We ordered food to go. When I picked it up, it was nicely packaged. The staff were not particularly welcoming, but since it was a to go order, it didn’t matter as much. We ordered several items and the food tasted very good. Shortly after eating though, both my partner and I developed headaches, which made us wonder whether some ingredients contained MSG. When I called the restaurant, they explained that while they do not add MSG directly, some of the ingredients they source do contain it. For anyone sensitive to MSG, this is something to be aware of. On the plus side, they were straightforward and honest when asked.
I have been missing a local goto Chinese restaurant ever since ShenHua shut down on college Ave. the food is tasty and fresh. Huge assortment which could be paired down to make it easy to order. The food and service are very good while the atmosphere is very 1980s. The restaurant could be upgraded, but aside from that a great addition to Montclair
Having parents who owned Chinese restaurants and literally grown up in them, I’m happy that this place is so close to home. We’ve had take pur orders from here twice but never actually dined in. The menu is very expansive and it is authentic Chinese food. I love the Mushu dish. My partner had the honey glazed BBQ pork and Mongolian beef which he liked a lot. Hot and sour soup could use a little more spice and salt. I never get a MSG thirst or headache after eating which is super important to me.
My wife and I searched for a good restaurant upon coming back from vacay. It was not easy at all. This spot does not have many reviews, but we chose it because of the pics AND the reviews were consitent in it being a great choice. We got here here about 20 or so mins to closing. We did takeout. However, we will be back to dine in. This is THE best Chinese food that we have had since being in Berkeley. We throughly enjoyed our food and it heated up the next day just right. Oh. They have $10 happy hour every day..lol The salt and pepper wings were delicious (1st time trying them). However, I wish more wings came for the price paid honestly.. but I'm not going to ding then in that. The BBQ pork fried rice and shrimp and broccoli were delicious. Next time, we are going to ask for garlic sauce with the shrimp and broccoli. They're food is really good and worth the money. Everything came out hot, the staff were warm and funny. This place is so beautiful to just look at. They put effort into ensuring their restaurant was welcoming.
One of the best American Chinese restaurants I’ve had the privilege to dine at! My family was pleasantly surprised that our wonton soup came with fresh whole vegetables and large shrimp! Our waiter was also very friendly and made us laugh. 10/10 would recommend!
