Three cups chicken is my favorite. I’ve eaten this dish in Chinatown and skoki’s branch respectively. It’s a completely different taste. The taste here is the best. It has a sweet basil flavor.

Lao Sze Chuan is amazing. The dishes are so good. The combination of the sauce and the white rice is the best thing I ever have!

The service and staff here are fantastic! We got the dumplings which I thought had too much meat and did not care for the dough. We got the dry chili chicken which was very spicy and very good. Chicken fried rice was perfect with nice chicken breast pieces. Mango smoothy tasted like real mango and very well mixed. The menu is on the pricey side but they do have a lot of variety.

Wow place was amazing and empty… for as good as the food was I can’t imagine why there was no one in there. They had a huge menu and plenty of great choices. I had their specialties and I was greatly satisfied. Others have spoken of how pricey ot is but for thee amount of food and the quality it was well worth it. I would definitely come back. I was staying at the hotel close gy but was glad to have discovered this place as I was very impressed they are very decorated with awards and very well deserved. The waiters were attentive and I really enjoyed my experience. Don’t listen to the Van reviews this place was delicious.

Highly recommend the eggplant, I had mine with pork. I ate it with chopsticks, but you can use a fork. Take your time, savor each bite. Good food, good price, day or night.

The food was good and the amount was enough. I ordered veg rolls and duck meat. I will like the duck more well cooked, apart from that it’s fine.
