This longtime local favorite offers authentic food in a low-key environment.

In Short
Uptown and Five Points residents gather at tables in the main dining area, which is preferred to other areas because it is clean and quiet. Dishes here are lean on cornstarch and filler and generally made with fresh ingredients. The menu offers many dishes not found elsewhere in town, like heads-on shrimp with a Shanghai pork chop. Try the specialty peach chicken or the kung pao Szechwan--a spicy shrimp, scallop and chicken dish.
