1/5 a w. 2 years ago on Google
I
live
and
have
been
eating
all
around
china
for
the
past
+20
years
and
can
confidently
tell
you
that
this
place
is
not
close
to
authentic.
I
don’t
think
they
tweaked
the
menu
items
to
appeal
to
the
local,
western
palette
but
are
just
bad
cooks
or
cutting
corners/costs.
1)
the
“baozi”
(水煎包)is
supposed
to
have
a
nice,
crispy
bottom.
They
obviously
did
not
want
to
spend
the
time
to
patiently
allow
the
nice
crisp
to
form
on
the
bottom.
The
bun
itself
lacked
the
proper
bounce
in
texture
as
a
result
of
different
type
of
flour
(i
ll
give
them
a
pass
on
that
as
it
may
be
difficult
to
buy
in
eugene).
The
meat
also
lacks
that
bit
of
juice
that
usually
collects
in
the
inside.
2)pickled
beef
noodles:
the
soup
doesnt
taste
like
a
broth
thats
been
simmering
for
hours.
It
just
tastes
like
some
powders
were
thrown
in
the
soup
with
some
picked
cabbage
(酸菜).
But
the
most
offensive
part
of
this
dish
was
the
beef.
Never
in
my
life
have
a
had
such
dry
and
tough
beef
before!
Proper
beef
noodle
soup
is
supposed
to
use
tender
and
juicy
cuts
of
beef,
not
cheap
lean
cuts
of
beef.
If
you’re
going
to
us
cheap,
lean
cuts
of
beef
at
least
put
in
the
time
and
effort
to
cook
it
until
its
somewhat
tender.
3)
“special
secret
made
pepper
chicken
rice”:
this
dish
was
lazy
in
that
they
basically
took
the
soup
from
the
pickled
beef
noodle
and
reused
it
as
the
base
in
this
dish
and
then
three
in
some
sichuan
peppercorn.
Nothing
special
about
that.
I’ve
never
seen
anything
like
this
before
in
the
thousands
of
meals
ive
had
out
in
china
and
asia.
I
do
not
say
that
in
a
good
way.
The
only
thing
going
for
any
of
the
food
items
at
this
restaurant
was
the
chicken
meat
in
this
dish
was
tender.
Frankly,
i
dont
know
how
this
place
has
excellent
reviews
from
chinese
reviewers.
I
suspect
that
some
may
be
friends
of
the
restaurant
or
phantom
1-2
review
accounts
opened
for
the
purpose
of
bumping
this
restaurant
up.
The
waitress
was
very
nice
and
friendly
but
i
cant
give
them
anything
higher
than
a
one
star
as
the
food
is
horrible!
