"This very old and popular restaurant changed property last year or so. I was not impressed by my first visit shortly after his renovation. On Sunday we went to a late lunch, but found that they added a breakfast menu. Each item on the menu is made fresh in the house. The Youtiao fried breadstick, a traditional Chinese breakfast food) was the best I tried in America. So was the Beef Noodle Soup. At $9.95 $5.95 weekday dinner) the beef noodle soup was a tad expensive, but it is worth for its taste and quality. We also ordered three types of dumplings. Your Mapo Tofu was a vegetarian version. Yeah, we ordered too much food for three people. The service was fast and friendly, but they need to bring out the empty dishes from the table above all, while bringing out new dishes."

Really good food at great prices, the black beans have to try chicken or the sweet and acidic ribs.

This was my first time here. Loved the food! Me and my friends ordered their lamb with scallions, general tso's chicken, and chicken fried rice. The place is decorated beautifully. Wonderful place overall. Service overall was not the best but we were not ignored. Overall they get 5 stars as the food really was done that well.

I'm here before the renovation, and I always loved her food. This hasn't changed since its renovation! Not only does the restaurant have a better ambience, but the waiters are polite, the food is still so cheap, and the portions are also incredible. The dumplings, rice and chicken are all. In any case, you come here if you are hungry like hell and want a nice big meal.

This place is a hole in the wall. We ordered the Bath chap, Grandma Braised Pork Belly, Cumin Toothpick Lamb and some kind of non- spicy fish and they were all delicious. My favorite dish was the Grandma Pork Belly, it was so tender and soft that it melted in your mouth. Super flavorful. This place is owned by a Chinese couple and they were super nice and friendly to us when we came. Highly recommend View menu

This place is a hidden gem. We ordered the Bath chap, Grandma Braised Pork Belly, Cumin Toothpick Lamb, and a non-spicy fish dish, and everything was delicious. My favorite was definitely the Grandma Pork Belly; it was so tender and soft that it practically melted in my mouth—extremely flavorful! The restaurant is run by a Chinese couple who were incredibly nice and friendly to us during our visit. I highly recommend this spot!

After I saw what they done with food they serve to public on Thanksgiving Day. I won't go there at all. It happened on Thanksgiving Day around 2pm. Operator Staff hanging cooked pork's head, duck etc. outside the back alley. We also saw they were using fly swatter slapping flies on the foods many times. In addition, they are using bare hand to touch those foods and sniffing them. I believe that customers have a right to know what are they truly eating. It was disturbing! View menu

Staff (and I) were watching a Chinese film on the televisiondrinking tea because it was slow. Will come back, the dumplings were tasty the broth they came it was flavorful spicy!

The food was excellent! Not an expert to say if it was authentic to its roots but definitely finger licking good. Will take away one star as they did not have two things that were on the menu wontons and kidneys. Also there was only one server we went at 7:30 for dinner). And the sequence of servings of the dishes was a bit haphazard and probably only dependent on how they were getting ready. No major complaints though as we kinda enjoyed that experience too. Will absolutely come back.
