"I've lived in the Heights since 1987 and yesterday was my first visit! I'd always assumed it was a cheap, fast-food place, and was prepared for thick, sticky sauces and mediocre quality. I was amazed so happy to discover instead very tasty, fresh ingredients! The fried tofu veggies used delicate soft tofu (rather than the usual firm, rubbery stuff), the outside had a thin, tender crust. Shrimp broccoli had LOTS of large shrimp. And most delighted to find the veggie egg foo young full of fresh, large chunks of mushrooms, red peppers and other veggies and fried to tender perfection. And the sauce had a thinner consistency than the often over-thickened, gummy variety at many Chinese restaurants. The vegetables were plentiful, mostly broccoli and carrots with a few baby corns, pea pod and bok choy. My only wish is that the broccoli be left a little crisper. Although the overcooking may have just been from sitting in the container, as we were a little late picking it up and waited a bit in line. An earlier review complained that they use MSG, but I did not have any adverse reaction, so maybe no longer use it? I hope they do not! There was a line to the door of the small, takeout-only place. The woman at the counter had to work at a fast pace, no-nonsense, but still had a smile and warm thank-you for us. Looking forward to trying more dishes soon!"
