Ordered via DoorDash. The dasher had quite a few drop-offs along the way, so my food arrived quite late. The dish was sadly barely warm by the time I received it.
Today, I ordered the Sweet & Sour Chicken with a side ofJasmine Jasmine Rice (Large)
TLDR - food was tasty, but the value not not quite there. It's quite expensive for such a small portion.
For an la carte dish, I was disappointed to find the portion size of the sweet and sour chicken to be rather small, considering it's 20 bucks.
Even more upsetting is the "large" jasmine rice that is noted on the website to feed 2-3 people. That carton is tiny (like the size of a baseball?) and can only be considered a maximum of one person's portion. It cost me $4.40 to get the large rice. I finished the entire tiny carton in one sitting and still felt unsatiated. I cannot fathom what the "small" jasmine rice entails if what I got was the large size.
OK, now that I listed my disappointments, I will have to admit, the food was good. The sweet and sour chicken, though lukewarm by the time I got it, was still slightly crispy at the edges. The sauce was perfectly sweet-tangy and enveloped the meat and veggies. The idea of charring the fresh (not canned) pineapple was an excellent touch and helped emulate the taste of a smoky wok. It was very delectable. I only wish I had more to eat.
The rice, though the portion was sadly pitiful, was fluffy, soft, and fragrant. It paired well with the chicken.
Today's order to me really felt more like a 3.5 stars. I didn't even get utensils, even though I had requested some. Sigh...The food was tasty, so round up to 4 stars.

Sweet and sour chicken was way too sour and not very sweet from the hawthorn, white rice was mushy and overcooked, and the mala cucumbers were drenched in this flavorless yet bitter cream that had no seasoning or spice at all. Extremely overpriced and disappointing food

Omg this order was fire!! The new Potsticker Poppers (Pork)are amazing--where have these been my whole life? The Sweet & Sour Chicken (House Special) and Mapo Tofu with Pork (House Special)are the faves in our home, and so glad we also tried the Broccoli & Mushrooms (House Special), it was so flavorful. Mamahuhu, pls keep up the excellent and delicious dishes that I can enjoy in the comfort of my own home

Rice Plate was delicious and full of flavor! I loved the spice and crispness of the Lazi Chicken. It was so well balanced and cooked to perfection. The cucumber cools it down nicely and has a tasty glaze. Will definitely order again. Thank you

I am giving this place a 3 out of 5 only because of flavor. The amount of beef in the Broccoli & Beef (House Special) makes me wonder why they don't just call it Broccoli & Kale with a side of beef. In my opinion there should be more beef especially for the price. Flavor is good though but it is really an entire bowl of broccoli and kale and if that's what you want then go for it.
