Yelper Neltonia P. added, "The taste and flavor of the sweet and sour soup is perfect. The lo mein noodles are sauced well and not dry. Every time I go, I must get an order of the crab rangoons, and, really, those are what keep me coming back each time. They are hands down the best crab rangoons that I have had."
