Amazing food and you have the perfect marriage of Chinese and Pakistani food. What a great place and a great deal. I will give it 6 stars if I could. We really enjoyed the food and we could afford it. Plenty of parking at this big strip mall and plenty of seating inside the place. Will return staff are amazing and nice. And especially Imran.

I am under the impression that this is the same restaurant as Tabaq, so I will copy my review from there: Very good halal Indo-Chinese fusion restaurant. The General Tso's, Sesame chicken, as well the Udon Noodles were all fantastic. The interior is also incredibly well decorated. Quick and efficient service, nice staff, and super clean. Great place for a family or date night out. Highly recommend!

Update January 2025- New wait staff with improved and speedy service!!! Delicious halal Chinese food for a great price. I asked to make it spicy upon ordering and they did not disappoint. We ordered the hot and sour soup as well as the chicken corn soup, shredded beef with shredded Long hot peppers, general Tso’s chicken, and noodles with chicken for our kids. Everything was delicious. Service was great. Soup portions are a little on the smaller side but appropriate for the price in my opinion. If you want to dine in, you can sit on the Tabaq side of the restaurant and eat there. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a nice halal Chinese spot!

Pretty decent place to check out. Only Complaints are when you’re waiting for your food they don’t bring you anything to munch on and seems like the waiter forgot bout the drinks I ordered. Had to keep reminding them to bring the drinks over. All in an all a decent place.

I’ve been a loyal customer of Dragon Palace for a while now, ordering catering for almost every family event. This time was beyond frustrating. I ordered 4 party trays (over $200) by phone, the same way I always do, but the trays that arrived were less than HALF the usual size. When I called, I was transferred around for 15+ minutes only to be told they had “changed portions and pricing” without updating the website or mentioning it on the phone. Basically, I was charged for mediums but given smalls, shorting me about $50 worth of food. Instead of fixing their mistake, the manager said he couldn’t because “the owner would get upset” since it happened with another customer recently. The only “solution” offered was for me to pay another $45–$80 per tray to correct their error. After going back and forth, I finally got two small trays, but only after sending someone out to pick them up while my guests were already at my house. In the end, I spent over $200 for tiny trays and a stressful, embarrassing experience. The food is good, but the dishonesty, lack of transparency, and refusal to take responsibility left me beyond disappointed.

Their dumplings and food from the chinese menu is always so good and spot on. It does get busy on the weekend so you might experience delays with your order but food is so yummy

Awesome halal chinese in NJ, authentic sichuan cuisine! We tried the chicken dumplings, chicken noodle soup, beef lo mein, three pepper chicken, beef in garlic sauce (sweet), general tsos, and the fried rice, everything was fresh and tasty!

The place looks very clean. I've ordered here a couple times only for picking up. The food overall tastes good. I like their fried rice and their orange chicken. They cook them Halal style, which makes it even more interesting. As far as I'm aware of, this place is only doing takeouts, like what I did. However, they do make reservations for special events, which I have not done as of yet.

Some of the best Chinese I have had ever. They are currently located and under managment from Tabaq. You can actually go into Tabaq and sit there if you want to dine in. This is a must try!!! We ordered szechuan chicken, noodle, rice, and beef with peppers. Everything was spot on and fresh. Don't miss out!

Dragon palace is reopen again however it's for take out and halal food only. The food still tastes delicious just like it used to be. Just no pork options.

Excellent Sichuan restaurant. Authentic Sichuan dishes and great service. Take out only, but you can take the food and dine in at Tabaq Restaurant (excellent restaurant also - authentic Pakistani food) next door. Tabaq owners own Dragon Palace (some type of ownership). I usually do take out from both Dragon Palace and from Tabaq. Dragon Palace now serves halal food only.

This has been the default place to eat for my family for nearly 20 years, so dragon palace has a special place in my heart. They've changed a lot over the years but we've consistently loved the boiled fish in hot oil, green beans, salt and pepper pork, a tofu skillet dish, and the free scallion pancakes with lunch. Sadly haven't dined in because of the pandemic this year, so haven't been able to eat any of the scallion pancakes or any of the soups. The prices are good, for a family of 4 we generally order 4-5 dishes and never spend more than ~$60ish. Since we've been eating here for 20 years, the owners are super friendly and eating there is always a pleasant experience.

Food was mediocre. The shrimp were a nice, large size but over all the sauce for the shrimp and broccoli seemed steamed or watery, not sautéed. And no napkins. Just ok.

