Service is good, prices are about the same as every other Chinese restaurant in the area, but the food leaves much to be desired.
Mongolian beef seemed undercooked, kind of fatty, and bland. Kung Pao chicken didn't have much punch to the sauce.
Try what used to be Red Lantern up in Highwood (across from Curry Hut) - recently changed hands, but the food quality and consistency doesn't seem to have changed so maybe they kept the chef :-)
