Willow Garden — Restaurant in Lebanon

The food was nothing amazing or unique, but we decided to try out Willow Garden because our usual Chinese restaurant of choice was closed. I ordered over the phone for a to-go order of just 2 items, the Mooshu pork with extra pancakes and Tofu & veggies, and it was ready in 15 minutes.
