Terrible Food and Service Issues
My experience at this restaurant was the worst meal I've ever had on the avenue. The noodles were clearly cooked in bad oil and had a completely rancid smell and taste. The pork was lukewarm and sweaty, indicating it had been sitting out all day. I felt nauseous after just two bites and ended up throwing my food away. It's evident that they cut corners and do not maintain appropriate food temperatures. Additionally, I had to wait about a month to write this review because their reviews were locked due to the restaurant's attempt to manipulate their ratings.

Portion Size Discrepancy for In-Store Orders
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. While the taste of the food was fine, I noticed a significant difference in portion sizes. If you order in store, you get half the portion compared to deliveries. This is a point that could be improved for in-store customers.

Amazing Value and Home-Cooked Taste!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially for students on a budget. They offer great service to those who don't eat a lot. The food is consistently fresh and warm, with a delicious home-cooked taste that is always so yummy. The rice is cooked to perfection. For just $5. 99, no other place can compete with this value. The atmosphere is rated a 5, and the service also received a perfect 5. The tables are clean and spacious, making it kid-friendly. It's highly recommended for vegetarians.

Authentic Pickled Fried Fish
My experience at the restaurant was great! I tried the pickled fried fish, which was very authentic. It's a good option for those who cannot eat spicy food, as it's not spicy. You can also add sides as needed. The service, atmosphere, and food were all rated a perfect 5 out of 5.

Great Stir Fry in the U District
My experience at this restaurant was excellent. I found the portion sizes to be generous and the pricing to be fair, making it one of the best stir fry options available in the U District. The dishes are cooked just-in-time every day, so I recommend visiting around lunch or dinner for the best quality.

Great Value Takeout Near UW
My experience at this restaurant was very positive, especially considering the price. I ordered two boxes, each containing three dishes with white rice. Everything tasted fresh, and the sweet and sour ribs were notably good, not coated in the overly gooey sauce often found at other Chinese establishments. It was truly worth the money! If you're in the UW area and need a takeout option, I highly recommend this place.

Disappointing Meal, Better Water
I was quite disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The noodles were very oily, and the eggplant and pork dish was severely lacking in pork. The orange chicken tasted and had the texture of frozen food. While the price was fine, I believe you can get better quality at places like Panda Express, which is saying something. The most redeeming part of the meal was the ice cold water, which was white thirst-quenching. Unfortunately, I wouldn't come again unless the quality changes.

Authentic Home-Style Chinese Food
My experience at this restaurant was centered around its authentic Chinese food, which offers a home cooking style distinct from more specialized establishments like Dough Zone or Ding Tai Fung. The price was moderate, with about $14 covering three dishes. However, the portion size was a bit small. The atmosphere was excellent, rated a 5, and the service also received a perfect score. It was a quiet environment, making conversation easy, and there was no wait time. The food itself was rated a 4.

Delicious Homemade Chinese Food
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The Chinese food tasted like it was homemade, making it my go-to dinner spot when I'm undecided. The food quality was excellent, and the overall atmosphere was very enjoyable.
