Caveat : I grew up in Seattle and was spoiled by the food in the restaurants in Seattle's Chinatown.
I ordered the steamed Broccoli with Tofu with brown sauce on the side, as well as steamed Pork Dumplings. ( I was told they only had Pork Dumplings ). The dumplings were excellent, though I wish they had other options such as vegetable.

It did take a long time but that was expected when we saw there were at least 20 people picking up with more coming in every minute. Our food was delicious as it always is. Chicken and broccoli, fried veggie rice, egg rolls and lomein. I also want to commend all the customers who waited patiently without complaining. ...
