Reviews
But the food was horrible.I ordered the salt and pepper chicken and the sweet And sour shrimp.
The salt and pepper chicken tasted like greasy, seasoned fried flour with little bits of meat here and there.
The sweet and sour shrimp breading was so thick.You could barely taste the shrimp, which was overcooked and hard.
I had to settle for a couple of bites of the shrimp and mostly just poured the sweet And sour sauce over my white rice. Which was surprisingly pretty good.
I will never order from this place again Nor will I recommend it to anyone.
I just ate my
The pork rib soup here distinguishes itself immediately from standard wonton, offering a broth of remarkable clarity and composure that is both lucid and digestible. Tender ribs lend depth without weight, while bok choy and green onions remain fresh and articulate, contributing lift and balance rather than muddling the palate. In Chinese culinary language, the effect is 鲜 (xiān, fresh-savory purity) and 清 (qīng, clear and unburdened)—qualities often sought but rarely achieved together; in Cantonese, this reads as 清甜 (cing1 tim4), a clean, gentle savor.
Aroma plays a quiet but essential role. The steam carries a light, fresh fragrance—香 (xiāng, fragrant) without heaviness—inviting rather than overwhelming. The scent signals restraint and care before the first sip, reinforcing the soup’s composed character.
What makes the flavor truly fantastic lies in its restraint. From the Greek φανταστικός (phantastikós), the word originally meant that which reveals itself vividly to the mind—and this soup does exactly that, unfolding gently rather than announcing itself. In Latin, sapere (“to taste, to be wise”) reminds us that good flavor is a matter of discernment, not excess. In Hebrew, טעם (ta‘am) signifies both taste and meaning, an apt description for a broth that is lightly blended yet deeply coherent.
Medically and dietetically, the soup remains easy to assimilate. In Chinese dietary terms, it embodies 清 (qīng, clear/light) and 和 (hé, harmonious), associated with internal balance and digestive ease; clinically, this aligns with the Latin digestibilis (easily broken down) and lenis (gentle), indicating nourishment without irritation or gastric burden. Despite the use of pork ribs, the broth stays lucid, with depth achieved through technique rather than lipid weight.
This is comfort food expressed with intelligence: subtle, balanced, aromatically fresh, and confidently its own—quiet technique yielding a bowl that is physiologically calming, flavor-forward, and quietly restorative.
Edit: raised up to five stars after really enjoying the leftovers. Attentive and friendly service as well for that extra star.
Service: Prompt and quick. Not much besides bringing over the dishes, but the girl at the counter was generous with the takeout boxes and even gave us recommendations for things to do in Buffalo.
Atmosphere: Not the place to go if you’re looking for ambience. The restaurant is clean and tidy. Chairs are fold-out, you steep your own oolong tea bag in a styrofoam cup of hot water. Despite all this, there’s a sense of being at home or at a quick restaurant in Beijing. I didn’t mind it.
Food: We ordered the: Tomato Egg Drop Tofu Soup (西红柿鸡蛋豆腐汤), Pai Huanggua (拍黄瓜), Hongshaorou (红烧肉), Green Pepper Tudousi (青椒土豆丝), and Sweet and Sour Shortribs (糖醋排骨). Very hearty and true to the Northern Chinese style of home cooking: the seasoning was light and savoury, with mild flavours and suitable garnish.
Overall: Surprisingly authentic Northern Chinese food. Would come again.
It was super fast; I’d recommend you call ahead and it’ll be done in 15mins.
