The lo mein is the best around -- perfectly balanced, flavorful, and consistently done right. The cream cheese puffs, dipped in both the hot sauce and sweet sauce, are genuinely exceptional. And the Kung Pao chicken is my sweetheart's standing order -- tender, well-seasoned, and never overly heavy. They also have cold beer and a charming, intimate little bar that is ideal for a glass of wine and a bite to eat. It feels relaxed, welcoming, and personal. One detail we especially appreciate: they always send out a small dessert as a gesture of thanks. It's thoughtful and speaks to how much they value their guests. We genuinely love coming here. It's become our tradition for a simple, reliable, and very enjoyable evening out.

I ordered the Stir Fry Spicy Beef, Mapo Tofu, and the Pork Belly. Everything was tasty and have no complaints as far as the actual flavors. I do think that the Mapo Tofu should always be soft tofu rather than firm, but that's just a personal preference. The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me. She was welcoming, funny, and we briefly argued how spicy food should really be for it to be enjoyable. "The spicier the better," me thinks. Come show these guys some love!

This spot doesn't look like much from the outside - it's takeout only it's no tables in the little waiting space. It looks like a tiny little spot where you can't even see the kitchen! But don't let it all fool you - the food is great! The prices are fairly reasonable, a bit steep it seems but the food does measure up. Staff is nice but not as transparent as they could be - some people were waiting in the store for a long time without any updates as to what the status of their order was.

Since on their online ordering there are two options for the won tons, one of them saying they are out of vegan cheese and to check back on Monday - the message had been up for weeks so I called them to make sure they had the cheese before I sent my order in. The employee I spoke to was very helpful and kind, he directed me to search for them on Google and order from there versus on their website since it wasn't accurate. He said he'd watch for my order and confirmed they had the cheese. When our food arrived the wontons were fairly cold but tasty, the rest of our food was hot thankfully. I got mock duck chow mein, general tso's tofu and my husband got the vegetarian egg foo young. All was fantastic and my chow mein lasted me for three meals. The mock duck was tender and juicy and veggies were fresh. Tofu was delicious and not spicy. Their menu is huge! I'm so happy they deliver to my work and my home.

This is my absolute go-to lunch anytime I'm near campus and need to grab something quick and filling--pro tip: keep the lid on the takeout container open until you're ready to eat to keep it crispy!!
