    intestine dry pot
    Carrie L.

    this place needs more hype. super authentic and very delicious dishes. anything you order is super flavorful and worth. service is great too as the dishes came out pretty fast and fresh. favorites are the cumin lamb, stinky tofu, and the intestine dishes

    Hunnan pork stir fried
    Jennifer C.

    This place is definitely worth checking out! The food was delicious, and the presentation was super cute. Portions are generous-more like dinner sized-so if you want to sample a variety of dishes, I'd recommend going with a larger group. We went as a group of three, ordered 5 dishes, and still had plenty of leftovers (which we're definitely looking forward to enjoying tomorrow). Everything we ordered was flavorful, but the spicy beef rice noodles and preserved egg with eggplant and pepper stood out as my favorites. And don't skip the Pumpkin Pie for dessert-it was the perfect ending to the meal. It had a pain puri-style mochi vibe, lightly sweet and really unique.

    Pork trotter with stinky tofu
    Jennifer L.

    The restaurant is pretty small and service is a bit slow, but the food is flavorful and delicious, not too spicy though. We enjoyed the dish we ordered. Nice presentation with big portion too. Fish head with hot pepper: not a lot of flavor when I ate there but got spicier after taking leftover home and cooked a bit longer. Chicken with pickled radish: loved the flavor but the chicken is in super tiny pieces with lots of bone. Blood curd: bean sprouts was overly salty. But the duck blood was delicious. Fish in chili oil: not too spicy when eating there either. Big portion. Intestines with stinky tofu / pork trotter with stinky tofu / Spicy pork intestines / Hunan stir fried pork : my favorite dishes. Not too spicy but so good with rice.

    Smashed eggplant
    TY Z.

    Great smashed eggplants and cultice smoked pork. Their tofu fish head soup is also outstanding. This is a small restaurant that doesn't have many staffs member, but they do their best to serve and keep it clean. The price is also on the cheaper side. This is such a hidden gem and I would recommend it to any one who likes spicy Chinese food.

    Fried lamb
    Sam H.

    In town for a bowling tournament and needed some dinner after a day of bowling. We decided to have some spicy food. This place is a small business with about 10 tables. Upon entering the employee was busy playing on his phone and didn't notice us for about 5 minutes. Once he saw us, he motioned for us to pick a table. We ordered the fried lamb, spicy trotter (pig feet) and sautéed cauliflower. Everything was seasoned well and about a medium heat and my favorite was the cauliflower, which was basic but full of wok flavor & seasoning.

    Excellent service and food ,Whether you're a fan of spicy food or looking to try something new, this place is a must-visit. Authentic, flavorful, and unforgettable - I'll definitely be coming back!

    Came to eat here with my family of 13. They were able to accommodate us. The young man that served us was great, our communication was done with a few words since we don't speak his language but he was still very good. We ordered a FEW plates and they were all great! Our family loves chilies/ spicy food and this was the right place! Inside was very quiet and clean. I would come back to try new dishes.

    Spicy Beef Noodle Soup
    Y C.

    Ordered a spicy beef noodle soup and it's impressive! The beef is very tender & juicy, the noodle is so chewy and the spicy soup is incredible! Definitely will go there again :)

Taste of MP now allows ordering lunch special to-go too? New boss lady/manager is on top of things! Monday lunch after 1pmish, she offered to even give us tupperwares of soup since they said they'll be tossing after lunch is done. I feel soup is usually not allowed to-go even if there's leftovers from dining, and definitely not when ordering take-out. Soup and rice are usually dine-in benefits. So given soup to go was really nice! What we got this time 5/11/26 Monday 1pmish visit: (After Mother's day) -- #1. Pan fried string beans with lunches pork and pickled olives $12.99 #3.

Old notes for self -- New Year Day, and certain holidays have no lunch special. The SO did like these dishes before too. #26 Sauteed squid with black bean sauce. #57 Preserved vegetables with pork intestine. Jellyfish cold appetizer is decent from here too.

(Expect 15 - 20 mins) Parking is abundant, since there are few businesses in this plaza. For starters, my friend and I shared the xiao long bao, popcorn chicken, and beef rolls. Our first item, the popcorn chicken, was divine - medium and fried to perfection, couldn't ask for better! The xiao long bao was next on the list, and these featured a more thick but still chewy skin. Unfortunately, two of ours were served "stuck together" which led to them breaking - sad! The last item, the beef rolls, were amazing as well. Not only is it a timeless classic, but the beef wasn't too dry. Between these tasty bites, we also shared a honey lemon green tea. My friend warned me about these mug sizes, and yes... one is probably enough for a table of four to share! This drink was super sweet, and it was definitely in need of dilution to be drinkable. Once your belly is full, though, good luck getting out! The space inside is fairly tight but nonetheless well worth a visit! Easily one of the best popcorn chicken in town!

