Late-night spot in Chinatown with a lively atmosphere and lots of people even on weekdays. Parking validation was a big plus. The food was overall average, but the wonton noodle soup was good — flavorful broth and very bouncy shrimp wontons. The oxtail hot pot was also tender and great with rice. Prices are reasonable, good for casual late-night eats, but probably not a place I’d go out of my way for.

Absolutely delicious! Food was seasoned so well. Stopped in on a Saturday night around 8:00, party of 3. We were seated quickly. The restaurant was clean and waiter was friendly. I don’t eat meat. I ordered the general Tso chicken plate and replaced the chicken with the fried tofu. Ordered a side of green beans. SO DELICIOUS!!! Everything was so flavorful. My friends ordered the three meat with fried rice and general T’so plate. Prices are very reasonable for the large portions. $15.60 was the price (tax included) for one plate of meat and rice The restroom was clean. It’s in an awkward spot. Behind the cashier just before you get to the kitchen. There are no paper towels only a hand dryer. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our meals and definitely recommend.
