This meal was an improvement over my last visit. Let's face it, with a menu of close to 1000 items, not everything is going to be great. But, most of it is at least pretty good. They've updated their menu and the place is super busy, filled mostly with Asians and a few adventurous non-Asians. Service remains bare bones but the kitchen is fast.
We got the usual standbys - fried tofu, pork-belly buns, steamed fish, mock duck - all were pretty good. We tried the braised beef tendons and brisket with turnips - this was also pretty good. The only bad thing we had were the Shanghai rice cakes with pork - bland and too much gravy. For dessert, we tried the steamed buns with sweet black sesame filling - pretty good.
We Chinese are pretty close to the vest with compliments so I would say this place is "pretty good!"
