Hits every time! You can't go wrong here. Family style portions that are always super fresh when they arrive. Boiled Beef Flank W/ Sze Chuan Sauce 水煮牛 is our favorite dish with an excellent blend of tender beef with great veggies and broth that covers all the flavors. Great over rice and so nourishing. Chef Tonys Favorite Chicken 三椒鸡 has replaced General Tsos for us. They are different but Chef Tonys Favorite Chicken 三椒鸡 has a nice balance of the sweetness of Tsos with a crunchy texture and a soft spiciness. Eggplants W/ Spicy Garlic Sauce 鱼香茄子 to round out the veggies and it's also a great blend of spice with a slight sweetness that helps the meal remain balanced. Though you could literally pick anything on the menu and it will be great.

The <<taggedItemId=7792049306>>Boiled Beef Flank W/ Sze Chuan Sauced<</taggedItemId>> is not to be missed! Balanced flavors and you can customize the heat level. It is a huge portion of beef and veggies in a delicious sauce/broth. <<taggedItemId=7792040598>>Chef Tonys Favorite Chicken <</taggedItemId>> has replaced our orders of Tsos and Sesame. It's got a great heat and sweet quality about that makes you want to keep eating and eating! The Cucumber W/ Peanuts In Chili Sauce 凉拌辣黄瓜花生 was so fresh and the flavors are so good. It's a nice way to ad crunch and freshen the meal. Honestly we've never had a bad dish from here and come back time and time again

Well I ordered the beef Lo Mein (Ln) 炒面（宵夜）and I guess they ran out because I received beef fried rice instead. I will not complain about this because the fried rice was delicious, reminiscent of the classic Chinese takeout from the 90s! I also ordered Wonton Soup (6 Pcs) (Ln) 馄饨汤（宵夜）this too was amazing and fresh. 10/10, would order from here again. And decent portions!
