What diners are saying
Diners consistently praise this Greenpoint staple as a reliable go-to for high-quality, American-style Chinese takeout. Celebrated for "clean and fresh" flavors that justify slightly higher prices, standout dishes include the crispy General Tso's chicken, beef with broccoli, roast pork buns, and Peking duck. While one guest noted a rare inconsistency with lunch quality, loyal patrons highlight the generous portions and friendly service, particularly noting the staff's impressive memory and the family-owned feel that has kept locals returning for over 15 years.
