Best seat in the house is 2nd floor by the window! The rice plates are all amazing, just don't get the sweet and sour chicken.

Best hole-in-the-wall (literally) Chinese place. Order the tomato beef chow mein & you won't be disappointed.

You know you are in or a treat when the front door opens up into the kitchen and you have to dodge the chefs to get to your seat! I had a great time.
