Not sure what style of Chinese this is but it was absolutely amazing. Walked in and saw the owner hand cutting chili peppers. She was also our server and very sweet personality. Some of the best Chinese I've had in a while and in such a surprising place. The egg foo yung patties were huge, like omelettes and clearly freshly-made. They were fluffy and puffy, different from the compact, smaller ones I'm used to. Only wasn't a fan of the duck sauce provided, I prefer a thicker brown gravy but I took it home and fixed it up just right. The eggplant was amazing as-is and my dad enjoyed his chicken & veg dish, not sure which one. Very good egg drop, which is always how I gauge a new restaurant.

I'm not a fan of the buffet but if you order from the menu, it's the closest you can get to "authentic" Chinese food in Lafayette.Get out of your comfort zone and stop ordering general tso ,orange chicken , Beijing beef etc.If you want to try you can follow my suggestions , get the (fried pork spare ribs)(Kung Pao cabbage)(Pepper shrimp/fish).