Having late lunch here right now. We ordered Fish fillet with sweet and sour sauce. The fish fillet is fresh and so soft and tasty. Yang Chow fried rice has freshly ingredients and taste soooo good. Servings for one is big. They provide free appetizers like pickled veggies, porridge, hot and sour soup, hot fried slices of and tapioca with taro for dessert. Ambiance is good, clean and friendly atmosphere. This one Chinese restaurant that you need to discover.

What a good value for weekday lunch. For $8, you get to enjoy a pretty authentic dish and full access to the mini buffet which usually includes three soups, fried rice, and scallion pancake. Although these buffet items are pretty average, I can't complain because the price is so good! I have been here a few times and recommend these dishes: -The tofu on sizzling platter is very tender with a delicious gravy with peas and carrots -The water cooked fish is excellent. Well spiced and really something you should definitely get if you come here. I think I always get this when I come in a group haha -The beef tendon and vegetable tastes clean and refined. Would also recommend if you are into tendon If you are in the area during the weekday for lunch, definitely check Dragon Palace out. You will not be disappointed!

Value: 7/10 Experience: 7/10 Taste: 8/10 My family has been coming back to this place for years. The food is solid and not too expensive. They also have free soups/congee, pickled veggies, and scallion pancakes you can self serve. If you're looking for some solid and authentic Chinese food, this is the place to go. I highly recommend the fried fish!

Been going to this place since I was little, and safe to say I love their food. I love going for lunch, since they give out free scallion pancakes and soup to eat while you wait for the food you order. I always order their eggplant with fish, their Cantonese style noodles, dumplings in hot oil sauce, and pretty much whatever is their featured vegetable. Note- it does help bringing someone who speaks Chinese here, since most of the staff usually only speaks Chinese

Dragon Palace really has me torn. If you don't speak and can't read Chinese, you're basically SOL. Otherwise, this restaurant offer tasty, authentic Szechuan cuisine, completed with a mini-buffet of scallion pancakes, soup, and other quick and always-available starter dishes. The main thing with Dragon Palace is that their actual menu is entirely in Chinese. If you are looking for authentic Chinese food, you basically have to order in Chinese. Otherwise, you'll be saddled with some Americanized dishes and your entire experience ruined. Honestly, given the number of reviews asking for an English menu that preserves the authentic Chinese fare to no avail, I think this restaurant is trying to whittle/self-select their fan base to only the Chinese population. Once you get past the language hurdle, the food and experience are both great. The food is tangy and mildly spicy at times, and this is as close as I've gotten to decent, legitimately Szechuan fare in a long time, and definitely for the central New Jersey area. Good value, great food, authentic experience... you just have to speak Chinese to get it.

Quick place to stop by for lunch. They have a larger variety of dishes to choose from and all you can eat scallion pancakes, veggie fried rice and soups of the day. I tried the cumin beef, which was a simple stir fry vegetables and cumin seasoning. It was oily but flavorful. My friend had the double cooked pork which was basically stir fried leeks with the pork. If you enjoy lots of carb, this is a perfect place for lunch.

Cheap Szechuan food. I often come here once a month to get my fix during lunch. The day after is TMI. Ordering can be a challenge if you do not know Mandarin. If you're a Gwi Low try order something new. I always see them order chicken and broccoli. I shake my head in disgust because they can order that at any take-out place. Just ask them what's the best selling dish and they would be happy to bring it out. Just in case bring milk because most dishes are spicy!

Went here for dinner at 8pm last night, and we were the only table there. Ordered 3 dishes which all came out super quick: Cumin Beef, Bamboo shoots with pork, and stir-fried string beans. Cumin beef was lacking in cumin and the beef was over marinated and processed with baking powder that it lost some of the beef texture. Bamboo shoots with pork was under-seasoned, and the string beans were overly tough/old which made the veggies very stringy and hard to chew. When we arrived, they had their typical scallion pancake, hot & sour soup, millet congee, and taro dessert. The scallion pancake was deep fried and not pan-fried, the hot and sour soup was watery. By the time they brought the check over, they already took away the taro dessert! As the only table there, they could've given us the heads up that they were taking it away. Supposedly the sides are removed by 8:30pm, since they close at 9pm (or so they claim), but they didn't tell us that ahead of time either....what's worse, the hours on the door says they close at 9:30....not 9pm. Maybe they just make up their hours as they go. We were out the door by 8:50, and they refused service to the 2 other people that were coming in. It came out to $35+tax for the 3 dishes, with a cash discount. Been here several times, the service is definitely lacking every time, the quantity was just okay for the price, and overall left a lot to be desired.

