My family has been going here for probably over 10 years. Never have we ever once had an issue, have visited the restaurant at least 30 times. Probably closer to 50 haha. Very good authentic food, fair prices, excellent service! Would definitely recommend trying atleast once if you like Chinese food.

I stopped in for the lunch special and was genuinely impressed from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere is calm, clean, and beautifully designed, and it immediately sets the tone for a great meal. I ordered the Wild Pepper Chicken lunch with white rice, along with the hot and sour soup that my server recommended. Both were outstanding. The soup was rich, balanced, and full of flavor, much better than anything I’ve had elsewhere. The chicken dish was colorful, fresh, and incredibly flavorful with the perfect amount of heat. I also asked for jasmine green tea, and it came in a small pot that made the whole experience feel even more thoughtful and relaxing. The service was kind, the food was delicious, and the ambiance was truly lovely. This is a place I will absolutely return to. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality Chinese meal in the area.

This is a terrific traditional Chinese-American restaurants with an extensive menu. There are many booths that although a bit tight, offer privacy for four people. The food is absolutely delicious. The scallion pancake is remarkable as is General Tso's Chicken. Portion sizes are generous. Only disappointment was the overly spicy and tough lamb. Great service! Prepare to wait on line during busy meal times.

Great Dan Dan noodles and perfectly cooked green beans! The vibe of the restaurant is warm and inviting — definitely a place I’d be coming back to. But honestly, the standout surprise was the bread — so simple, yet absolutely delicious. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying. Highly recommend for anyone looking for bold, authentic Asian flavors in Westchester!

What a wonderful dining experience!! Everything was amazing and the staff were wonderful. My only critiques are: scallion pancakes, deep fried instead of traditional. The oil was tooo much. Sesame noodles not so great, not enough peanut butter, sauce runny, no sesame seeds. Everything else was delicious and amazing.

Fantastic, ornate, atmosphere, clean restroom. Wonderful service. Attentive, respectful, from the time we walked in to paying the bill, all around a good experience. “Spicy” dish was bland. Geriatric bland. Food was moderately flavorful and I’d like to try more dishes but lacks diversity in its ingredients. Ashamed to say many of the menu dishes I can make at home. Come for the convenience.
