During a recent lunch outing with my son, we sampled a variety of dishes including pork soup dumplings, wine chicken (served at room temperature), spicy beef noodle soup, and pan-fried chive buns. The standout dish of the day was definitely the spicy beef noodle soup, which delivered bold flavors and just the right amount of spice to tantalize the taste buds. The pork soup dumplings and pan-fried chive buns were also enjoyable, meeting our expectations in terms of taste and quality. In terms of service, we found the staff to be attentive and accommodating, ensuring that our needs were promptly met throughout the meal. While Shanghai Bun may not be for everyone, it delivers solid food and service that are in line with expectations. Overall, it's a decent option for a casual lunch, and I wouldn't hesitate to return in the future.

I used to frequent this restaurant before moving to PA. It used to be known simply as "West Lake."…read moreI am not sure when or why "Plum House" was added to the signage. For me, this is the go-to restaurant for Cantonese cuisine due to its variety, authenticity, and menu choices. Aside from weekend dim sum, my go-to dish was the chicken pan-fried noodles. I met up with my old colleagues a few weeks ago when I was in the area. I was glad to be able to visit this restaurant again; our original choice was closed on Tuesdays, like many others. Braised Eggplant & Chicken with Salted Fish ($25): A uniquely authentic Hong Kong dish that I rarely get to try. Delicious. I would definitely order it again. Lufa & Fresh Tofu Skin in Chicken Sauce ($22): The tofu skin was a bit tough to chew, but this is another dish that is not commonly available in standard Chinese restaurants. Beef with String Bean ($21): On point. Dry Beef Chow Fun ($20): This is a common dish found in most Chinese restaurants. It was a bit lacking in flavor, but the texture of the chow fun was perfectly rendered. Pork Chop with Salt & Pepper ($19) Another classic fare. Crispy and tasty, with jalapeños to boot. Unlimited complimentary tea was served, and the staff was attentive and friendly. Decors and ambiance were good for any occasion. It was an excellent evening spent at West Lake Plum House.

Everyone wearing masks, the lady that ran my credit card immediately used hand sanitizer when she handed it back, I really appreciate the effort being made here. Also, good news! The food is fantastic! Loved the dumplings and dipping sauce, great flavor in the lo mein, this may have been the best kung pow chicken I've ever had- veggies were perfectly crunchy and nice big pieces of real white meat chicken. Delicious. My only complaints is that the general tsao's they do is all white meat, which some people like, but it didn't have that crispy batter. Also, we didn't get the pork fried rice I ordered. But those things aside, I would for sure drive the 20 minutes to come back here. Really impressed.

Horrible. I usually go to Number 1 Chinese we are closed on…read moreTuesdays so I went back to China Royal, which used to be my go to Chinese restaurant for many years. I ordered sweet-and-sour chicken with a side of pork fried rice and scallion pancakes. To keep this short and sweet, sweet-and-sour chicken was cooked good albeit I did have a piece of chicken that looked like a penis. But the sweet-and-sour sauce was watery and had no consistency and did not stick to the chicken. The scallion pancakes were hard and overdone, and the pork fried rice was mushy and watery because it looked like they tried to revive it.

Very good Thank you

The total came to about $28 with a soda, which isn't cheap, but the quality and flavor made it well worth it.

Everywhere I go I hear people rave about the quality of the food here and being the noble reviewer I am I decided to put aside my PTSD and give King's a shot... and I am so glad I did. King's has now become a staple in my household whenever everyone is in the mood for Chinese food. You truly cannot go wrong with anything on the menu and everything I've tried so far has been delicious. The sesame chicken is great, the dumplings are small but flavorful, and the noodles are OUTSTANDING. I also really appreciate the friendly staff, and the owner Frank runs a very efficient operation. Whether it's pickup or dine-in, I can confidently say you will love King's and it might just become a staple in your household too.

The owner, Freddy, is very chatty and told us on weekends, they have a line for tables. His service is amazing, he connects with all his patrons, and is super generous. He brought us hot and sour soup, additional dumplings, and gave us a taste of his chicken and eggplant dish. We ordered the standard Chinese take out items--general Tsos chicken, vegetable lo mein and string beans stir fried with garlic. Everything came out quickly. The general tsos chicken could have been more crispy, but I appreciated that they weren't just half breading. The vegetable lo mein was good, but the string beans were covered with pork. The menu doesn't state anything about pork, and I don't eat red meat. I didn't want to make it inconvenient, especially after Freddy had been so friendly and generous, so I just scraped off the pork. The hot and sour soup also had bits of pork in it, though it is normally vegetarian. Wonderful service and food, just wished the menu was more clear.
