and ordered two baskets right off the cuff. Big mistake. I received these big chunky balls of stiff filling...um ok... maybe the taste will be good...nope. Sorry to say, they were dreadful. I took one bite, chewed, and inconspicuously spit it into my napkin. It felt weird when we asked for the bill and the waiter came over to take the plates away, noticed that one piece of shumai had been removed from the basket of four and there remained also another untouched basket of shumai which would be sent to the trash bin.Maybe other items are totally awesome. However, I get the sense that the ingredients used are not top tier, and the preparation of the items is somewhat sloppy. A real bummer because they are located only a few blocks away.The sweet sesame balls were good."

"No way, buy the ticket take the ride. First and last time. Pot stickers were OK. Chow mein bad, house chicken bad, some meat thing we had bad. Hot Sour soup good. Service nothing special or memorable. Delivery seems to be the thing here. Basically only been here this one time. If your house chicken is blah then try something dont just leave it that way. Delivery delivery delivery"

"I ordered delivery, so I can’t comment on the atmosphere or anything like that. However, I was very pleased with the Hunan dish I chose; the beef was tender, and the shrimp and vegetables were cooked perfectly in a sauce that had just the right level of spice (I requested medium heat). My granddaughter also approved of the lo mein. The only reason I didn't give a full 5 stars is because of the spring rolls. While they were nice and crispy on the outside, the inside was quite mushy. I might try the egg rolls next time instead. Overall, it was a great experience, and I definitely plan to order from this restaurant again."

"Don't be fooled by the appearance of this place. I came here for the first time the other day and kinda was taken aback by how it looked a little run down. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how their menu offered soooo many options. It was almost overwhelming because there were so many different entrees to choose from. If you're Korean, they also have a Korean menu too. Food was excellent! Wow we were all pleasantly surprised by how everything we ate was tasty. My favorite was probably their eggplant dish with a garlicky sauce. Omg I kept dreaming about that when I got home. The owners are really sweet people and they will try their best to accommodate to your interests. I highly recommend this Chinese restaurant in town. It is probably my favorite Chinese restaurant in all of C-U."

"This is a fantastic Asian restaurant in Westminster, MD. Asian Sakae is tucked away in a strip mall across from Westminster Mall, and it's truly a gem. We dined there on Tuesday and enjoyed a wonderful meal. We sampled a variety of dishes from their extensive menu. My wife ordered a delicious martini and a sushi ball, while my kids had fried somen and maki. I opted for the Thai drunken noodles, which were exceptional—fragrant and savory. The service was attentive, and while the decor could use a refresh, it remains clean and inviting. We can't wait to return!"

"I like large fried rice with pork and shrimp. I never feel like it 's enough so I always ask for $5 more pork AND $5 more shrimp. I have placed this exact order at MANY Chinese restaurants from the Bronx to Brooklyn and they always tell me that it 's so much that they actually have to put it in a short alluminum pan. This place gave it to me in the regular large box ? she put the bag on the counter and I felt like I was obligated to follow through with the order so I paid the $30.50 but I was walking to the door and everything was saying NO DEAL . I apologized a few times and asked for a refund. (Never made it out the door, definitely didn 't touch the food or even box. Just plastic bag) she was LIVID snatched the bag tossed the money on the counter. I didn 't think that was necessary but I understood her frustration. This spot just isn 't for me. Plus $30 and no free Beverage."

"The food at this restaurant was tasty, but beware if you choose to do a pick-up order and pay with a card. I was surprised to see that I had been charged for my food and the restaurant had automatically added a $3.10 tip without my consent. I had intended to pick up my order to avoid tipping a driver, so this was disappointing. While $3 may not seem like much, it's the principle of the matter that bothers me. I didn't agree to pay that extra amount. In the future, I recommend checking your receipts carefully to avoid any unexpected charges. Overall, the food was good but be cautious when reviewing your payment details."

"Best pizza and tacos in New Jersey! José, the manager, recommended the fish tacos, but I was craving beef. He offered the fish tacos at a discount, so I decided to give them a try. The pizza was freshly made, with a delicious crust seasoned with garlic and pepper. They serve Coca-Cola in glass bottles, which takes me back to the good old days in Newark, NJ, sitting in a cozy chair. It's definitely worth trying the tacos, pizza, and a glass bottle of Coke. Unfortunately, we didn’t order dessert because they were sold out of cheesecake, but we plan to return next week to get the same order plus the cheesecake if it's available."
"The service was a bit slow but that’s totally to be expected all with in a matter of ten min two separate tables came in two older ladies with orders to go(that were quite RUDE I might add, giving the poor girl a very tough time) and four door dashers two with large orders all came In at once... you could tell the girl was a bit overwhelmed even the door dashers were making comments, but she held her composure and got everybody their orders even in those overwhelming circumstances... I know they are a restaurant and that’s to be expected but on a Monday it’s hard to find Chinese restaurants open so I thought she handled everyone very well, even with rude comments being thrown at her. My son and I loved our food and it came out hot and good proportions. We definitely will be going back!"

"My husband and I were in town for a conference and hit this place up on a whim. We had, I’m not kidding, the best meal either of us ever had in this restaurant. There was no cell service inside to leave a review but here I am like 6 months later dreaming of this place. We have had a lot of intentionally fancy expensive meals together and separately that did not leave us raving like this place. We planned our entire trip home around how to preserve our leftovers. I gave my mom a bite and she went absolutely feral trying to have more. I want to extend gratitude to my server who made sure our table was perfect and our needs were met in a way that even fine dining has abandoned after covid. She made us feel cared for and respected. Our meals were plated beautifully and were SO delicious. I honestly would make the trip just to eat here again, and I’m thinking about it when the weather gets nicer. Thank you for making our trip memorable."

"Initially, I was a bit hesitant because they were new to the area, but after ordering several times, I've found their food to be outstanding. They package everything really well and always remember to include utensils and other essentials. Now, I won't order from any other Chinese restaurant on DoorDash!"

"Decided to try their General Tso's Chicken based on a family recommendation. Ordered ahead. My order was ready. The owner was friendly and we spoke for a few minutes. Food tasted good my only disappointment is that the lunch 16 had fried rice instead of white rice when the website said that white rice was the default but other options are available. I also like that they have authentic hot mustard...you just have to ask for it!"

"The customer service at this restaurant is fantastic, but the food is quite disappointing. The General Tso's chicken reminded me exactly of a place that everyone disliked back when I lived in Boston. I genuinely hoped to enjoy this restaurant because the staff is so warm and welcoming, but unfortunately, the food just doesn't live up to expectations. I won't be coming back."
