This is our spot for Shezwan style Chinese food. In fact, we drive from China Town - International District when we have a hankering for amazing Chinese food.
There is a parking lot but the restaurant is next to a busy Mexican restaurant and barber shop so parking can get tight. Most people are there for take-out, so if you're there for the same reason, you'll be fine. Just make sure you look before you pull out because parking is narrow and marked awkwardly.
The service can be slow since there is usually one person playing the role of hostess and waitress. There is usually a line of people waiting for their take-out order, but there is more than ample seating available because most orders are for take-out. They now have elevator music playing when you dine-in. They have a mounted TV on, but it's been turned on (1) time that I've seen, and it was for the Super Bowl.
They serve water and hot tea with every meal. And the jasmine tea they serve is a classic. Make sure you ask for chopsticks if you use them. They will default to giving you a fork unless otherwise requested, whether you're asian or not.
Food comes out hot and fresh. You do have to order rice separately, but that's now the standard at most asian restaurants. The portions are on the smaller side, but dishes are about $13/per order so it's fine to order a few dishes for 2-people to have some leftovers.
Midas 5-stars for the dependable hot food and always having...
Read moreBeen coming for years, ordering the same family meal A for three and getting almond fried chicken, this time I get home to I guess what they’re calling almond stir fry, with maybe tiny tid bits of chicken, quite the soggy mess. I politely called and explained this has never happened before expecting g they would offer to fix it, replace it at the cost of my driving back. I really need to start checking my orders not that it would have mattered she was very cold, I come in atleast once a month for twenty years now, off and on if course. She was of course disinterested in rectifying in anyway and it was clearly more important to her to lose my faith In providing a satisfying service to the customer, and as such, I after seeing the decline in portions and the last two times being very let down by my experience, I think we’re calling it. Sad what happens when family business is passed down to new owners that really do t care to retain their customers trust and respect, I hope it’s worth it and not a wi Dee why the place is always empty these days very sad. I remember it being a thriving place...
Read moreOut of all the Chinese restaurants I have been across the nation, this one is by far the worst. Beef and broccoli - the meat was rubber and the broccoli was not cooked. Not sure if I would it call it it’s actual name. General Tso Chicken - huge balls of chicken in sweet sauce?? I didn’t know I was eating spaghetti without noodles. BBQ pork served cold? I could’ve gone to the Asian store and warmed it up at home. I majorly try to choose to support local and sought to try this place, but boy was I disappointed with this choice. To top it all off, as we finished paying we always like to leave cash tips because as someone who use to work in the food service industry I know how much it sucks to get taxed on tips. While reaching for the cash the bob haired older gal immediately disrespected us about not leaving a card tip. When we said we were going to leave cash she walked away rolling her eyes continuing to say “no tip no tip”. Lady be glad we left something after your rudeness and disrespect. Maybe use the cash to buy better seasonings for your food. Needless to say, I will not be going...