I haven't been to this place before but it's been around for a long time. I came with almost my mom and dad and a gaggle of other relatives. The decor isn't super nice but I overlook decor if the food is good. The big draw for my family is the "free" stuff. Scallion pancake and soup. There's nothing a Chinese person likes more than free sh*t so that is a huge plus for my fam. My dad ordered a whole bunch of things and they all were really tasty. My Chinese is terrible, and the menu was in Chinese so I really can't help you with what exactly we got. There was a fried pork chop thing, green beans with black beans, a tofu dish that was fried on the outside, cumin fish, eggplant, noodles and fried rice, and this pickled vegetable dish that I never remember what it's called and my mom makes it and I always mixed it in with my rice. My entire family was happy and stuffed. And we brought it all home to eat again for dinner.

The only Chinese restaurant in the area that does authentic Chinese food and is not some Americanized Chinese take-out spot (you know when you see the restaurant filled with Chinese families). As typical, most of their good authentic menu items are on their Chinese menu only and not found on their English menu. English menu has a limited number of them. I usually call and ask if they have X, Y, Z based on past experience, and they usually say yes. Our go-to dishes are Shredded Beef & Long Hot Peppers (highly recommend if you want SPICY), Crispy Pan Fried Noodles (w/ beef or chicken), both of which are not on the English menu.

If you are not Chinese, just drive past this place and save your time. The first time I went tg here was with a Chinese person, and everything was great. Tried going there by myself and had a horrible experience. They will likely pretend that they didn't see you, even after you walk up to the counter and wait to be seated. If you're still not leaving, you might be able to get seated but again, it will take a long time before one of the waiters hanging around aimlessly choose to acknowledge your existence. Oh, and the real menu is in Chinese. Maybe I should have led with that.

Delicious authentic Chinese food, with many perks and a few negatives. This restaurant is located on Oak Tree Road in Edison, on the side of a small shopping center. It tends go be busy on weekends, but there shouldn't usually be a wait for a table. The inside is quite well-decorated. It looks like a typical Chinese restaurant: several 4-6 seater tables and a few large round tables with lazy susans at the center. The inside is dim, but clean and neat. There's a table at the center of the restaurant with complimentary all-you-can-eat appetizers/dessert: large pots of soup (porridge, hot and sour soup and sweet taro soup) and hot, yummy scallion pancakes. On that note, the complimentary sweet taro soup and scallion pancakes are absolutely delicious. The taro soup is sweet, hot and tasty--have a bowl for dessert. The scallion pancakes are crispy and hot, better than the ones at most Chinese restaurants and those aren't even free. As for the food, the dishes are classic Sichuan style with sharp, strong taste. The spicy dishes aren't that spicy, but I'm big on spice so that may not be the case for most people. The lunch menu is pretty reasonable, but the dinner menu is a little pricey (note: on weekends, lunch follows the dinner menu). On the dinner menu, main entrees are $11-18 while smaller dishes, like noodles or fried rice, are around $7-10. The portions are sizable, and you get a large complimentary bowl of rice. There are a few downsides though. Although one of the servers was very nice and accommodated all my requests quickly, in general you have to go out of your way to get things done. Servers won't be checking on you once all the food is on the table, so make requests when you're seated, when they come to take your order or when they're bringing dishes. Second, you're required to order at least one dish per person, as in if you have a 5-persons party you have to order at least 5 dishes. Lastly, the menu is completely in Mandarin Chinese. There may be a small English menu, but the main menu is only Chinese characters. This wasn't a problem for me because I could read most of the characters and I was with my parents, but obviously this could be a big problem for those who don't know Chinese. Overall, a fantastic authentic Chinese restaurant with great dishes and delicious complimentary pancakes/soups. If you dot have a problem with the downsides--as I didn't--I definitely recommend this place as one of NJ's best Sichuan restaurants.

