    Decent place if you're in Watertown.
    Spend $25 and you get free noodles.
    The dumplings are decent although the vegetarian dumplings are considerably smaller than the meat dumplings. Wish they would make them equal size.

    Change 1 thing!

    $15 minimum for credit or debit card is crazy. I walked out, you lost business twice.

    Debit cards are NOT supposed to invoke the surcharge. Plenty of writing about this on the net

    If you, as a business, count up the losses by setting a credit card minimum, you would quickly do away with this policy.

    No sale versus some sale?  Again come up with a way on your end to make this work. Debit cards are different.

    It's 2019. Most people don't carry cash! Many people eat alone. You lost twice about $25 in business 12.50 x2.

    Yes your food is good but stop passing your small fear is profit loss onto customers.

    My first time ordering to go at this place- lunch special with sesame chicken. I love sesame chicken, and their food was definitely one of the best chinese take out food experiences for me. Fried rice was not greasy, and sesame chicken was delicious. I also ordered fried dumpling, which was packed with juicy, flavorful meat. Price is fair, and they accept credit cards as well. Now I know where to go when I have Chinese food cravings!

    Lunch combo also comes with a small serving of egg drop or sweet sour soup plus egg roll!

    Ordered online through their website for pick up. Online ordering was easy, you can customize if you want hand pulled noodles or thin noodles and choose your pick up time. Order was ready on time and pick up was easy, but they didn't put any utensils in our takeout bag. We didn't check the bag and went to a nearby park to eat, so this was really inconvenient!

    Chopped Pork in Fried Bean Sauce ($8.58) - Hand pulled noodles were soft and chewy. Not a lot of pork or flavor though. Plenty of bean sprouts and cucumber. The dish was super oily (see picture).

    Xinjiang Spicy Noodles ($10.98) - Didn't enjoy the thin noodles as much, reminded me of lo mein style noodles. The lamb was tender, but overall the dish was dry and flavorless.

    Street parking on both sides of the street.

    For less than $10 I got a pretty solid lunch! Ordered the spicy beef with garlic sauce. It came with a spring roll and hot and sour soup.  The soup was not as gelatinous, but still flavorful.  The crispy spring roll was not over cooked, crunchy on the outside and soft and delicious inside.  

    The main the beef dish.  The fried rice I got with it wasn't dark brown using old dirty oil. Not over cooked and good amount of veggies in there too.  The beef was not over cooked. And the sauce fantastic!  Healthy serving of beef, peppers, onions and mushrooms.  And not just button mushrooms but the nice dark flat ones you get at shabushabu.

    Overall excellent value.  Would come again
