    I was hoping for bold flavors and comforting classics, but everything here fell flat. The dishes looked fine, but the taste just wasn’t there — no spice, no seasoning, no soul. It’s as if someone forgot the salt, soy sauce, and chili altogether. I am looking for a Chinese restaurant ( in my area) I can rely on but this is not it.

    The food and the service stand out here. Careful attention to dietary details. Knowledgeable and very pleasant waitress. And they serve Sizzling Rice Soup which we had never found elsewhere on the Peninsula. Highly recommended!!
