It's the 2nd time we've been and it's a good enough option, but our server was a little grumpy and preoccupied (the others weren't) and one of the dishes was pretty bland It's still a fine option but definitely wouldn't say it's the best Chinese in USA

The food was awesome, but the waiter never returned to ask if we needed anything or to refill our glasses. But all in all the food was delicious and it over shadowed the lack of service.
