solid chinese. i agree with most of the reviews above. the place iscleanwith a very nice wait staff, friendly owner, relaxed atmosphere, and for the most part the food is very good. i've found that they do a better job with dark sauces (the garlic chicken is very good) than they do with light sauces, which can tend towards the gloppy and tasteless. if you don't get too fancy, you'll be fine. i'd rate it four out of five stars for charlottesville chinese. very solid.
