"In the tagline of this quick-casual mom-and-pop hot spot, “tradition-inspired Chinese cuisine,” the word “inspired” is doing a bit of heavy lifting, as the kitchen takes liberties with ingredients like corned beef, mozzarella, and ranch dressing. But whether classic or creative, the results make for a good-time group feast. Make sure it includes at least one order of crab rangoon and the sizzling spicy noodles, which hit the spot alongside a cocktail laced with galangal, salted plum, or Sichuan peppercorn." - Ruth Tobias
