Definitely one of the better restaurants in Chinatown as long as you go there at night.
I don't even think there is a chef there at lunch time. I would guess it's manufactured food reheated. It may be cheap but I stay away.
At night however, the chefs are in and there are some definite gems on the menu. Although I've been there over a dozen times I don't think I've sampled a tenth of their offerings.
My favorites are anything in black bean sauce as well as their crab in ginger and shallot sauce (they bring you the live crab to approve before preparing it). Their salt and pepper shrimps are also good but the ones at Hot and Spicy (see review) are better.
It is a small place and tables are small and very close together, except for the 2 large round tables that can accommodate groups of up to 12.
The owner and host always seems to remember you even if you came only once before. Also on the nights where it's very busy, he will tell you how long the wait and remember you, without taking your name down, when you come back after walking around in Chinatown.
Service is fast, efficient and polite. When the restaurant is very busy, they will however remove your finished plates and give you the check quickly.
