It needed the dips. Pot stickers were large and plump, but the contents were raw. Is that pork or chicken in it? Whichever, the cold raw contents gave us the creeps. The 'dry fried' spareribs were chopped up bits of pork and bone, deep fried. Not so much seasoning, no sauce (hence the 'dry') and quite forgettable. Princess shrimp was nice, albeit a very American-Chinese dish. The service and ambiance were nice enough, but the food was substandard. We didn't get the onion pancake, gummy and not too much flavor.

The dishes were plentiful, we had beef chow fun and it was mediocre, also had the portobello mushrooms with shrimp, the mushrooms were sliced so thin you could practically read through them and not many of them but the sauce on the shrimp was tasty. The 3 of us gave it a c -, and all decided we'd never go back, there are too many better Chinese restaurants in the city.

It was wonderful! The service was so friendly, they brought my 4 yr old a treat at the end. I really appreciated the freshness of the ingredients. We got hometown chicken which was tastey and had lots of crunch veggies cut thinly and beautifully. It was not mushy, which I really appreciated. I'd given up on finding a Chinese restaurant and here it is so close. Plus they deliver. My life just went up a notch! We went as this is close to where we live and we've never tried it.
