"In response to the owner's comments, I'd like to clarify that we truly felt the dishes we tried lacked flavor. Perhaps we missed something, but we didn't feel we were given the benefit of the doubt. We ordered several items, and despite dining with friends, none of the dishes we tried appealed to us. It seemed there was no effort to resolve our dissatisfaction or acknowledge that something might be off with our meal. **Further Update:** I returned with some friends and decided to try a few more dishes. The green beans stood out because they were absolutely delicious. We also ordered the special of the day, which was ribs served with snow peas imported from Harbin—these were unlike anything available locally. Additionally, we had a clear soup with tofu and meatballs, and all three of these dishes were excellent and bursting with flavor. However, we also ordered the Sichuan pepper pork belly, which was universally disliked among our group. Unfortunately, it lacked any real taste, despite its appealing presentation. When we requested to have that dish removed from the bill, the manager refused. This experience was disappointing, especially since I don’t visit often. Given this, I don't think I'll be returning or recommending this place to others, as it's frustrating to be treated so stingily."

Great food. The service was okay. Divided wall with a dance performance room that was very loud and even shook our table.

The chicken spikes were very fibrous and felt again. The service was so fast, it was hard to believe that the chicken was cooked to order

That was a random find. We had the house particularly sweet and sour pork. It was so light and so good. We also had the mouth enjoying soup with the rice noodles. It was delicious. View menu

This was an accidental find. We had the house specially sweet and sour pork. It was so light and so good. We also had the mouth tingling soup with the rice noodles. It was delicious.

The food was fantastic! I would definitely return next time I'm in the area just for the famous sweet and sour pork. The service was good, the ambiance was pleasant, and the portion sizes were generous. Overall, it's a winner!

The food here was incredible. We were craving authentic, not run of the mill Chinese food and that's certainly what we got! Had their version of house-made sweet and sour pork, delicious!! Huge, family-style portion, but we ate it all. Also had the tofudish on the main course menu which was full of flavor and out of this world, and normally I'm not a huge tofu fan. This may haveconverted me. Oh! And try the chicken with chili sauce for an appetizer. I almost ordered a second plate of it. It's servedcold, which sounds weird, but wow, did it work! This place is fairly new, open since August, but I hope their around for a longtime! We can't wait to go back and try other things on the great look... View menu

UPDATE2 in response to owner: We each took a bite and agreed the dish was devoid of flavor. Maybe ours was somehow missing something? But you didn 't give us the benefit of the doubt here. We did order several other dishes, and I have been herebefore with friends as well. Of all the dishes we ordered, one didn 't work for us and you made no attempt to work with us, orbelieve that maybe something was wrong with the preparation of our plate. UPDATE: Came back with the 'rents and ordered a fewmore dishes. The string beans again because they were so good, and the special on the board which was ribs with the snow peasimported from Harbin, which are completely different than what you can buy here....
