Chinese / Szechuan restaurant that serves both American style and authentic foods. There are some wild things on the menu like Braised Pork Intestines with Tofu Pudding. We like the Kung Pao tofu and the shredded pork in garlic sauce. This place also delivers very quickly.

Busy and speedy breakfast spot. It won't take as long to get a table as you think. Also, don't linger around the table when you are done eating or you'll get dirty looks.
