Mediocre Chinese food. It's not bad but they use a lot of salt which ruins it a little. The seating can be tight. There is a downstairs for additional seating but it only opens when really busy. They forgot one of our items (tea) by accident. Service wasn't bad and wasn't great either.

Not a date night kind of place atmosphere wise, but the food was delicious and service attentive. The soft shell crab was amazing and the egg rolls spot on. They don't serve any alcohol, which I wish I'd have been aware before going. My partner loves a cold Tsingtao with his Chinese food!

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and I’ve never had a bad meal. Whenever I take people here I always recommend the duck noodle soup — it is a must!! Everything tastes so fresh and you can tell a lot of care goes into the food.
Hot and sour soup was barely reheated and lukewarm, egg rolls were not fried to order and were reheated so they were chewy. Dipping sauce for dumplings had no real flavor and the dumplings themselves were falling apart and greasy. This was at 8pm on a Saturday. Pretty disappointing considering this is Chinatown and we had an amazing lunch earlier that day at another restaurant that clearly just cared more about what they’re doing. Maybe they were having an off night?

First impression was urine smell noticed by wife since I was wearing a mask. Wife’s shrimp & pork wonton noodle was bland for broth. My fish tofu was the opposite with noticeable salt. It was good but greasy. Service could have been better despite cordial. Only 1 waitress. Business at a trickle for a Friday night. Half was take out. Will consider take out if next time. Bathroom appeared decent. Had electric hand dryer. While finishing my wife’s leftover wanton noodle takeout, I found what looks like a piece of tape pictured. Lastly, gone are their notoriety placards of old. Is that an omen? Better get busy with the feng shui.

Great little lunch place. We had the broccoli beef, Duck noodle soup with wonton dumplings, and a vegetable plate. Fantastic.

one of my favorite spots in chinatown. DO NOT SKIP THE CRAB RANGOON—they are the best i’ve ever had. lots of options for meat eaters, pescatarians, and vegetarians alike (: i got the fried bean curd with vegetables and it was sooo good…in a nice garlic and sesame sauce. prices very good for the portion sizes (they are HUGE!!)which is also great for sharing
