"Overall: I love their menu at least all the things I have tried so far they have fantastic vegetable options that actually are delicious. Their ice cream is so amazingly creamy and the flavors are blend well if you like multiple flavors to have two different flavor scoops like my sister and I do. Best dishes in my humble opinion: I love their shu mai, sesame chicken, healthy jumbo shrimp with vegetables and their mei fun is the best of any place I have ever gotten taken out from. We order a lot especially while we were in the process of moving. They are friendly nice, clean, polite, and deliver and their delivery people are good and polite. Plus the food is has been fairly good quality the many days we have order Other positive things: For Disabled or low mobility people they have delivery that works out fine and I don't drive so that is good for me as I can't walk more than a few feet and use a wheelchair/ walker due to mobility issue from a past injury. One day I hope to be able to go there in person and see the ambience up close as I used to go to a diner with my family as a child and it looks so much like it (at least from the street when I have passed when I did have a ride into Ridgewood a few times in the past. Vegetarian options: They have tofu, vegetable only options and they have dishes that are vegetarian There's a nice mix for vegetarian or meat eaters/ fish eaters because their food is good with or without fish or seafood or chicken, and their tofu was nice so if going with friends or family who are meat eaters or vegetarian there is a good list of options Dietary restrictions: I can't eat eggs they always leave them out I also can't eat much meat or poultry and no red meat due to health issues and I never had an issue with it all the times we order. Also my food is never too spicy which is good as I have digestive system issues that are very delicate, the food is not suffering from a few adjustments Kid-friendliness: They have kid favorites like grilled cheese"

"I have loved this place for many years and thought of the time I wrote a review. This Chinese restaurant has some of the most authentic, top quality Chinese food in the area. Our family lived in China for a year back in 1996 and the cooking techniques remind me more than any other Chinese restaurant in the area of food in us able to get in China. For example, Chinese Pea Shoots (Dou Miao), delicately fried with garlic, are often available for request and the Sautéed Shanghai Greens and Sautéed String Beans are also excellent. One thing we often miss is the vegetables in completely American restaurants... we can get what we long, skillfully cooked, in Formosa Taipei. Another dish I can never get enough is the Ko-Cha Dish, a magical combination of pork, squid, dried tofu with vegetables and a spicy black bean sauce... I feel I'm here in China with this one. I enjoy many of the appetizers as well as the delicate different Steamed Dumplings, pork naturally a favorite, but I also enjoy a lot the shrimps and vegetarians, the key here is that the tilting furs are not excessively thick, as is often the case in some restaurants here. Also the salt and pepper chicken is not to be missed; spicy and salty, but not saucy. I saved the best Spicy Noodles in Soup with Beef Sirloin. This court is unbelievable. You have to slow the meat for many, many hours to tender it and make a good soup stock; his just incredible. I never had his same place. Most restaurants just seem to shave some beef in the soup and cook it a little. If you have ever made shares and/or stew, you will know that this does not give you a satisfying broth. These are just examples. I still find new things that I have a lot of fun on the menu. I strongly recommend to get at least something from the authentic traditional Chinese section."
