The new owners said the cook was the same but gotta be honest, the food tasted different this time. Very bland, beef was tough, chicken tasted like process meat, and hot and sour soup was very spice. Price was high too. I giving 2 stars because service was good. Sorry guys but I won’t be returning.

So I have enjoyed crispy duck and rice for a good decade now, in NY and all over Germany. I had a yearning for it again and thought I'll give it a try from here. Online menu says it's only $12.95. Why not? So I ordered over the phone for pick-up and was told it will be 25 minutes. I drive there and go inside. At the counter, the woman tells me, as I hand her my credit card, it'll be $18.35. So I said "whoa, what happened to the $12.95 price?" She tells me someone posted the menu online and she's been trying to get it taken down. I said okay, got my food and left after paying full price.
The duck was way too fatty with some kind of seriously salty sugar sauce on the side. The rice tasted boiled, NOT steamed. And after checking the menu again, THE MENU IS ON THEIR WEBSITE. It is NOT posted by someone else. THEY POSTED IT. If they wanted to change it, it should be zero issue to change to current prices. Fact is, the menu with the wrong price is still there and says prices subject to change.
I will never go there again. I do NOT recommend. I was duped.

My husband and I went a few months ago. I got kung pao chicken and he got sesame chicken I think. Neither of us were impressed. The food was….subpar to put it nicely.
My husband went a few time with friends about ten years ago and he said it was really good back then. Not anymore.

I had cashew chicken and my wife had sweet and sour chicken. The dinners come with a choice of egg roll or Rangoon; egg drop, wonton, or hot and sour soup; and either white or fried rice. There is enough on the plate to fill you up and still have leftovers. The food is always good and the service is excellent. I think it’s the best Chinese restaurant around.

I've been eating at this place since the 90's and it never disappoints me. What ever you order, the food is usually falling off the plate there is so much. The Hot Sour Soup I feel is the best anywhere and you can't beat the service.I usually go for the Chicken Cashew and it is awesome! Kung Pao is good also. I'm usually eating here once or twice a week. I feel what ever dish you order, you will enjoy it!
