The cucumber salad was seasoned perfectly and was a nice balance to the otherwise heavy meal. My favorite is probably the pork xiao long bao, but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything you order. Service was great. Both times we were a party of two and were seated quickly, if not immediately. Food came out very fast. Will 100% be returning.

Really exciting place focused on Northwest Chinese cuisine…read more The signature dish, the hand-pulled beef noodle soup, had a fairly light, but subtle, flavor. The noodles themselves I wish were chewier (got the 'flat' but probably should have gone for 'extra wide'), and perhaps it'd been nice to have some different textures inside the soup (e.g. something crunchy). The scallions in the soup were also too wide, and needed to be sliced more thinly. The beef pancake was quite decent, though the edges didn't have enough beef and the middles had too much beef. The beef was tender, though I might have liked it more flaky. The sauce inside the pancake was somewhat unevenly applied, and a bit too sweet. I wonder if a dipping sauce (maybe a vinegar?) would have helped. The blueberry with mashed yams was fascinating. It was listed under appetizers, and wondered why the dish came out last. But the dish was a bit sweet (naturally!) and so it actually worked as a light modest dessert! The wait staff was spot on after all in putting out the dish last. The stir-fried cabbage dish was beautiful! It was appropriately crunch, yet using good wok hey. The salt level was a bit high, but the spice level was good. Their spice ratings were a bit timid to what I encounter in Szechuan restaurants (the 'regular' level seemed to be more 'mild-regular'). The stir-fried cumin potato was delicious; nicely flavored, nicely charred. Some bits were a bit oily but the cook on the potato was really neat. Will revisit!!!

Hm, we had high hopes for this Lanzhou noodle place because we saw customizable noodle type and all…read morethe photos looked amazing, but our tries here have only been ok. We've ordered several of their noodle soups and noodle dishes with regular, thick, and wide noodles that have been fine but not great. I think the textures of their noodles across the board have been too soft, not chewy enough. We've tried some of their other dishes, which have been better: my fav is the cold okra appetizer. Also, the potato balls in the beef brisket with potato are a sleeper hit. Unfortunately, the dish was mostly beef and not potato haha unusual gripe. Service is normal, efficient, on the attentive side for a chinese place. Interior is nice and new and clean. After our second try, I'm not super pressed to come back, but if we're in the area, I might try some of their other non-noodle dishes!

Each of the times I remembered were tasty. The ambiance when you arrive is dramatic Chinese music in the background which makes it somewhat difficult to converse with your group. Most recently we arrived with a group of 8 for our 7:30 pm reservation without any issues. All the other tables were full but we noticed the restaurant cleared out after an hour of us being there past the peak hours. They gave us 2 containers of the standalone spicy powder so people could add on as they wanted and the less spice tolerant in our group weren't saddled with the consequences. I tried the following dishes: Lamb & Beef Kebabs - 3 sticks per order I preferred the beef texture and taste over the lamb. BBQ Lamb Ribs - they said this was the only dish that came default spicy but I didn't think it was that spicy. the smoking in the raised wooden container gave it additional flavor. I preferred lamb ribs over the kebabs. Torched Beef - one of the favorites for our table the sauce with it was also super tasty. Big Squid - challenging to cut but they give a lot of pieces and generous portion with a special sauce. Grandma's juicy pork buns - on the small side, topped with black sesame and sauce you can add on the side. it was juicy as advertised. Cucumber salad - refreshing and included peanuts for texture and flavor. Fried tofu - not too memorable but the fried texture was tasty. Bok choy - I enjoyed the sauce spread across this veggie dish. Shiitake & King Oyster Mushroom - these are 2 separate orders but I can't remember which was the skewer and which was on a regular plate. Both were overall tasty. Cauliflower - Another solid veggie option but nothing too memorable if you want to focus mainly on protein. BBQ Bread slice - one of the inauthentic cuisines and it's like French toast Kaoijiu dragon yogurt- I was expecting more dragon fruit flavor so that was a bit disappointing but it still tasted good overall. I am not sure it's worth the $10 dessert price. Overall solid food options and we didn't have any leftovers so it ended up being ~$40-60 per person depending if people also ordered drink/dessert. Worth checking out if you haven't had a chance to before they are gone forever!

