Ordered from here twice thus far. First time ordered the beef short rib noodles and the steamed shrimp dumplings. The shrimp dumplings, while super pricey, are amazing. Great texture, light and fresh flavor, tender, great sauce. Would order these several times over. The beef short rib noodles had good flavor but beware this is on the cultured side. Its not tender hunks or pieces of short rib, its pretty much all rib tendon/gristle and next to no actual meat. Which isnt for everybody. The second time I ordered the shrimp dumplings again (fine again), crab rangoons, and boneless spare ribs. The crab rangoons are a tad disappointing. They are pretty much all cream cheese. I love cream cheese but in this dish I normally anticipate some scallions and pieces of imitation crab meat and a little seasoning. Just tastes like fried stuffed cream cheese with maybe one tiny pink fleck inside of each one that you cannot taste at all. And no red sauce for dipping to even potentially trick yourself into thinking these are the crab rangoons you may know and love. The spare ribs were not good. They were chewy/hard and had a sort of rubbery flavor to them but also soggy. Almost as if they had been frozen in a ball of ice and boiled down quickly to thaw, then served. They didnt even come with rice as most places provide but that would be a waste because these did not have any sauce on them anyway. Friendly staff.

Really a disappointment. The old place that occupied this location (chili szechuan) was quite good, I believe they moved to 42nd and Walnut... The new place kept their styling, but is not nearly as good. The tempura vegetables are so overcooked they all taste the same. The service is, well, frustrating. Most recently I requested they not add shrimp to my meal as I am allergic. When I arrived to pick it up, they told me they added shrimp. Flummoxed, I asked why they would do this. Three of their staff was unable to communicate any sort of coherent answer, and instead advised me to "throw it out." Again, disappointing.

Ordered the 2 Cali roll special from grub hub from Okawa. Delivery service was fine but when the food arrived there were no chopsticks, the rolls were warm, and there was no cucumber inside of the California roll. When I called to have my order corrected, I was told they serve theirs without cucumber. I clearly stated that on the menu it listed the ingredients in their roll and cucumber was one of them. I then asked for a replacement with all three ingredients. But was told they do not have any cucumber in the restaurant whatsoever. Never again.

Have done takeout twice. It appears to be a family owned place. Three generations present both times. They are friendly and prepared my order quickly when I called ahead and when I ordered in person. Had shrimp pad thai 2x, steamed tofu and mixed veg, shrimp fried rice, chicken and broccoli w beown sauce. All tastey and what I wanted. They are a step up from the takeout only experience. There are a couple of other decent takeout places in the. Neighborhood, but these folks are my new favorite.

Tried the spicy and hot chicken chefs special. The spicing is actually pretty good, unfortunately thats it. Its more just greasy fried dough bits then actually chicken. I would say about 25% of it is really just grease soaked bits of dough. This is pretty gross. Not good at all. Plus about 1 in 5 bits tasted burnt. No sauce to go with it to speak of and served with white rice. This could have used some broccoli or bok choy. Would never go back. Wow.

Food was great but,.......The driver was rude. My order was $12.65. He got to my door and told me it was $13. I have him a $20 bill and upon giving me my change he asked for a tip. I explained to him that it wasnt my money and therefore i couldnt just do with the change as I pleased. He caught an attitude with me and told me not to order delivery anymore. Pickup only and stormed off my steps. This is ridiculous!!

Food took 2 1/2 hours to deliver. They offered no compensation and refused to drop their $5 delivery fee. Poor cs from the restaurant and the driver. The driver especially who attempted to push past me on my stair as the food was in my doorway while verbally harassing me. Mind you at this time I was attempting to pay. Bogus. Pho broth was pretty on point though.

Im highly upset with the service AND the food. I ordered General Toast Chicken and it was DISGUSTING! The chicken was dried out and it was chewy. Plus, the deliver driver hollered and screamed at me because I thought I tipped on my card and I didnt have any cash. I will never order from here again.

Average Chinese food for what seems to me to be a fair price, but if you are ordering before 5 call and make sure they are open. Sometimes they close early for lunch breaks. I liked it more than the Chinese food on 50th and Baltimore
