    I don't often write reviews. And usually barely read them. Most the time it's people complaining about expecting Michelin service at a hole in the wall, or stupid stuff like "if I fly to Japan I can get a better bowl of ramen", But am leaving this review for one thing only. Potstickers. Whoever makes them and cooks them here is top notch, a king/queen amongst us. I like many other restaurants for many other things. But the potstickers here are so damn good- not too much dough, light fry with almost no burn, it's *chefs kiss* and the tangy sauce (soy with vinegar? I have not reverse engineered) they sometimes include with delivery is fantastic as well. There are other good dishes here eg the spicy beef tendon and couples delight appetizers also very good, since they include veggies with it. But seriously the potstickers (quo tie) here, try them.

    Really good Chinese, a bit different than the standard Chinese spot - Szechuan. The spicy fried chicken or spicy fried fish is worth it if you just got that. We usually go with the shredded garlic pork, spicy fish, fried rice, garlic eggplant. Got the Mongolian beef before as well. Super good - fresh, spicy, and delicious. Haven't tried the weird stuff but the go to's are always super good!

    I came for lunch time on a weekday and it was very quiet and also fast, we got the food within like 10 minutes. It is a great place to eat some of your favorite Chinese dishes like Mongolian beef, hot & sour soup, cumin lamb, or try something new. It's not overly spicy either, but full of flavor.
