About
This place is a total hidden gem for authentic Northern Chinese food. Fans rave about the spicy pepper chicken and the family-style portions. It is tucked away inside a spa, which confuses some, but the food is spot on. Some diners find the service pushy regarding tips, but the flavors keep people coming back.
