| - Not as good as they used to be (especially when I was like 4 or 5 and they were a small, cramped restaurant), but still very decent.
Two of their signature dishes are the smoked chicken (great grandfather chicken) and red-roasted fish. They are great. The smoked chicken is very different from Western smoked chicken - it's not as dense, the flavour is subtler, it's slightly sweet. It's delicious. And it comes with marinated jellyfish, which is delicious.
The red-roasted fish is also great - it comes with a really savoury sauce that comes with spinach and whole cloves of roasted garlic. Amazing. I don't like that the fish has bones, because I"m lazy (and the only fish dish with bones that I like is steamed fish) but it's still pretty good.
All the other standard Cantonese dishes are good too - ginger and green onion lobster, shrimp fried egg, all kinds of stir-fried Chinese veggie dishes, the "birds nest" stir fries (you know, the stuff that comes in a fried taro basket), seafood - it's all good.
Line ups aren't nearly as bad as before either, but you may want to arrive a little bit early to guarantee instant seating.
