If I could give zero stars, I would. We went through town and saw the great reviews, but don't be fooled. The house fried rice lacked flavor and tasted like pre-packaged rice. The potstickers had very thick dough, and the meat was tough and tasted old. The waiter even refused to let me order the soup because I only wanted one serving. The only somewhat decent dish was the crab rangoon. Honestly, I would have been happier dining at Panda Express.

Delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere make this classic Chinese restaurant a rare find. The service is outstanding as well.

I absolutely loved the sweet and sour pork. The cashew chicken was also excellent!
