This place was highly recommended by my friend after I told him about terrible experience with other Chinese outlets near by. Today I found time to try it and I was not disappointed. Lady at the counter was extremely pleasant. I am on keto diet. She told me that she can prepare any dish with no sugar and no corn starch. I was surprised that they could do that. I ordered four seasons chef specialty with no sugar/corn starch and it was really delicious. They have a long menu and now around hundred of Chinese dishes are with in my reach on keto diet.
