Description
Operating from a modest strip mall, this spot prepares fresh Cantonese and Szechuan classics. Beyond the standard fare, diners highlight the hot and sour soup, prepared with black pepper heat, wood ear mushrooms, and bean curd. The beef lo mein stands out for its savory sauce and tender beef, while the shrimp rolls and wanton soup draw return visits from out-of-borough diners. Meals generally arrive piping hot, though service can occasionally be rigid if there is a mix-up.
