Coming from San Francisco living now in Phoenix I quickly discovered one of the big trade-offs in my move to the desert from what I regard as the best restaurant town in the country, if not the world - along with NYC of course. After all , there are more ethnic Chinese per capita living in San Francisco than anywhere in the world except Hong Kong. And I enjoy Cantonese as opposed to the other styles like Hunan or Mandarin.
Having lived in San Francisco for much of my life and having spent time in Chinese I can spot authenticity pretty easily. The menu I saw online along with whatever pictures I get review helped me in my decision to check it out.
My verdict: Pretty good but it's not in the same league as San Francisco: I rate it 7/10. The Wor Wonton Soup was good, though it was lacking the typical veggies and shrimp I come to expect Yes, there were wontons but no veggies of any substance I can recall, and beef, which is typically NOT srved in this soup. But it was tasty.
Mt friend and I shared the spicy/salty squid which was actually QUITE good and would recommend. We also had the snow pea leaves as a main veggie dish and while overpriced, was excellent. We also shared chicken pan fried noddles which were just "okay." Skimpy on veggies and chicken, taste was a 6/10 though the noodles were fried perfectly.
Would I recommend? I suppose, but with the expectation that if you are looking for a great, authentic cantonese style restaurant similar to what you might get in San Francisco, Oakland or much of Los Angeles or Vancouver. Will I return? Probably.
