Amazing! Great authentic Chinese food! (Szechuan cuisine)…read more The owners are super nice if you eat in, but I usually get it door dashed over. Portions are large and the food is well cooked and fresh! I usually get the chengdu chicken, the beef with fresh hot veggies and the egg plant with garlic. Usually whatever is on the Szechuan cuisine list is my go to lol! Definitely a great addition to Middletown! Go try it out! Won't be disappointed!

Definitely I will. So the warm Dan Dan noodles were good, well spiced, but not overwhelming and noodles themselves were chewy. Sizzling shrimp, first huge jumbo shrimp so very generous on portions, plus cooked just right and bathe completely in the sauce, plenty of diced onions and peppers and mildly spicy over all. Chicken in chili oil was my favorite, I mean a whole cut chicken fit in that container, both white and dark meat, was tender and moist, plus the chili oil was just right spicy level without being assertive. This place I find special considering it's more of authentic Chinese cuisine rather than the typical Americanized version, that alone is a big draw for this place.

Had to get someone attention to order in, kind of weird but it was fast enough. So when The guy was showing me the menu, was cool of him to make suggestions since first time for me, he did jokingly say the end part of menu is popular since the Americanized Chinese food, I laughed and am like nah am here for the traditional, he give his suggestions in the traditional menu of what's popular, but I settled on beef ribs, white rice, pork dumplings and strawberry boba slush. For the drink, it was very refreshing and just the right amount of sweet, though I wish it had strawberry boba over the tapioca pearls. The pork dumplings were piping hot and very fresh, plenty of filling inside and not greasy. The dipping sauce was tangy and very vinegary forward, definitely a flavor trip. The beef ribs, were so melt in your mouth tender and flavorful, I really like gravy type sauce it was bathed in and really great ladled on the rice. Do wish I had more ribs though, since definitely the part of the meal, plus the plate it comes on, sells the meal. I did really appreciate how kind the people were here and very friendly as well.

They got some potstickers from the store and didn't even cook them properly and sold them as dumplings. They have absolutely no flavor, even the sauce didn't help because the sauce isn't made how it should be either. If they are going to make this kind of change at least tell customers when they order the item because to go from the homemade dumplings with the thick dough to this is a bit disrespectful to customers who order the same items. Wings were good as usually but wtf is this!!!! Change them back!!!

The chicken and broccoli is delicious! Hubby enjoyed his Hunan beef and egg roll! The lo mein was very good, lots of veggies and cooked well. The dumplings are good but the sauce they come with was a tad greasy and spicy- different from what I'm used to. Please be prepared- it's a cash only establishment but they have an ATM. The employees are very nice and they made sure to ask me if additional sauces were needed. Their prices I felt were reasonable and seem a bit lower than most Chinese restaurants in the area. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu!

Now rushing to get orders is great, but wish slowed down bit since they forgot plastic wear and I got lucky to get some hot oil for meal prior to leaving. White rice was great, glad it was not fluffy and a drier grain. Teriyaki beef was tender and so well seasoned, plus not drowned in sauce like other places, but for price, wish they give bigger cuts that actually go halfway down the skewers. Bit of short change on that. Now triple delight, chicken and beef were tender and so good, all veggies no complaints and shrimp was pretty large, no salad size ones here.
