Finally got around to trying this place after a recommendation from friends.
I wasn't entirely hungry, but still wanted a good array, so here's what we got!
1. Chow Mein with Hand Shaved Noodles and Tofu! (just a note they charge extra for tofu, even though veggie is an option): the noodles were delicious and flavorful! This was by far the best dish and I would come back for it.
2. Green Onion Pancake: I loved how crispy this pancake was and the dipping sauce was extremely complimentary. Slightly more grease then normal, but so delicious.
3. Soup Dumplings: I always have to try these when I go to Chinese places. The dumplings were flavorful, HOWEVER, the skin was so thick that when you put it in your mouth, it just doesn't taste great. I ended up ripping a good chunk of the dumpling skin off just to eat these. Definitely wish it was a thinner dumpling.
4. Walnut Shrimp: so normally I love this dish. I am not huge in mayo, but know its a large part of this dish. However most places can balance the flavors pretty well. This place completely missed the mark. The entire shrimp was breading in the shape of a shrimp and just mayo all the way. It didn't even taste like your typical walnut shrimp, just straight breading and mayo. Definitely pass on this dish.
I think the most upsetting dish was the shrimp, especially for its almost $20 price tag.
In addition we had to call over the server for plates, waters, and to even take our order. They do prioritize to-go, so I would opt for that next time.
Finally, they completely forgot our noodles. They handed us the check since all the dishes on the table were empty, but then we had to remind them our noodles had not come out. They apologized and 20 mins later we had our noodles.
The overall experience was not what I was hoping for. So I would opt for take out next time, and just ordering noodles and green onion pancakes!
