5 stars for the GLUTEN FREE general tsos chicken! It was SO good, gf or not. We also had spring rolls which were good, pineapple fried rice which was just okay (wouldn't get again) and a gf chocolate cake that was good! Highly recommend, especially if you're gluten free and missing chinese food! read more

Sigh, another New York place I NEED in Arizona. Never have I ever seen gluten free low mein EVER. And it was sooooo good. Looked and tasted just like the regular version. Also got the crispy orange chicken gluten free (not on the menu but they said they could do it for us). I've missed orange chicken. So crispy and tangy and slightly sweet. It came with orange prices and spicy pepper!! Also some broccoli which was nice and white rice. Also got the crispy spring rolls because can't get that gluten free anywhere else. Divine. Came out nice and hot and had the perfect crunch and a delicate sauce to go with it. Split all this with a friend and we had enough for another small meal each the next day. I will be dreaming of this meal for a long time. Huge portions. Came out fast. The fried food didn't seem oily and gross. Pretty nice restaurant inside as well. read more

If you or a friend are gluten free, 100% head to this place. A couple of my friends are celiac/gluten free and hadnt had chinese food in ages, so they were really excited and this surpassed their expectations! Took a while to get seated a bit past our reservation time, but once seated, food came extremely fast and service was solid. Lettuce wraps were amazing, sesame chicken was super good. The thai iced tea was a great refresher. We felt the lo mein was alright but not as amazing as the others. Overall it was great food and i never felt like i was missing out bc it was gluten free. Its a casual NYC spot filled with groups of people, so nothing too fancy. Prices and portions were solid too! Highly recommend if in the area and want some food that is tasty and will arrive fast once seated / ordered. read more

GLUTEN FREE CHINESE FOOD THAT IS DELICIOUS! It is impossible to find delicious GF Chinese food but Lili and Loo have cracked the code. They understand how serious Celiac is and Sandy our waitress made us feel safe and taken care of. The restaurant is cozy and clean. The Sesame chicken was sweet and crispy, so were the egg rolls and the fried rice was amazing and the surprising winner? Their GF carrot cake and GF chocolate cake. I have also ordered delivery and it comes perfect and on time! read more

Needed some NYC styled Chinese food, specifically general tso's, ever since I had to go gluten free. This was incredibly crispy. However, the meal was extremely heavy and I was so tired afterwards. Service wasnt spectacular, they did their job and food didnt take too long. I also got the szechuan beef but this didnt particularly have the szechuan spice to it.

Does not match New York City's three Chinatowns in quality or quantity, but eminently serviceable, efficient, and clean -- and definitely deserves better than the Yelp 3.7 it has now.

My friend is gluten free and recommended we go try this place out since they offered both a GF and a regular menu! We walked in and were seated right away by the door at a small table! The place was packed! Like I mentioned, 2 menu's & a drink menu! They only have beer, sake & wine! I ordered a glass of wine, kani salad & chicken pad thai, he ordered bbq ribs & GF shrimp noodles. The food was okay - it wasn't as tasty as I expected - maybe a little on the bland side? We asked for some extra soy sauce on the side! All in all, if you're GF & want Chinese food, def recommend you give it a try! Service was quick and all the people working were very polite and positive energy overall! read more

A gluten free Chinese place?!? We saw this place on tik tok and wanted to check it out due to my fiances gluten allergy. They have so many gluten free options it is definitely a must try place for any gluten free people. I rate this as I am gluten free. We started with the spare ribs and sushi roll. The spare ribs were good and probably the best thing we had. The roll was good but not spectacular. I wouldn't be mad about eating it again but wouldn't go out of my way to get it. We then split the lo mein noodles and general tso's chicken. For gluten free, these were very good. The chicken had a good spice on it. The lo mein were garlicky and cooked perfectly. For gluten free food, this was very good. I would give it 3 stars as regular Chinese food but if I had an allergy and didn't have too many options this gets a 4 read more

I have eaten here regularly (1 time/week) since before 2015, through 3 locations. Food has always been average, pickup troublesome. Today was profoundly disappointing. It will be a long time before I eat here again. Had a 12:30 meeting so ordered at 11:45. Pickup scheduled for 12:03. Actually got food after 12:20, late for meeting and had to eat through it. When I expressed disappointment I did not got apology or expedition. While they acknowledged I am (was) a regular, I got an argument. Don't need aggravation with my lunch esp as a historically repeat customer. Several other asian cuisine places with less drama (inc. across street). Bye-bye.

We stopped in for a cold drink and an appetizer to share, we arrived shortly after 12 and the restaurant was quiet. The gluten free menu was expansive offering most classics like fried dumplings, fried rice, sushi, sesame chicken etc. We have a great gluten free chinese spot near us, so we decided to try something that they don't offer. We tried the pan fried pork dumplings. It came with a tasty dipping sauce. The pork itself was great, but the dough on our dumplings was undercooked. Fried side was cooked fine but the opposing side was thick and chewy and was goo on the chopsticks. Sadly this is the only food item we tried. Many others have raved about this place but we probably would try somewhere else next time we are in the area. I had a Cosmo, taste was off but drink was strong and it was $10 so a deal in the city. Staff was nice and attentive. read more

My friend had the chicken dumplings. He said they were okay. I thought they were overcooked. My steamed shrimp shumai were fine, but steamed, they didn't have much flavour. The edamame, on the other hand, had way too much when it should have almost none. I don't know if it was excess salt, MSG or something else, but not good. I should have sent them back. I hope this was just an off night for the kitchen.

