This was our second time here and we have been delighted both times. The food actually tastes like it's supposed to, no more sugar added. The garlic sauce is not sweet! Yay!! The pieces of chicken are moist and tender and good quality. Highly recommend the sesame balls. They are what sesame balls are supposed to taste like with a crisp exterior, not too doughy, and a tasty red bean paste that isn't overly sweet. This is our new go-to for Chinese food.

These guys are the best local Chinese. Highly recommend the sesame balls for a lightly sweet treat. The pork is absolutely amazing.

Missed the mark all over. Orange Chicken and Sesame chicken were dry (jerky texture) and yet over-breaded and mushy. The sesame shrimp was 70% breading. We thought we would try something new, but we won't order again.

Long time local favorite. Quality was always good. Tonight I ordered Sweet & Sour Pork and Orange Chicken and couldn't tell the difference between the two. No sweet & sour sauce on the side. Looked like the Orange Chicken had some sort of sauce poured on top - without flavor.