The food, which for the most part, was very good, will be discussed a little later. My major recommendation is this is not the place to bring your kids or your in-laws. Since everything is Ala carte, they are not going to find the things they are used to ordering such as combination plates. Interestingly enough, and I have been to many "authentic" Chinese restaurants, they didn't have soup noodles (aka crackers) or even mustard. They only had "wasabi mustard". Can that really be? We arrived around 4PM and I asked about the soup and scallion bread, the waiter said he would check with the kitchen since it is only for lunch and dinner. In the meantime, a few minutes later, another couple arrive and they are pointed towards the table where there was apparently soup and bread. Our waiter did never get back to us about this. My MIL didn't like her egg roll and asked the waiter to take it off and remove it from the bill. Fortunately he did, otherwise I'd probably give this one one star for being totally unaccommodating. Our waiter was not rude but he was hardly helpful at all. The place needs a makeover. Just about every ceiling tile in the place had water stains and I'm talking brown ones. Time to replace, no? Our main courses; shrimp with lobster sauce, and seafood casserole with tofu were both very good and very large. The egg drop soup we ordered off the menu (since the waiter never got back to us on the complimentary soup) was also very large and very tasty. The soup and either of those dishes could easily be shared by 2. In summary, it was a good food experience but relatively indifferent service in a unhealthy looking atmosphere turned me off.

I have been going here for the past 7 years now. This place is absolutely fantastic. Everything is so spicy and flavorful. It's better than a lot of Chinese restaurants in Manhattan. This is one of my favorite Szechuan chinese restuarants. Additionally, the all you can eat scallion pancakes, hot and sour soup, congee, and sweet soup is definitely the cherry on top. I ordered the hot pot fish (very delicious). The fish was good, but the rice vermicelli was lackluster. The beef tripe appetizer is a staple with my family. We order it at every Szechuan restaurant, and this is one of the best places that makes it. I would definitely come back. There is nothing better than eating at this restaurant in the cold of winter and sweating off every chill that comes your way.

One of my favorite Chinese places in Edison so far. They serve primarily Sze Chuan dishes, which are usually spicy, so let the waiter taking your order know in advance if you would like it less spicy instead. Something I find unique to Dragon Palace is that they have a free flow section in the middle of the restaurant that offers two types of soup, the signature sour spicy soup and the heathy grain soup. On that table you can also find freshly pan-friend scallion pancakes which are nicer than a lot of other places that charge for them. At the end of your meal, stop by the table again for some dessert - delicious yam sago soup, my favorite! Now on to the dishes, I love their tofu. It's served one a hot plate lined with an omelette. The presentation of the dish draws me over instantly. One huge square sofu fried till crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, topped with seafood, vegetables and light sauce. It's the perfect balance to the other spicy Sze Chuan dishes we usually order. Another must have for us is the green pepper chicken cooked in red hot pepper, as well as the spicy tofu fish. We've had issues with the chicken in the past in which there would be occasions when the chicken was served overcooked. Usually the chicken would be tender and juicy if done correctly, in which the dish would be perfect. The free flow station of soups, appetizers and dessert is just the icing on the cake, and for me, especially the sweet yam sago dessert, seals the deal for making the trip out here.

I came to get takeout during lunch and there were two tables with people here. TWO. I ordered 4 full size dishes during lunch, for over $50. And asked the cashier if I can have a soup that was there.she said sure. I get soup and the owners chase me saying I not allowed to have the soup because I bought takeout! I even tipped 15%. I was angry about this and got them to give back the credit card purchase and paid with cash for tax-free and didn't re-tip. I've been eating here for over 10 years, pretty much want to never come back now.

This place could have more than a 3 star if the other food off the menu was actually great. The only great thing about this place is the scallion pancakes & the varieties of soup they serve. All of the food we ordered was all drenched in oil & their semi sweet specialty sauce with ever plate. Their food off the menu could have more effort. Service was okay too. They didn't pay much attention to us either. We ordered 3 same plate & they came out at different times...

First thing is...all you can eat onion pancakes, hot-n-sour soup, rice porridge, and dessert mung bean and tapioca soup "tang shui". Yes, this is one of those Chinese restaurants that have the separate menu for Chinese, so make sure you bring someone that can read the language; I bring my Beijing wife. Anyway, their food is quite authentic of the Sichuan province, so it's spicy and numbing (two of my favorite things!). There are many dishes to choose from and also many non-spicy food, like the milk and lamb hot pot. It's a simmering cauldron of lamb bones and chinese herbs, and milk, i.e. giving it a milky appearance and flavor. Another good dish is their sauteed egg plant - sweet and savory (what a combination).

