    the front of a restaurant in the rain
    Sterling C.

    A coworker pickup food for everybody on her way to work. She suggested them and the food was really good and fresh. So today I'm back to try more of the menu. My 1st time here and like all Chinese restaurants pretty much the same setup. I did see they offered a buffet on some days. Clean, nice service, fast but not rushed. To me watching them whip the rice in the wok is like an art form. To get every grain evenly costed and cooked is a God sent talent.

    I absolutely love this place! I loved the previous owners and the new ones are even better! Everything is super fresh, vegetables are always cook to perfection, never soggy. The beef fried rice is not at all greasy or over cooked. The beef and broccoli is amazing and not dry nor is the chicken and broccoli. I always add mushrooms and they are not shy with them. The crab ragoon is sooo delicious and still amazing the next day if you reheat in a toaster over. There is so much more I could talk forever. You would not be disappointed!

    Food was very disappointing. Ordered $50 worth of takeout and the shrimp lo Mein and pork Fried rice was dark brown color- looked couple days old, and didn't taste right. Boneless spare ribs didn't taste good either. Not going back.

    This has always been and always will be the BEST place to get Chinese food. I've never had a bad meal once.

    I am always craving this place. They have noodle dishes and the wonton is delicious. The workers…read moreare super nice and helpful and were able to accommodate for 10 people last minute. It has a traditional looking interior with wooden plaques around. I would have to recommend getting wontons no matter what dish you get, the sauce is so good and we were picking at the peanuts. I got my favorite Hot n Spicy noodles, this was a little more sour than I remembered so if you don't like sour soups I wouldn't recommend. The Dan Dan Noodles were great although could use a little more sauce. The cucumber dish was good, a little small but was refreshing to eat.

    On May 7th, Thursday I drove from Hatfield all the way to Amherst. Hoping to try out many dishes…read more It was after 2pm when I got there. Half the restaurant seats (the right side) were empty. I was given a small table near the entrance and I asked for a larger table, since I planned on ordering quite a few dishes to try. The maître d' said "No", that they reserve those seats for four people. I completely understand if the restaurant was busy or expecting more people. I said, no, I would be leaving. I was allowed to leave. After all, he had no stake in the revenue. But I hope the owners will take notice of this. You have lost a customer, and likely a repeat customer. In addition, whatever happened to service and accommodating customers, especially when it costs nothing in this situation.

    Consistent, flavorful, and good portion sizes. Went for lunch and the service was pretty quick,…read morethough we went right at opening so they were still in the process of starting their day. Lunch specials are smaller portion, but good for the price (raised to $12.95 now since my last menu photo) We split a lot of dishes because we couldn't decide: Wonton soup appetizer {4.5/5}: Loved how delicate the wontons were and the clear broth was great for a cold day. Tad too salty though. Lunch special --Braised pork belly {3/5}: Very tender, but kind of monotone in flavor. Very filling! Lunch special --Hot and sour gizzards {4.5/5}: This might freak people out in terms of texture, but I LOVE this texture. Good chew and pops of heat from the peppers and acid from the pickled green beans Lunch special --Cumin dish lamb {3/5}: kind of chewy and not as much flavor as I wished, but not bad! Chicken wings {3/5}: Crunchyyyy. Battered wings, not as much flavor as their chongqing chicken which I prefer, but not bad

    Really good sichuan food, giant portions, authentic…read more Been meaning to swing by this place. Often cited as one of the best sichuan places around, had to make the trek to see. Outside is very much a busy shopping plaza in not the best part of town. Inside is a completely different story. Very clean and spacious, lots of booths and tables. Decorated well and a lot to see. The staff were friendly but there was a slight language barrier. We fumbled through the menu and found some bites to try. Food came out relatively quick, and that was a bit to manage because there were a lot of plates brought rather quickly. We got pics and dug in. The bites were flavored well. Nothing felt too greasy or under seasoned. The white pepper chicken was very crispy. But not a lot of chicken on each bite. The sweet and sour soup was both sweet and sour, but balanced enough that you could keep on eating it. The dumplings were fresh noodles and the filling was spiced well. The only flop was the spare ribs. Really tasty sauce, but very little meat on the bone. Had to suck on the bones to scrape enough meat off to make it a proper appetizer. It tasted good, just was not easy to eat. Price for the area was high for the neighborhood. It's got the quality and the flavor to command that price easily, but it doesn't match the stores. It's really good, but know that you're getting the real deal sichuan experience. Expect some heat, some saucy fingers, and some bones, and you'll get some really good bites