I've…read moreseen social media influencers rave about it, and several people in my personal life have recommended it too. All I can say is the hype is real. My crew and I went on a Friday night, and even though it was very busy, we were seated fairly quickly. There were four of us, and here's what we ordered: chicken fried rice, Shanghai-style chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, and juicy pork dumplings. Chicken Fried Rice: It was soft and pillowy with great flavor, though I felt it could have used a bit more color. It looked a little pale, but it was still delicious. Shanghai-Style Chow Mein: This was perfect. The flavor was spot on, the sauce was well-balanced, and the noodles had the ideal texture. The ratio of noodles, vegetables, and meat was just right. Sweet and Sour Chicken: This was the highlight for me. My only regret is not ordering more to take home. The chicken was crispy without being overdone, and it was coated in that delicious sweet and sour sauce. Juicy Pork Dumplings: We were at a dumpling house, so we had to order dumplings. These did not disappoint. They were very flavorful, and the broth inside was rich and satisfying. We originally planned to order more dishes, but the portions were generous, and we ended up with just the right amount to leave satisfied. Overall, this place lives up to the hype. I can't wait to come back and try more.

    TDLR: It's a fine establishment that understands the balance between the price to taste ratio…read more Price things that are around the standard Chinese restaurant establishments, but make it taste a bit better than expected. Baked Sole over Rice (Cream Sauce): This is one of my guilty pleasures. I think they hit par when it comes to this. You get a decent amount of fish, the cream sauce doesn't overpower the overall vibe of the dish, and the cheese is just the right amount. I think it'll fill up the average person. Seafood Tofu Hotpot (comes with white rice): Again, another dish that's difficult to improve outside of using better ingredients. They did enough to make it good while keeping it at a fair price point. It's a good mix of seafood, tofu, and vegetables, and the sauce was the right blend. Curry Beef Brisket Flank (comes with white rice): The wildcard of the restaurant. People who love curry would say that it's not spicy enough, and people who just enjoy the curry flavor without the heat will just be able to tolerate the heat level. The gamble comes from the meat to tendon ratio, which I feel isn't standardized. If you enjoy both, then it shouldn't matter. But as a beef enjoyer who is not that big on tendons, it's a gamble. Signature Fish Fillet (comes with white rice): It's the classic sweet and salty blend in most Chinese restaurants that I find addicting. This place has a more peppery feel to it. It's gonna be hard to eat a lot of it, but those bites before you're sick and tired of the flavor bomb will be worth it. French Style Diced Beef Tenderloin (comes with white rice): I'm not gonna lie. I've had this in far too many Chinese restaurants. I have a hard time differentiating between all of them. What I'll tell you is that the beef is on the peppery end, but it's super soft. If you love slightly undercooked onions and mushrooms, you're in luck. Egg Tofu with Enoki Mushrooms (comes with white rice): Another Chinese restaurant classic that I find impossible to differentiate, but never have I ever been disappointed when ordering this. I will tell you that this is one of the perfect dishes to order if you're dining with vegetarians. Crispy Salt & Pepper Fish Fillet: They weren't lying when they said salt & pepper. It's a very salty piece of fried fish, and the peppers they tossed in there have a decent amount of heat. I'd stay away from this. Crispy Shrimp Spring Rolls: It's the appetizer for the kids (or adults who are being introduced to Chinese food). I'd only get this if someone really wants it or wants to try it. Salted Egg Shrimp: Normally, salted egg _______ is a luxurious delicacy. It's heavily sinful, but also very good. Unfortunately, this place's version is missing something. It's almost like they forgot an ingredient when mixing the sauce, so the overall flavor profile isn't popping out. It's a shame, I was expecting more. Shrimp Fried Rice: Stock standard. It's good, the shrimp pieces are sizable, and it's a good option for people who won't want white rice (which is included in many of the dishes) Hainanese Chicken w/ Rice: Many restaurants get this wrong, mainly just by giving boiled chicken and white rice, then just giving the correct sauces. This place doesn't do that. They get the chicken right, they get the rice right, and they at least got the ginger and scallion sauce, which was good. Overall, a good dish. Hong Kong Egg Waffle: This is supposed to be a dessert, but they served it along with the other food. By the time we got to this, it was already cold. The taste was decent though. Service: Classic Chinese restaurant with better standards. You order, and they give you what you asked for. Don't expect much, and they won't disappoint. Ambiance: It's giving Hong Kong food court x street side dining kind of vibe. I think people who've been to Hong Kong will understand and appreciate the vibe, while those who haven't will just have to take my word for it.
