Manchurian food and dim sum, one of the best places around. Tasty, original, and very cheap. I love the soups and dumplings. The boiled peanuts and shredded bean curd are other favorites. The smoked chicken has been especially good lately. But you can’t go wrong here, just make sure you get lots of things, and with the median item price below three dollars, this is not hard to do.
I’ve become a regular here. No frills restaurant offering great food at great prices. Wonderful soups and the pot-stickers are a must-try. Also, if you are up for it, try the pig ears, tripe, beef tendon and ham-hock.
