So I drive by here pretty frequently and thought I'd stop in since they had been open about a month now. Located inside the strip mall (where the old Jerusalem Cafe used to be), I arrived with my partner around lunch time. The restaurant was moderately busy, with nice booths and an open floor plan, which looked clean.
We sat at a booth and things started going a bit down from there. The server was very friendly and attentive, which was nice. He brought us hot tea and waters and asked what we would like. The menu is smaller than most American Chinese restaurants, but if you do dishes well, that can be a bonus. We ordered pot stickers as an appetizer, with my partner getting the Mongolian chicken and I getting the house fried rice.
As we sat waiting, I noticed the soy sauce container was caked in old soy sauce. Like, weirdly so. So I swapped it out for another one on an empty table. The server brought the pot stickers over and set them down with sauce and left. Interestingly, there were no little plates for us to eat the potstickers on so it was a bit messy to share. The sauce was unlike any potsticker sauce I've ever had. It was cloyingly sweet, and syrupy in texture. The pot stickers themselves were good though. When I attempted to use soy sauce, I found out why the other one had been caked in it. I found out why the other one had been caked in it.. since for some reason the soy sauce didn't come out of them very easily and almost had to be shook out. Then my partners Mongolian chicken came out. The white rice was good, if a touch dry. The chicken wasn't bad, but it was a tad bland overall. My house fried rice came next, which I think was probably the best dish we had. The prices for the portions (17.95 and 18.95 for the entrees, 11.95 for the potstickers) seemed a lil high for the quality/portions, but I get that folks gotta account for inflation and that sort of thing.
I don't think we'd be back. While it wasn't bad, it also wasn't a great experience for fifty dollars, and I think there are other places locally that tend to do a better job. I do hope they do well though, I just didn't find it to my taste.
