The Dishes
The reviewer ordered a two entree combo featuring noodles and chicken alongside several signature items. The classic combo came with a tank full of noodles that looked impressively generous. The char siu, which is barbecue Chinese pork, stood out as particularly tender and flavorful. The viral orange chicken fries proved to be the highlight of the meal - crispy French fries topped with orange chicken pieces and smothered in sauce that delivered a crispy, cheesy, sweet flavor profile with a light spicy kick. The lemon pepper shrimp was another standout, offering a subtle tanginess and impressive crispiness with excellent seasoning. The reviewer particularly enjoyed eating the shrimp with fresh jalapeno for added dimension.
