Good flavor in the Chinese quick-stir dishes! Small dinner portions but still very good overall.
I got the Ginger and Garlic entree with tofu (substituted for chicken). The seasoning is a great balance of spicy, salty, and slightly sweet. Not overly salty or vinegary, which are common problems with Asian restaurants in North Carolina. And the tofu is deep fried in large cubes, giving a nice chunky texture to my veggie version of this dish.
My wife really liked the General Mao's chicken, although there weren't quite enough vegetables in it for her liking.
We'll definitely order from here again, but probably for lunch since the dinner portions are on the small side.

This place is never bad but is priced as if it's really good... which it's not. I really want to like it, but the quality is much lower than the price point, which will be their undoing. The Sesame Chicken was dry and chewy, and the portion was relatively small. Can't justify spending $22 on that anymore.

3 stars because my wife liked her chicken Pad Thai. However, the General Mao's was not good. The chicken pieces were overcooked, tough, and dry. The sauce tasted like a slightly sweetened, and overly salty soy sauce. No depth. Also, I paid for extra chicken in the General Mao's and it didn't even fill the container it came in.

Sesame chicken was really dry - both the chicken and the dish as a whole. Not much sauce there at all, and the portion was really small for the cost.

Wonton Soup is amazing, super great flavor to both the broth and wonton. The David's Original Half Fried Dumplings are great too, the dipping sauce really puts them over the top.
