Customer Reviews
I ordered, thru GrubHub. I ordered Hot and Sour Soup, Seaweed Salad, Stir-fried Jumbo Shrimp with fried rice; I was very disappointed. The hot and sour soup was not at all spicy. It had tofu, not much, that was mushy. And it did not have much flavor. The seaweed salad did not look like any seafood salad I've ever had and didn't have much flavor. The stir fried jumbo shrimp was not very good either; the shrimp was not very big unless you count all the breading and was kind of mushy. Which, I've never had any stir fry that had breaded meat, shrimp, etc. I did get the food quickly and the portions was good, but still way too pricey for the food I got!
The service is really nice but the food we got was not we went cuz it had a 4.4 star review n was really disappointing I got the beef lo main n the noodles taste like spaghetti noodles cooked way too long the beef needed a lil bit more spice n salt the egg rolls were ok.
Food was very affordable ($37 before tip for 2 appetizers and 2 entrees with good portions). No complaints about the Mapo Tofu. The beef pho broth tasted nice, however the noodles were a little off and also they had some really off brand hot sauce that tasted a little peculiar. The spring rolls were a 4 count which was incredibly cheap, the peanut sauce was really good and the roll itself tasted good, but the rice paper was very thin and didn't keep things together as nice as other spring rolls I've tried do. The eggdrop soup was great, again no complaints. The by far worst item I tried was the Szechuan Chicken. Trust me when I say do not get it. If you've ever had good Szechuan chicken, this one will disappoint you beyond words. It's very dry, like I mean I felt like I ate a mouth full of
Good spot. Simple. Huge menu. Good chili oil. Mapo tofu: 8/10 Eggplant potato and pepper: 7/10 Scallion pancake: 7/10
