    The sesame chicken here is some of the best!! I wish they had it on the lunch menu and the won ton soup available in a cup size..

    There are a lot of options to choose from. It may take a bit to decide but there is something for everyone.

    Always a staple for late night eats for many years...but this place has really declined in quality and taste. Every time I've come back over the last few years I've been more and more disappointed.

    This is the place for late night noodles - I think they're open until 2am - usually fast and always good.

    The P04 Salt Toasted Tofu is consistently excellent and a pleasure to eat. There's even enough for Two. :)

    If you get a hot soup with flat rice noodles make sure you are a level 10 expert with chopsticks, those sure are slippery little suckers.

    Start w/the rice cake, then njoy a bowl of soup w/wide egg noodles & a side of snow peas leaves sauteed in garlic. Finish w/a triple delight!

    I ordered (dumplings + hot and sour seafood soup). Unfortunately both were really bland and tasteless! I’ve had both elsewhere; very disappointed with the food here. Service was great though!
  • Justin O'Keith H.
    Usually great food and service but tonight they fell short big time. Took forever to get servers to take our orders. Then they didn't bring the drinks. Food very slow to come out. Very poor tonight!

    Not on my favorites list but they've got quite a variety of soups and it's cheap. Get the E01 wonton soup with egg noodles. Security used to be issue back in the day. Not anymore.

    Horrible: Orders were incomplete, dirty plates are not picked up on time, and they don't bring all orders at the same time. Three of us were done eating by the time the fourth person was served.

    Avoid Sizzling Beef - bland dish, soaking in sauce, tasteless except for huge amount of black pepper.
