    Loooove this place. It is authentic, cheap for groups, and FAST. Every time I've been here, we've received our food within 15 minutes of ordering. Some dishes are pre assembled and you will get them within 5 minutes of ordering--nothing like instant gratification.

    Now if you're looking for General Tso's chicken or some other Americanized Chinese food, I'm sure there's a Panda Express nearby. But if you're looking for the REAL DEAL, some authentic, spicy, Sichuan food, Nanjing is the place to go. I love all their dish dishes, the duck neck (but only get this if you've had it before or are just looking for something SPICY to gnaw on), the cumin beef, the Chinese bacon with garlic chives (I think that's the name?), and basically everything else on the menu.

    Their food can be very spicy so ask for them to tone that down if that's not your thing.

    Absolute CRAP spicy beef noodles soup.  If your are thinking about ordering this here. Please run in the other direction.

    Fatty chewy beef.  Mushy lo mein noodles with ZERO chew. And flavorless broth for $13!?!  

    Oh and they will charge you $1.50 for tea.... at a authentic Chinese restaurant.   Go somewhere else!!!

    Not sure if they changed chef or whatever, the food I ordered today is horrible...after first bite, all throw in trash....waste of money...

    3.5 is definitely an understatement of this establishment. The food quality here is absolutely 5 star. The cleaningness, staff friendliness, and other factors all together is at least 4.5 to 5. I could have snap some pictures, but now they are empty plates anyway.
    So, 5 stars, this place, come, you won't regret it.

    I almost don't want to write this review but this place is too darn delicious to be under rated the way it is.

    I was here on Friday for a big group dinner. The weekend has passed and even with the heavy case of the Mondays steamrolling by, I could not stop thinking about this place.

    The atmosphere is underwhelming but don't be turned off yet; it's to keep all the people who come looking for the usual Chinese takeout. Sure you can take out, at the food comes out lightening quick BUT do stay and savor the yum at your seat.

    Most of the dishes seem a bit more authentic with the spicy chili oils, and chili's hidden in the dishes but not everything is spicy. From the savory spiced beef to salt and pepper shrimp, the rice cake with veggies/pork is a crowd pleaser. The tofu with thousand year egg is my favorite and not to be missed.

    Don't expect to wow your dining companions with a fancy Chinese restaurant but a mom & pop local shop filled with with some serious magic coming out from the kitchen!
