I frequent this for establishment for lunch nearly once a week sometimes twice a week, the service & food is a cut above the rest of the mom & pops Chinese restaurants!I have personally gotten to know each of the owners on a first name basis. I order the exact same entree every time I visit, spicy schezaun beef with extra fried rice and egg drop soup, and green tea.Absolutely out if this world, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for the authentic Chinese delight, tell them Brian sent you, I'm sure they will take care of you the exact same way they do me, you won't be disappointed.For all of you whom were disappointed, maybe you need to look at yourself as the problem and not the establishment, chances are you were 99.9% of the problem and you needed someone to blame for your lack of good taste!Frequent Flyer of the restaurant, way better then PF Changs in my opinion!! ;)))

Called for delivery based on suggestions for a neighbor. The food was overpriced, the amount was small, the order was actually wrong and the service failed all around. I will not be ordering from this place again.

This restaurant has been here in this same location for maybe 25 years, possibly more. I remember coming here a lot as a kid. It was the first Chinese restaurant that I liked and it was a major cultural influence on me to first begin liking Chinese food, then later to learn after actually visiting China, how authentic some of their dishes are. They have the usual popular dishes, but also have regional cuisine that is harder to find.You can see the skill of the chef in the way they prepare their food and cut their vegetables. Each dish is superb and artfully presented.The decor and ambiance is very classy too, which is a wonderful throwback to how Chinese restaurants should be. Not so fast food and cookie cutter with decorations.Having a quiet dinner here with friends and family is a special treat for me. I especially love to order a pot of tea and chopsticks to create the ideal dining experience!

Pretty standard Chinese fare that you'd find in any other place, but above average in execution. There are a couple of items (Kew in particular) that are a little less common. Fried items are especially well done, crispy without being greasy.Ace earns an extra star for the always excellent service, and for a terrific Sunday lunch buffet that includes all of the staples from their regular menu. They've only got about 4 mains and 6 sides out at any one time, plus the usual egg rolls, crab puffs, etc, but if you eat slowly, often one dish will be replaced with a different one, say pepper steak for steak kew, and you can get a little tour of the menu.Good value, too.

Hate this place! Don't come here if you are allergic to anything... a friend of ours has a peanut allergy, we stated that fact to the waitress several times.. sure enough they cook in peanut oil and our friend blew up like a Macy's day parade float. Not one staff member offered to call 911 or help in any way. An Epi-pen was finally rushed to her. The jerks didn't even comp. the meal!

This restaurant really is a surprising find! We came one Saturday evening when we couldn't get a reservation elsewhere and it turned out to be a great evening. When we walked in the waiter seemed a little lost, scurrying between tables. The restaurant is far from a polished environment but the food turned out to be great, and we had lots of fun with the waiter. This place has a real community feel. It has a lovely (totally) relaxed atmosphere for kids and families. Great take-out, too.
