A culinary staple with a notably turbulent relationship with its patrons, this Chinese eatery manages to blend a dynamic menu with mixed operational ups and downs. The restaurant has upheld some enduring dishes, like the hot crispy pancake rolls and special chow mein, which are often praised for their flavorful profiles. While quick preparation times might hint at diligence, they sometimes result in lukewarm meals due to extended delivery waits. Frequent discrepancies—missing items and delayed deliveries—suggest an urgent need for service improvement. Despite this, elements of consistency shine through, especially in their staple offerings like the salt and pepper sharing box. With long-time patrons spanning several years, the establishment persists through myriad critiques, seemingly driven by an underlying culinary promise that retains loyal customers. As operational adjustments continue, there may still be merit in exploring its comprehensive lineup of savory delights.
