Overrated. The only thing authentic is the MSG level.

by antuvschle

Ever since I got to Columbia, everyone says this is the best chinese food in town. Until Jesse Wong's opened, I would have had to agree, which is SAD. This is inauthentic Americanized chinese food. For people who think this is how Chinese food should be, it probably is the best around. If you know better, it's a huge disappointment-- go to wheaton or rockville for better food.

I have MSG sensitivity and this place sets me off like no other. When you ask for no MSG, this is when you find out that they can't change the egg rolls because they get them frozen and all the sauces are pre-made and no MSG-free substitutions are available. My last workplace got their catering a lot and I turn down free food because it makes me so ill.

• Pros: all your american friends think it's the best
• Cons: MSG headaches, and bland average americanized-chinese flavor.

• Pros: Nice decor, free parking
• Cons: None
