The Hot and Sour Soup and Wonton Soup bring warmth and depth, each offering a well-balanced profile of flavor that signals the kitchen’s commitment to doing the basics right.
The main courses deliver generously in both portion and variety. The General Tso’s Chicken, a standout, is perfectly crisp with just the right punch of sweet heat, while the Sesame Chicken leans into sweetness, coated in a glossy, nutty glaze that fans of comfort food will love. Beef with Broccoli and Pepper Steak with Onion offer a hearty, savory profile, with beef cooked to tender consistency, paired with vibrant vegetables still holding a snap.

The fried rice and lo mein sections are equally strong. The House Special Fried Rice and Combination Lo Mein pack meat, vegetables, and savory soy-infused carbs into every bite, perfect as standalone meals or sides to share.
