I’ve lived near this place for a while, but only just took the time to try it out. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. Great prices and great food, totally recommend!Food: 5/5

Food was excellent. I bought To-Go. Beef with peppers, beef fried rice, spring rolls and wonton soup; all delicious. The place is really small; one table with 4 chairs only.Food: 5/5

One of my favorite restaurants in the area! Food is great and the people are friendly and welcoming. Lunch combos are always on point.

The Chinese-American offerings here are easily the best in the Pioneer Valley! That's what my partner and I tried for our first visit but they also have plenty of Hong Kong dishes. I was very tempted by the salted egg chicken wings and braised beef shank on the specials menu, but decided to go with the General Tso's chicken that I'd planned to order. The General Tso's came out piping hot served with broccoli and white rice. The chicken itself was good-sized chunks of dark meat with a moderately thick breading that still had a decent crunch to it. The sauce was indulgently sweet but not overly greasy. When I ate my leftovers the next day I definitely noticed the fragrance of fresh ginger in the sauce. I'm not usually one to rave about vegetables but the broccoli was perfect! They are clearly using quality ingredients here and you can taste the delicious leafy greenness of the broccoli. I had a similar experience biting into one of the spring rolls. The cabbage inside tasted like cabbage! I don't think I've ever had a spring roll or egg roll that I could say that of. Like the chicken, the spring roll was fried at the right temperature and there was very little grease that dripped off at the table. In my opinion, the quality of the food justifies the prices. I am glad to pay a bit more to enjoy food made from fresh ingredients that is enjoyable to eat. We will definitely be back to try more!

This place is really sweet. It has a family business vibe. The menu is simple and straightforward. We got the salt and pepper tofu which was freshly fried, crisp on the outside and pillowy on the inside. It came covered in toasted garlic, which was nutty and delicious. We also got the General Tso's chicken which perfectly fried dark meat coated in a tangy, rich sauce. The food came out fast and the people working there were friendly and kind. Don't sleep on Chef Lau!