It's your typical takeout Chinese food spot. Apparently, there used to be a few chairs, but after the pandemic, they never put them back.

The other colleague ordered shrimp and broccoli but wanted it spicy with veggie fried rice, and I ordered the shrimp with garlic sauce with pork fried rice and an order of fried chicken wings. The service was good and the food was piping hot. Everyone was happy with their meal. Plus, they give you a lot of food. I had plenty to take home. I would come back and try some other things.

The pacing of the meal for the quantity of food received seemed very rushed, and we didn't really have a chance to relax and enjoy any of the courses. However, the quality of the experience was a complete disaster particularly for the price. Clearly, the packed restaurant would disagree, but for the four of us anyway, we would not return. It started with the check in process at what felt like a long hotel front desk with multiple, self important hosts and hostesses overseeing your entrance to the cavernous bar/waiting area. One problem is the noise is so deafening that you can't really hear what they say to you but we check in a few minutes early and waited obediently in the bar area chatting. After about 30 minutes (15 after our reservation time), and watching numerous parties large and small who arrived after us be seated by the hostesses wandering through the dimly lit space who peer quizzically and ask your name, my husband went to ask for an update. (We joked that those vibrating lighted buzzers alerting when your table was ready would have been super helpful, but it was amusing to watch while we waited). It was clear they somehow lost track of us as she had him repeatedly spell our (not unusual) name. Anyway, after that, within 10 minutes after that we were taken downstairs to our seats (but not before standing awkwardly in the large dining area near packed tables waiting while our table was cleaned). Server with a heavy accent was kind and mostly helpful so none of this is on him. The busser who managed to spill half a pitcher of cold water on my husband's back, soaking his shirt and jacket and barely apologizing, is a whole other story. We managed to get a glass of his mediocre Cabernet comped for the experience. If I sound annoyed, I guess I still am. I had high hopes for a fun and tasty experience in a cool part of the city and it just wasn't.

(And you'd totally miss out on a great little joint.) I'm a lower middle-class Jersey guy - what the heck do I know about cocktails? But I dove right into one ("Jade Collins") and it was firing on all cylinders. Crisp, clean, strong enough to knock over an ox. Then we got a handful of apps - everyone else swore by all the ones they'd had - but I just tried the Salt & Pepper Shrimp and... sweet baby Jesus, this little plate had a wicked amount of flavor from every angle. "Aggressively seasoned" might be an understatement. Wild. Onto the mains and I ventured towards their Spicy Drunken Noodle (my go-to whenever I'm hitting a Thai restaurant on my home turf) and... yeah, you probably guessed it - incredible. Not the biggest portion but they made every single component sing with flavor. With so much going on - of course I needed to indulge with another drink (hey, I wasn't driving!). There were six of us, it came to about $100 a person... welcome to NYC. But we did get a wide selection of plates/food and those two drinks accounted for about $40 of my tab. (And you'll never see such a heavy wine pour at a restaurant... they filled the glass almost to the rim - which was not even something I'd do for myself when I'm home.) Definitely recommended.

One thing was that I have food allergies, and because some food items are prepared, it was difficult for them to accommodate. There were some meals that they could adapt, but if you have food allergies or food restrictions, be prepared to not have access to the full menu. Lost one star because the service was a little lacking: servers were super nice, but it took a while to flag them down for drinks or the check. Other than that, great experience and great food!

Then the scallion pancakes which were crispy and airy paired with this very interesting sauce that was clear but tasted like sweet and sour sauce. For mains we got Kung Pao Chicken which was pretty delicious but my star of the show was the Crispy Beef. It was crispy asf and skinny too I didn't know you could make beef skinny like that. Sauce was super tasty and thick. On the side was broccoli which was fine and eggplant which was fine on its own and good with the chili sauce. Split the Fortune Cookie Red Velvet Cake which okay I thought there would be more creativity with adding fortune cookies somewhere in the cake but it was just a cake with fortune cookies on top. Also they put 2 when we had 4 people like lowkey they couldve just put 2 more on there but anyways the cake itself was pretty tasty so can't complain there.

The food is all over the place but the main theme is that everything is over-seasoned to please the crowd of people who all were gulping down colorful sugary cocktails with dinner while wearing athletic clothing. Peking duck (for 4-5) had great accompaniments (rare to actually get bao with it) but it was a lackluster portion of duck. Salt and pepper shrimp were offensively salted. Special "mignon" was great. The hand-pulled noodles *gasp* weren't hand pulled. "BBQ" chicken in the other noodles was very dry. Sea bass portion was very small. Scallion pancakes were good. Shrimp dumplings were the highlight. I recommend skipping this restaurant.

I used to live in NYC and cold peanut (or sesame) noodles were on every Chinese menu in the city. Weird that I have never seen them anywhere in San Francisco (or Dallas). They were just scrumptious, and I plan on making them with some grilled chicken next week for a dinner party. I would have liked some chopped scallions on top here, but this place is kinda "no frills". The scallion pancake was nice and crispy, maybe a little oily, but still excellent. Two friends and I split the noodles, the pancake, the mu shu pork and the General Tso's chicken. It all came out pretty fast. Strange too, that no chopsticks were offered.

Water closet located next to register. I most likely won't eat here any time soon.
