We waited over an hour for three dishes that would have taken 10 minutes max from any other Chinese street food vendor. The oysters ended up being undercooked as they rushed to get it out.
Food was fresh and delicious!! Service was great!!
Great mala xiang guo, all the vegetables were perfectly crisp and tasty. The general tso was also fried well, still crispy in the sauce.
