text: Generally pretty good As takeout Chinese places go the food is decently seasoned not oversalted or oversauced and reasonably fresh A few items on the menu lean towards the greasy the chicken and blackbean hofun noodles for example are difficult enough to eat without being overlubricated with cooking oil The soups are slightly bland while the idea of a soup with dumplings and fish balls is a solid one the broth is bit on the weak sidennHowever there are a few lessstandard menu items worth trying the lemongrass pork chop while not strictly traditional is moist and tender and full of good lemongrass flavor The weekend congee menu is also the real deal it is homestyle enough that it attracts a large crowd of international students and the congee is delicious which is saying something for a rice porridge They do not skimp on the additions I am partial to the sliced pork and preserved egg and the available special appetizers spicy beef tripe fried bread chicken feet with black bean are worth trying Their homemade chiligarlic sauce is a winner too spicy and garlicky it is worth picking up a jar which they sell at the counter It is oily so is best used in small quantities but is really quite deliciousnnService is primarily counterbased and a bit on the charmingly grumpy side although some may find it less charming than others
