    Wonton Soup (L)
    Yuan Z.

    It's a gloomy day which is perfect for a hot bowl of wonton soup! Called in and got the orders ready and waiting for me in less than 10min! Good portions with four pieces of shrimp, a few pieces of chicken chunks, and vegetables mix ( carrots slices, Chinese cabbage, bamboo shoots, chest nuts, and snow peas). I was surprised to find the wontons were with chicken filings which is different from what I am used to: most wontons are with pork fillings. I guess this would be a good option for the non-pork crowd. I have tried their noodle dishes and did catering with the them before with satisfaction.

    Walnut Shrimp(Full)

    Went here with mom and my partner for a quick, spur of the moment dinner stop. Super friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and yummy food. We had chicken fried rice, orange chicken, and some walnut shrimp. The walnut shrimp was really good!!!! Totally a do-over! We liked this place and will come back. Nothing too fancy, but solidly good.

    Kung Pao chicken bowl
    Joseph C.

    Stopped in here just to try their Kung Pao chicken. I've generally been disappointed with most Chinese restaurants that have stopped making this dish the way I remember /like it. Usually too few peanuts and smothered with runny sauce and very little chicken. Not the case here. Order the bowl and it will be very satisfying. An added bonus is the salted pepper chicken wings. Those were delicious! But if you order them don't get them to go as they won't be as crisp by the time you eat them.

    Service is good. Lady server is very accommodating and friendly. I ordered Kung Pao Fish and mu hubby ordered Kung Pao Chicken dinner. They were delicious. Fish was tender, well cooked, soft and not fishy. This restaurant is where locals come regularly and servers know them. The ambiance is typical Chinese restaurant but they play old Rock music from the Sixties. The price is reasonable and well worth making a stop for quick dinner.

    The location is good since im living 5 minutes in this beautiful small restaurant the food is good the server are super nice hope we can support a small business like this thank you!!!!

    Kung Pao 4 Delight
    Eddie C.

    Place was nice. Unfortunately empty at the time I went but I can't complain since the food came out fast and the service was good. Service: the staff was nice and friendly. Making sure my water cup was full and checking on me if I needed anything. Ambience is good. Looks like they revamped the place compared to the older pictures. I should have taken some of the menus as well but I didn't know how long ago other people took pictures of the place. Good was great. I had the Kung pao 4 delight. Chicken, beef, shrimp, scallops. All the proteins were really tender and the chills had a great kick to them. Overall: I had a pleasant experience. Luckily I don't work too far from the place. I will be back to visit again

    We decided to stop in for dinner while in the area since we've heard nothing but good things about this place. Upon arrival I noticed the place was pretty empty but decided to try it anyway. The restaurant is quaint with a spacious dining area and staff were very polite, friendly, and attentive. We didn't dine in since we had our dog so just got take out. Their dinner menu selections is a la cart family style with various kung pao bowls where you can choose a protein. I had the 4 delight bowl that came with chicken, shrimp, beef, and scallops. It also had scallions, peanuts on a bed of white rice. My wife ordered the chicken bowl, she wanted it hot and spicy with white rice. I was disappointed with my meal, it lacked flavor and the rice was mushy. It wasn't what I expected since people we know dine here all the time but come for lunch where they have specials. The protein was doused in a sauce that just wasn't tasty. The food totally under succeeded our expectations. We should have just went to Panda Express that's around the corner. Sorry not sorry!!

    3 delight bowl.
    Krissy R.

    I really like the 3 delight bowl here even though it is not the same as it was before. I think they use basmati rice now instead of jasmine and the texture is just not as ideal. It consists of steamed or fried rice and chicken, beef, plus shrimp smothered in a delightful brown sauce. The components come together well to please your palate. You can get it with or without peanuts and green onion. Also, you can adjust the spice to it. They were more generous with the meat under the old management but it's still worth the drive on my lunch break now and then to grab a to go of this particular dish. The lunch special includes a eggflower soup that is better than other places, this restaurant has stood the test of time.

    Kung pao, orange chicken and lemon chicken
    Joe M.

    This place never disappoints. Kung pao and orange chicken are a must here. Alice is the best server here but all other servers provide A+ servers as well. Customer service is the best I've experienced in all of the city of Norwalk.

The lady running the counter was fast and efficient, juggling several walk-in customers as well as those who were seated with speed and aplomb. Not Disney-nice, but Asian-efficient. As I waited the ten minutes or so she'd told me it would take, I spied the cans of soft drinks in the cooler and stood up to grab some cash from my wallet. Before I could, the lady brought me a can of Mountain Dew, badged "American Dee" for our country's recent big birthday, and gave it to me *gratis*. That was really nice of her. The portions were more than enough with two main items and pork fried rice, family style. There was plenty of rice left over for George and I had the rest of the Kung Pau beef a few days later.

The noodles had a proper bite to them, not overcooked or mushy the way hand-pulled noodles sometimes go. The beef was good. My one nitpick: the daikon was sliced a touch too thin.