Limited Street Parking…read more The food made up for the wait time but it was very long. This place was packed, we came in no reservation and the wait time they told us just kept getting longer. We eventually were able to get in, there is a small space to wait with snacks though. Once our table was almost ready the host allowed us to order and once sat it came almost right away. We ordered the la-xi chicken with less spice, this has small crispy chicken pieces and lot of peppers, had to go in and pick out the little pieces. Truthfully wish it was less pepper and more chicken especially $23.95. The mapo tofu was delicious the perfect numbing sensation that I love. A must try dish was the fish fillet with crispy rice. This was $34 but it is perfect for cold day. They bring this dish out pour the soup on top and let it boil until the crispy gets cooked. We got the green beans as well, pretty standard nothing special. We got a little discount as well, I think for a late night special. The entire meal came with tea and the restaurant had calm setting with wooden interior

Disappointing Service & Poor Seating Arrangement…read more Extremely disappointed with our experience here. I made a reservation for 6 people One Month in advance (in fact, today is my birthday) expecting a comfortable dining setup for my group. However, upon arrival, we were squeezed into a table clearly designed for 4 people. When we pointed this out, the staff insisted it was a '6-person table' and refused to move us to the larger tables available, claiming those were reserved for 7-8 people. This is inconsistent and unprofessional, as we have been seated at those larger tables with a group of 6 before. What's the point of making a reservation so far in advance if the restaurant can't provide adequate seating? The lack of flexibility and the dismissive attitude of the staff ruined our evening. For a place like Mountain House, I expected much better service. Will not be coming back anytime soon."

Service was quick, plus you can usually find a spot if you're aiming to grab a bite on a weekday. Only main downside is that it's more or less street parking, but it's not far from the D train. Anyway, I feel like I almost always go for their northeastern sweet and sour pork as it has a solid texture to it: being very juicy and chewy, yet maintaining a nice crispness to each bite - likely from the sticky/glutinous rice flour, which adds a subtle sweetness to it underneath the sweet and tangy sauce around the pork. Would also recommend their deep fried mushrooms, if you're aiming to have a drink with a crunchy snack, as they're quite addictive. Though frankly, I feel that a fair number of their goodies do pair well with a nice drink or two Definitely coming back for more.

Big Fun Clay Pot is a staple for my friends and family--our go-to spot whether we're in the mood…read morefor a quick snack or a full meal. The food is consistently savory, flavorful, and downright delicious. Honestly, everything here is good. Parking can be tough, but it's absolutely worth it. Our must-order is the salt and pepper combo--my favorite mix is pork, shrimp, and squid. We always add the salt and pepper wings as well. For vegetables, the string beans and garlic eggplant are staples at our table. The rice clay pots are another highlight, especially the black mushroom and chicken--it's hearty, satisfying, and easily a meal on its own (perfect for sharing). The beef chow fun is also excellent. Another standout (not pictured) is the wonton noodle soup. The wontons are plump, flavorful, and really hit the spot. The service is consistently great--everyone is friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The restaurant is also clean, which always makes the experience even better. This is definitely one of those places we keep coming back to.

Nonetheless, there were a few tables aside from ours and the interior was very clean and modern. Parking in the area is pretty easy as there are plenty of meter parking spots. The menu had a good selection without being overwhelming. We ended up ordering Eel clay pot rice, stir-fried string beans, half house chicken and seafood w tofu in claypot. I enjoyed all the dishes but the half house chicken and eel clay pot rice have got to be my favorites. I liked the stir-fried string beans as well but found it a bit saltier than I was used to and the seafood w tofu felt very saucy thought still pretty good. Our server recommended that we order one more when we had only ordered three initially without the seafood w tofu because she said everything was one serving size. However, I think we could have done without the fourth dish. Overall, it was a little pricier than claypot in Quincy or other predominantly asian places but I enjoyed my experience and would come back if chance comes up.

Things are definitely a bit cramped but it doesn't feel like that, as the environment is very home-y, with a lot of natural lighting makes this a great environment for a great lunch out with the friends. Would return to try more things from the menu!

I had to cancel those items myself through customer service, which was a real hassle. I would've expected the merchant to handle that directly. As for the food, the honey BBQ pork was too sweet and dry, and the ribs didn't resemble the menu photo at all; also dry. The rice was decent and portion size was reasonable. It feels like this place has potential but could use some management tweaks. I genuinely hope they succeed, but based on this visit, I'd be hesitant to order again until things are more consistent.
