I've eaten at this restaurant before and thought it was pretty good. Today I came to walnut to do some errands and went to eat at their place for lunch.

Wontons were pretty standard, slightly spicy. My favorite was the sweet and sour ribs—the breading was just thick enough for the hint of crunchy texture, and balance of sweet and sour was well done. The portion was reasonable for the price. Looking forward...
