Their fried pork dumplings are far and away better than any other I've had in Richmond. We always get the spicy pork belly app, too. Also love the double-cooked chicken with leeks - yum!
Yasss Peter C! You brought it👊 Had the double cooked pork - 5 stars!! Beef w chili & onion - 5 stars (and spicy even at 1 pepper)!! And the basil chicken - 5 stars & beautiful presentation.
Charles SMarch 4, 2018Saturday nite one hour wait, no prob, take out works. Scallops and crushed garlic excellent, wife said eggplant and tofu wasn't spicy enough, brown sauce was more subtle. Son ate shrimp fried rice:-)
Richard HamiltonDecember 17, 2015Grab a few dishes to share with the group. Portions are generous. Everything we ordered tasted amazing! Mushroom Hot Pot was a good veggie friendly option.
Elle BreezeeDecember 27, 2014Dry fried ANYTHING, scallion pancakes, whole fish, chicken hot pot, twice cooked pork belly, grandmas sweet and sour pork. Everything we've tried has been phenomenal
Order a few dishes of different meats and vegetables that you all want to try. The entire idea is to share, family style. No two people should order the same thing.
Richmond MagazineMay 8, 2014On a menu filled with adventurous dishes, the $7.50 general tso's chicken is a great crowd pleaser, especially for those 10 and under who aren't (ever) in the mood for something unfamiliar.
RVANewsJune 27, 2013The Spicy Dan Dan Noodles are infused with fiery heat from the punishingly delicious Sichuan chillies. There’s no shame in asking for a side of white rice to cool things down.
Highlights: szechuan double-cooked pork, stir fry cabbage, tofu skins, dry-fried eggplant, house special fish fillet, cumin lamb
Phil HertzlerJuly 3, 2015This is not fine dining. Imagine the best Chinese take-out food. That's what they have. It is good, but your couch at home has better atmosphere and likely better service.
Sebastian SheridanJune 2, 2018The food was great; the service was great; the price was great. This was an all around great experience!
Scott M.July 16, 2013The Summer Specials menu has some unique and interesting items. I highly recommend the cold cabbage with chili oil appetizer!
Brian WellsJanuary 5, 2016The bamboo fish is divine. And you can even ask for it in an entree sized portion!- Richard EfthimAugust 14, 2016Lunch menu. I got eggplant with garlic sauce and chicken in a hot pot. Delicious!
Everything I have had is wonderful. Try the fried eggplant or the scallion pancakes as apps.
natalie kayApril 13, 2016Fried eggplant! even if you think you don't like eggplant get this appetizer!
MISTER McCALLNovember 17, 2015Great vegetarian and vegan options. Exceptional service. Lively atmosphere. Easily accessible Parking.
EMCMay 21, 2012Duck & Pork Meatballs Soup was phenomenal. As Peter said when he visited our table, don't waste your time on lo mein :)
Jeremy BekerSeptember 19, 2014Amazing authentic food. You know it is good when it is full of locals and cops.- Shrimp & broccoli was pretty good, soup was ok, veggie rolls were lame. Must go back to try apps & another 4 dishes on the menu lol
- Sean FlournoySeptember 8, 2012The bamboo fish is wonderful and the numbing beef was just that. Amazing food and service.
Jena HMarch 8, 2012545 on a wed, packed. Dumplings were dry, reminded me of TJs frozen gyoza. Order #80 for dinner-eggplant was mushy. Bubble pancakes a must
Marco HowellMarch 11, 2012Try the beef buns app and the orange beef with fried rice with a tall saporro beer
Make reservations. Order Dan Dan noodles or Shanghai Tofu Skin Rolls for appetizer, or both.
ask for soy sauce for your table - the one they use is of high quality
Tops Family ChroniclesMay 19, 2023Not sure what's so great that they charge almost double what other Chinese restaurants charge. It's the same amount of food. Plus they didn't provide a fork or soy sauce in my to-go bag. Not worth it!
Some of the dishes approaching $20 are great for two people to share.
Kelly ChildressSeptember 27, 2013We ordered takeout by phone but when we went to pick it up they treated us like criminals. I was actually told we may get our food we may not?!? After a 30 minute wait we did end up with our order.
Basil chicken is served in a chicken-shaped foil sculpture!
TV Food MapsSeptember 3, 2014- Marco HowellMarch 10, 2012Get here way early. Got here at 5 when it opened and there was still an hour wait.
