The dishes were good other than that, the hot and sour soup was very good and the price very reasonable. But if you like spicy Chinese food like we do, this is not the place.

I find the same problem at most Chinese places. They never meet my heat expectations. I always ask for a side of hot oil on takeout or dine in. They put it in a little Chinese duck sauce container and I add it as I would Chinese duck sauce or mustard. You shouldn't have to, but I order it just in case. There's always a lot left over. Good stuff.
