Yang Zhou Fried Rice was Really good. Perfect in my opinion. Flavor was good, cooked well. Szechuan Dumplings were excellent. Shanghai Spring Rolls were good too. Good portion sizes, good price.

Everything was fresh but overpriced in my opinion. The flavor of the Crab Rangoons 酥炸蟹角 was very different and they didn't have an adequte amount of filling. You only get 4 for the price. The shrimp Fried Rice (W. Egg) (Choice Available) 特色炒饭(鸡、牛、虾、猪、素菜或什锦) was also lacking flavor, and you only get 4 shrimp. I wish the Egg Drop Soup 蛋花汤 came with crispy fried wonton, but it was tasty and appears they use quality eggs (very deep color & rich flavor). I had never tried the Chinese Cabbage (Hunan Style Or Chili Stir Fried Or W. Crystal Noodle) 包菜(手撕、炝炒、粉丝) before, but it was pretty good! Could've used a bit more salt.

Boiled Beef In Spicy Szechuan Sauce 水煮牛肉 is good menu if you have a partner. Since it is oily, salty and spicy like common Chinese local traditional food, you wouldn't be able to finish it alone at once.
For the taste, I can confirm that it is actual local Chinese style. So, I cannot easily recommend for those who are not familiar with local traditional Sichuan Style Chinese food.

So this is where you go if you want that authentic Chinese food! The chicken dish wasn't for us but the scallion pancakes were good and I'd love to try out more of the menu.

I read the reviews and dec to give their #1 dish Dry Chef Special Dry Chili Chicken 香辣仔鸡 a try. I was kinda unimpressed. Little chicken scraps covered in breading and lost in a bowl of dry red peppers. Maybe thats what others love, just not me. The egg Chicken Egg Rolls 鸡肉春卷 and soup were bland. My soup container was 1/3 full. So people were right to warn of small portions. Once was enough for me..