You should never judge a book by its cover and that is definitely the case for this Sichuan restaurant. The strip mall and location aren't the nicest but the food is legit. This place gives you unlimited scallion pancakes, and hot and sour soup to go with your meal. Not only that, the food is well priced and comes out fast! A group of 8 ordered 8 dishes and they all came out in less than 10 minutes. We came around 530pm so they weren't too busy yet. I had to mention that they were insistent on our group of 8 ordering at a minimum of 8 dishes. We originally ordered 7 and they were insistent. This is probably because they want people to order more instead of eating scallion pancakes lol. That's the only con I've experience about this restaurant. Plenty of parking in the strip mall and service overall is good.

Fantastic Chinese food in the middle of Little India (aka Oak Tree Road in Edison NJ). Spicy authentic Sichuan cuisine!! Can't beat the delicious all-u-can-drink soup and congee!! Met the restaurant owner. Super nice guy!!!

BYOB. What can I say, this place remains decent. Service and environment are excellent. The food is good, but not great. Prices are very good. Was here two-three months ago during early weekday lunch and someone approached table with sign asking for money. Restaurant quickly ushered them away, offering free food. Good or bad, I shall leave up to you, but it dominated the visit. Was here month later with a group of twenty and everything was perfect.

I've gone here for years with my family and it's always so good. The food here is authentic Sichuan cuisine and definitely delicious. The freebies such as the scallion pancake and sweet yam soup are always something to look forward to. It's a bit difficult I know for non-Chinese families to order here but don't worry because many of the guests here are native Chinese people and give great suggestions. My favorites here are the Tofu on Iron Pan, Eggplant with Fish, and Fu Qi Fei Pian. Definitely come to this restaurant if you want authentic food.

So this is a pretty traditional Chinese restaurant, Chinese menus, specials on the board only written in Chinese, everyone eating there was Chinese- kinda place. I got take out, and mostly american-style Chinese food. Scallion pancakes were awesome. Thick, good crunch, and you get a ton in 1 order. Loved it. Also loved the vegetable lo mein. 5 stars for those. General Tsao's had almost a nutty flavor, but a nice crunch and quality chicken. 3 stars. The steamed dumplings were 10 to an order, which was nice, but had an almost overwhelming star anise flavor. Luckily the dipping sauce was excellent and saved the dumplings. 2 stars of the dumplings, 5 for the sauce. Egg roll was large and had a ton of oil in it. 1 star. Not good. They take AMMEX and there was plenty of parking. I liked the food here, but I'm not in a hurry to go back. Still though, better than average.

I've been coming here for years, the food has always been consistently amazing. It is one of my favorite go to lunch spots. The owner is very friendly the staff is very helpful and the food is as authentic as you can get especially for the price. I normally get General Tso's chicken or sesame chicken, a lot of chicken dishes as you could see and they are all always beyond amazing.

Yum!! For a Chinese place I dunno why but I've always been a fan of Dragon Palace the food never fails to be anything less then amazing!!! I don't like American Chinese I like authenticity and Dragon Palace has it!! It's BYOB the food is very well prices and it's ambience is fine too. Listen it's not takeout it's clean fast service! Got my food under 10 minutes. Free soup and scallion pancakes is a plus in my books!! I was just sad they didn't have the hot pepper to my favorite shredded chicken and long hot pepper dish :( until next time......

Authentic Sze Chuan food. We got 3 dishes: fish fillet with eggplant, sweet and spicy shredded pork with bamboo shoots (slightly spicy), and tofu on iron plate. All three tasted really great! They provide you with a bowl of white rice, and there is a buffet-type section in the middle, where you can help yourself to scallion pancakes, pickled cabbage, (mung bean?) porridge, hot and sour soup, and one of my personal favorites: taro dessert soup with tapioca balls. When the waiter brings out freshly made scallion pancakes, make sure to grab some before everyone else takes it!

Originally recommended to me by a co-worker, who swears that this is one of the best if not the best authentic Szechuan restaurants in NJ, I have now been here about 5 times in the past 3 months. I brought my father along and he also rants and raves about the food in this restaurant. 1st of all, forget about the English/American menu. The good stuff is in the Chinese menu and it is literally in chinese. Some other Chinese restaurants have a translated Chinese menu but not Dragon Palace. That is the only complaint I have, and its not a valid complaint as I am Chinese and should know or force myself to learn how to at least read and write Manadarin. So we have to be at the mercy of the waiters and manager. We tell them what we like, seafood or beef, spicy or not spicy and then they will recommend some dishes. Dishes of note: 1. Chinese Squash with a whiteish non-spicy sauce (awesome and refreshing) 2. Shrimp & Scallops with lotus and and asparagus (awesome) 3. Water Spinach (Kang-khong) sauteed in garlic sauce. I will be back with my Chinese friend to help out in selecting some new dishes for us. The restaurant's decor is typical chinese sit-down restaurant. Traditional. Good tea. Ample parking.

