Really good Chinese restaurant.
The pork dumplings were excellent flavorful and well made. The beef stir-fried noodles were delicious, and the portions were very generous.
The menu clearly shows non-spicy options, which is great if you don’t like heat !
The staff is friendly. Their English isn’t perfect, but communication is easy 🙂
We also got two fortune cookies at the end, which was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend.

We had General Tso’s Chicken, string beans, and beef brisket noodle soup. The noodle soup was to die for. It was exactly what I was hoping for on a chilly day. The broth was so rich, and the meat was tender. We shared the chicken and string beans among three people, and there was more than enough for all of us. The steamed rice came for free with the entrees.

The noodles have great texture and soaked up the flavor really well. The sweet and sour chicken is crispy, the service was really amazing even the chef Tony was super nice and fun, all the staff made the experience even way more wonderful and unforgettable, really appreciated the way we were treated, 10/10 would recommend!!

Tasteless food, like a bad neighborhood spot. Everything tasted like everything else. Had gotten better after a huge fall from grace and was considered one of the best Chinese restaurants in the country a few years ago. After the fall, it improved solidly but now has deteriorated once again. Maybe because it was due to timing (lunch hour) or traffic but that is no excuse.

The food was incredible and the owner, Zhong, took such good care of us. Our favorites were the whole pickled fish, crispy duck, preserved duck egg, and eggplant with ground pork. Such a treat!

Had a fantastic meal at Lao Sze Chuan. The pork dumplings were mediocre, not reallt heir specialty, but the rest were all great. We really recommend the items with some spice, as its well balanced with the flavor profile to not be overpowering.
The signature spicy chicken and dry pot were our favorite.

I recently went here for a wanted colleagues. Lots of different eating preferences and there were options to serve each taste. Awesome selection of spicy food which many of us love. We got duck, noodles, wontons, cucumber salad and green beans. The wontons are so delicious, Savory and spicy. The service was okay.

Nice restaurant with good food. Modern and clean interior with decent service. Would definitely recommend the Chili Chicken on the Chef’s recommendation menu. The green beans we ordered had a bit of a small portion size, but the rest of the meal made up for it. Overall, great experience!

This place is a disappointment. We were recommended to eat here at the tourist center but the service from the waiters wasn’t good nor was the food. My boyfriend ordered seafood soup and the waitress brought him a different dish. We later told her about the mistake and she got upset and didn’t serve us kindly. We asked for water four times and she wouldn’t give us napkins. I didn’t like the food; I’ve had better seasonings. The only delicious thing was the dumplings but everything else was terrible.
