It pains me to only give this place two stars, because it's locally/family-owned, and it's kitschy decor is a time capsule from the 70's (that's a good thing!)\n\nBut man, it's just not anything special, and also overpriced. I'm a dumplings and hot/sour soup guy. Get those right and I'll forgive almost anything. They get neither right. The dumpling serving is meager relative to what they charge, and the hot/sour soup has no pork or chicken - then adding it is as an extra was crazy expensive!\n\nThey also don't have what other Chinese places call a \""diet menu\"" - essentially normal entree options that you can have steamed rather than stir-fried with sauce on the side and brown rice. Not only isn't there a specific menu option for this, they declined to prepare a basic chicken with mixed vegetables for me in this way. Just \""no\"" - even though the restaurant was basically empty and the kitchen was slow. Plus no brown rice.\n\nBreaks my heart - I so want to like them -
