If you're thinking about coming here on Sunday, get ready to throw elbows with the Episcopalians around 1230. I was seated at 1145. I was the only person in the house, but boy, did it fill up fast. Had the luncheon special Kung Pao chicken. Filling and full of flavor. Wasn't that spicy, so be adventurous and try it. Lunch comes with soup or egg roll / steamed or fried rice.
Great food and service. Prices here were not as expensive as some of the other Chinese restaurants. The atmosphere wasn't super fancy, but it was pleasant.
Great food, great prices, and quick service. You'll spend less here than at mcdonald's for more food of better quality and shorter wait time.
