Excellent dinner for 8: Soup dumplings and poststicker starters, whole duck set, whole steamed fish Cantonese style, lemon shrimp, garlic green beans, combination pan-fried noodles. Very good and fast service. Great ambiance at a round table with a lazy susan. Very good value.

Overall food was decent. My first time here. Tried the Szechuan chicken dish. Too peppery and too oily for my taste, some chicken pieces were slightly undercooked. Love that there was little to no cornstarch in the dish. Good balance of meat and vegetables. Hunan lamb was different and delicious although very peppery. Dumplings were large and meaty although I personally prefer a more delicate wrap. I definitely prefer more gingery and garlicky flavor as opposed to a hot peppery flavor. Needed to have a milky drink to minimize the peppery impact. If you like hot Szechuan food then this would be perfect. Maybe next time I will try the peking duck

If you have people in your group who don't eat spicy food, there are options that not spicy at all. These dishes don't even start with hot spices, so you don't have deal with the request for "not spicy," and there is faint heat that is noticed by those who don't tolerate heat.
