Everything was fabulous! Great flavorful moist Half Peking Duck - 北京烤鸭 半套with crispy skin. Lo mien looks unassuming but was smokey and delicious. Even the C2 - Shrimp & Chive Crystal Dumplings - 韭菜虾饺 traveled well. Appreciated the spice in the F2 - Hot & Sour Soup - 酸辣汤 and everything was packed really well. Will absolutely order again, so much I need to try. Also, received everything in the order, which is rare on door dash these days.

Soup and beef are excellent as always, however the G1 - Dry Chili Chicken - 重庆辣子鸡 , especially for the price, was small, overcooked, and tasted like fast food fried chicken. Im sure they will do better next time. Generous with utensils, thank you.

I am sad to say that this food tasted like Sysco industrial foods tried their hand at Chinese cuisine. The B1 - Shanghai Vegetable Spring Roll (2) - 上海春卷 were genuinely repellant. They tasted like frozen vegetables were put in a wonton skin and par fried. The Mongolian Beef - 蒙古⽜柳 was decent. The General Tso's Chicken - 左宗鸡 was just unwieldy. Chinese food is supposed to be bite sized. This was golf ball sized knots of chicken in very little sauce. The result was I needed a steak knife to cut them into edible chunks.

I ordered the sliced beef tenderloin in golden soup and chicken in scallion garlic. Both tasted exceptionally good, fresh and flavorful. The waitress was very friendly when helping with my takeout order. One con is they were a bit pricy compared to the size. Half bowl of the beef in soup were vegetables. I really like the chicken in scallion and garlic. The skin was so crispy yet the meat is juicy.

I think this place might have the best Chinese I've ever had.
Dry Chili Chicken really good but not the best for delivery since it's fried. String beans & pork dumps 10/10. Green Bean Jelly & Never Forget Chicken had my mouth numb and tingling but not too spicy
