  The restaurant that doesn't amount to much in appearance completely shocked me in it's deliciousness. There's a very good reason that this restaurant wins the loyalty of locals and tourists alike - because the chef here knows how to make wonders from simple ingredients.
  
  We ordered a lamb stew, tofu, stir fried green leafy vegetable, tiger shrimp, and the fried rice. Enjoy a complimentary cup of red tea and chow down on some really well cooked and seasoned dishes. We really appreciated the richness in flavor distinct to each dish while avoiding the trap of oversalting. Despite the $1.50/bowl rice and smaller portions sizes, the friendliness of the waitresses and awesomeness of the food more than made my experience excellence.

  An average Chinese restaurant, great if you want something quick and to satisfy a craving.
  
  The duck is average, not too fresh. Would not order again.
  The wontons are the smaller ones, more of a homemade taste. Not bad
  The curry brisket was tasty with the potatoes soaking up the flavours and the meat was tender.
  
  Likely will return. There is a large selection.

  My first food stop in Chinatown. It was near empty at the time I came, which was towards the end of lunch.
  
  The interior is pretty drab, could use some remodeling.
  
  The food was good but the combo of myself misreading the menu and a translation barrier between myself and my server resulted in me getting two soups (a Wonton Noodle Soup and a Dumpling Soup) instead of one soup and an order of dumplings. Two soups is too much!!
  
  Got Egg Rolls too that were decent.
  
  I think if I tried different items on the menu I'd have a more enjoyable experience.

  Many restaurants open at dinner time & we were so happy to find a restaurant opened.  It was clean & not busy, the few patrons were Chinese.  Huge menu & lots of daily specials.  I chose a spicy pork & eggplant, I told the waitress that I wanted it spicy and she suggested getting vegetables, and I said but it said plans and she said it isn't that much eggplant. I asked for brown rice and she said two dollars extra for fried rice so I stuck with steamed white rice. My husband ordered the General Taos chicken not spicy, the waitress said it was spicy but he ordered it anyway.  Our lunch came out steamy hot in less than five minutes.  First we got soup  with two pieces of potato and a piece of carrot,  it was very bland.  My Eggplant pretty tasteless, the pork was tasty but I had five pieces the size of matchsticks. The bill was $20 with tax and tip.

  Bathrooms and prep kitchen doesn't have soap. The only thing they had to use were water filled conditioner and body wash bottles. I refused to eat there and left after I had used the bathroom and saw this. Not clean!
