Better than average with huge portion sizes. I really enjoyed the eggplant as well as the Dan Dan noodles. The hot and sour soup came in a huge bowl, but was just ok. The fried soft shell crab was served in pieces (rather than whole) and was good but better when eaten with the other foods.

My favorite item from this restaurant is their Sichuan fish slices that come in spicy soup with lettuce and bean sprouts on the bottom. It warms your belly and pairs perfectly with white rice. The inside has a lot of space and was relatively spacious at night. We also ordered a side of the chilled chicken slices and it was amazing. It was my first time trying something like this and the peanut butter sauce and sesame seeds worked so well.

Wow! It reminded me a little of the Dr. Who police box, tiny and unassuming on the outside and opens to wonders. This place looks like an old barely surviving restaurant from the outside, and opens into a newly updated beautiful interior. There's sometimes only one person handling those seated inside... and with plenty of packing for pick up and delivery... she's often really busy. But always with a smile, and a help. Right off the bat we were offered a free bowl of soup. I had the hot and sour, and it was spicy, but not killer spicy... just right. Everyone got different main courses, and no one was disappointed. The fried dumplings were slightly more popular in our party than the steamed ones. The main dishes (I had the tripe) were all cooked just right and had a kick... but NOT a boot to the face. No room for dessert, so I can't report on that. The portions were all generous.

I came here on a recent Saturday night for a late night dinner in the downtown area. We were looking for a sit down restaurant open late, which seems rare these days. It's refreshing to see a restaurant stay open past 10pm on the weekend, in this case, until 2am, especially below Houston Street. The restaurant was not particularly packed probably given the timing but we were hungry so we ordered the beef chow fun, some sauteed greens, some veggie dumplings, and some Szechuan lamb dish. Our food was made fairly quickly and was tasty. The Szechuan lamb dish definitely had a bit of a kick to it. The greens were good. Chow fun was good too. The portions were big. If I'm being honest I've definitely had better Chinese food and the ambiance is fine for what it is. But it's hard to find a good sit down restaurant open late these days downtown.
