"Wow. This is an old-fashioned, mom and pop restaurant. The food was better than I have has in any Chinese restaurant in years. The simple, personal service of the owners should be the standard for all establishments. Two of us dined here at 3 PM on a weekday. The owner, a smiling, elderly gentleman, greeted us, and seated us in one of the four booths. We were the only diners at that time of day. This being our first visit, I asked the owner to serve us whatever he thought was good, rather than pick from the menu. He seemed delighted by that option. First course was a won ton soup. I don't usually pick that, but this was hot, fresh, with a meat dumpling. Second was a fried egg roll. It was (temp wise) very hot, and crispy. It came with a saucer of sweet/sour sauce with a dollop of hot mustard. Next came the best fried rice I have ever had. It was seasoned perfectly, and has chunks if tender beef, pork, chicken, and shrimp. Last was a platter of Mongolian beef, with beautiful red sweet peppers and just the right level of spicy. The next platter was a sweet sesame chicken, the perfect follow up to the spicy beef. The owner encouraged us to eat slowly, stay, and enjoy. He kept our hot tea pot full. As we were finishing, he brought a cup of steamed white rice, so we could soak up the sauce still on the platters. We were having an early dinner, with full service, and were treated like royalty. Total cost got two, with tax, was under forty dollars. Two caveats: Do not let the outer appearance of the building, or the much used inner furnishings give you any concerns. This is a diamond, finely polished, and gleaming, if you want good food. Second, they are old-fashioned, and take only cash. No cards. In a few more years, small, pride-driven restaurants like this will vanish. Eat here now while you have the chance."
