“ Food: American-style Chinese food. My faves (I'm Asian born in US) are spicy string beans with beef. Moo Shu vegetable. Nutty chicken. Singapore rice noodle. Hubby's faves (he's Caucasian) General Tso's shrimp. Spicy string beans w/ beef. Crab rangoons. Sometimes their Thai chow fun is , sometimes it's a bit of a miss. If you are looking for authentic Chinese food, this is not it. But for American-Chinese, they are very good and usually very consistent, which is key. You know what you'll get. And they have decent sushi, too. Super friendly family owned place. The mom is awesome! To all those lower star ratings, likely they were hoping for "real" Chinese food. ”