The best way as Billy C. suggests is to order from the Chinese Menu. If you can't read Chinese, ask them for their Lunch Menu. The Lunch Menu actually lists the authentic Chinese dishes (in English) that are most popular here (Beef in Water, Cumin Beef, Bacon with Leeks, Bacon with Garlic Vinegar, MaPo Tofu). They will serve you a larger portion during dinner. This IS the place in NJ for authentic Schezuan fare. The service is pretty decent, but the food is absolutely fantastic. Its a BYOB, so don't forget to take a nice Gewurztraminer or a Riesling with you.

Best Szechuan food I ever had. Anyone that knows me knows that I love me some exceptional authentic ethnic food of any type especially w/ my obsessive Asian chow persuasions. Thanks to a couple fellow yelpers I have made the acquaintance of yet another magnificent eatery. For starters pancakes w/ hot sour soup or wonton soup or cabbage chicken soup all complementary and all wonderful I especially loved the hot and sour soup probably the best I've ever had. The hot fish Tibet's is Hot baby & tasty. Coupled along with beef chili casserole to absolutely die for. There was a wonderful flavor explosion mixed with heat if you're a heat type of a guy or gal that had my tongue dancing in delight. Yes I devoured and entire pitcher of h20 & tea while the sweat poured out of me in a wonderful way. Perhaps a bit oily but its so good once it touches your lips. The pure authentic presentation & intense flavors had me captivated from soup to dessert. I rarely bang out 5 stars after 1 visit not to mention at all. Don't miss this one kids. I can hardly wait to return to clear my sinuses and pat my brow down and dig into to some amazing Asian goodness and so should you. After a 2nd visit (Beef Cumin w/ veggies hmm hmm) it's safe to stamp a 5 rating!

Very rude when I called in to place a order. Then hung up the phone on me after they did not have any shrimp egg rolls. When I wasn't done with my order. Did not even care or show any remorse

Ordered silk melon, spicy lamb, and rabbit. Don't let the name fool you, this place has a traditional Chinese menu and they know how to cook it. Great taste, good portions as well. They have a free salad and soup bar while you wait.

An authentic Chinese restaurant. You might want to order from the Chinese menu. The staff is friendly to recommend dishes. Very reasonably priced. Comes with unlimited soup and hot dessert and sides. I havent had a bad dish here. Most of the stuff I ordered, even not being able to read the characters, came out awesome. They also provide americanized version, which isn't my thing.

The recent visit of this establishment had been a disappoint one. For some reason, the fish was half cooked and the spicy pork liver had very stinky aftertaste. The waiter agree took off the fish dish from the menu but add 4 dollars on the bill for the complementary scallion pancake and hot and sour soup. Apparently, there is a new rule states that each person of a party must order a dish in order to enjoy this complementary for free. And since one dish took off the menu (we were party of six), this rule is taken into effect. We tried to communicate with the owner about the unpleasant experience but the owner insist the charge stays on the bill. We regret that we didn't report to the health department right then and there. Diner beware: the heavy and spicy dishes can be a great enjoyment; however, it also numb the sensory of tasting and leave room for using subpar quality ingredients. Please be extra carful on the quality of the food.

Okay, Broccoli in Garlic sauce shared with Mixed Vegetables and Tofu does not have much room to go wrong -- and it did not! But going here on a snowy day with a lot of people still digging out during the lunch hour, only to find us as the only non Asian table eating, must say something a lot deeper than our menu selections. Now if I only knew someone who could help with the Chinese menu...

An average Chinese restaurant overall. It's definitely tailored towards Chinese who loves spicy food (szechuan/hunan style). We do come here occasionally when we crave for their one of a kind sizzling tofu plate. We also enjoy their cumin beef/lamb and their appetizer of sliced beef & ox tongue. Every time we decided to try other dishes, we would end up in regrets. We are not overly excited but do enjoy their complimentary all-you-can eat pancakes and soups.
