The sauce on that dish is slightly sweet and the black pepper is not overpowering. It comes with white onion and sliced green bell pepper. We always get at least two egg rolls we like them better than the spring rolls. We have tried the Mongolian Beef, the Szechuan Beef, and the Hunan Beef. None of them really stood out. But tonight we also tried the Kung Pao Chicken and the Beef with Garlic sauce and we're pleased with both. We like trying at least one new dish every week so I am certain we will find another favorite at some point!

First off, logistics are incredibly easy here there is a large, open parking lot right outside the restaurant, so you don't have to stress about finding a spot. The vibe inside is great. My absolute favorite detail has to be the custom wall mural that says "Sad me + Noodles = Happy Me." It really sets a fun, welcoming tone. I also loved the open-style layout where you can actually look over and watch the kitchen staff prepare and cook the food fresh. The hospitality was excellent right from the moment I walked through the door. I was greeted and seated immediately. The staff is incredibly attentive; when I ordered some hot green tea to drink, our waiter gave me a fantastic recommendation to pair with it: the Sichuan Cold Noodle. The Sichuan Cold Noodles were excellent perfectly seasoned and incredibly refreshing for a midday meal. Paired with the hot green tea, it made for a fantastic lunch combo. This is a great spot to grab a bite in Rochester. Great food, welcoming service, and an awesome atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back

The staff is also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommend--definitely worth a visit if you're in Rochester

To my surprise, the chicken also included broccoli, which I liked! The Crab Rangoon was cooked to perfection, and they were crispy on the outside. The rice and General Tso's chicken were delicious! I always enjoy how much better sit-down/takeout Chinese restaurants are, compared to buffets. It was $16 total, and enough food for several meals for me.

So as far as the food goes I had hot and sour soup. It was spicy but mostly broth. Not a hardy soup as you find in many Chinese restaurants. I'd pass. Also had the Kung Pao chicken. Very tasty. And portion was large enough to feed two people easily. Bill was $20. No fortune cookie and woman at the counter not welcoming. As far as Chinese restaurants are concerned Kung Pao was a quality dish.

The cook was Asian, so that was kinda good! But, overheard a patron inquire about origin, and he stated Malaysia. So, I ordered wonton soup two times, combo fried noodles, beef , pork, chicken and shrimp, hot tea and 4 egg rolls. I have to say, the dining room help... she was kinda " cold". Our food came and our order of Winton soup, was a cup with three pieces wonton! Holy smokes! Guess it's a region thing! The egg rolls were actually really good, after the four, I ordered three more LOL! Noodles were good, had taste and no complaints! I was surprised! They did have Chinese hot mustard! We were the solo people in dining room for a while, then a family of four and an elderly couple sat in. My child (5yrs old) had a infatuation with a gum ball machine, centered near entrance and near this elderly couple, who was dining a few feet from us. The older gent, either didn't like little kids, or because we looked different in their hood! Either way, his rudeness was felt in the sir, we paid and we left. They probably would had gotten a better review, but the hostess, was more bothered with us dining there, then doing her job, and seeing to it that we were served accordingly. I don't plan to be in Winona again, or anytime soon! I heard that's where Winona Ryder was raised? I'd like to think, not all country folks aren't as the ones who made my visit, kind of uneasy feeling

The estate is enveloped by the most magnificent, lush greenery and beautiful flowers; the visual presentation of both the exterior and interior is nothing short of stunning. It feels less like a traditional restaurant and more like a peaceful, hidden sanctuary. One has the lovely option of dining either indoors or al fresco. I chose to step inside, and the ambiance completely captivated me. The decor is masterfully curated, transporting one entirely out of Rochester and into a serene, elegant Thai forest. The hospitality was equally impressive. While I was speaking with our attentive waiter, the charming owner personally came over to greet me and introduced Annie, which was a thoroughly delightful touch. The level of care and personalized service here is genuinely top-tier. To drink, I enjoyed a beautifully crafted Mock-Gari-Thai. Upon the owner's superb recommendation, I paired it with the Tom Yum Noodle Soup. The pairing was magnificent the flavors were complex, vibrant, and executed with absolute precision. It is clear they take extraordinary care with every single detail of the dining experience. I am completely enamored with this establishment and shall most certainly be returning. Full marks
