| - Summary: popular late night spot is good for big groups, and gets most - but not all - of its dishes right.
Top Must-Get: "Running" chicken
Top Regret: Egg and pork congee
We came here to try something new for a post-sports meal as a group of 12 on a Wednesday night around 10:30 pm. They definitely had a busy vibe going, with several tables being served right before and after we got there - we chose this because of their reputation as a late night food spot.
SERVICE
We ended up getting a dinner set which went for about $110, tax in. We were seated pretty quickly and they took our order within 10 minutes. After a short wait, the dishes came one after another in fairly rapid succession.
They were great about getting us a pitcher of water and refilling it constantly (I'm a particular thirsty kind of guy).
FOOD
We ordered a variety of dishes including a "running" chicken, sweet/sour pork, egg pork congee, fried dough stick, garlic fried gai lan (Chinese broccoli), tofu and fish, and beef fried noodles.
Everything was fairly good, although nothing stood out as spectacular. THE TWO EXCEPTIONS: the congee (pae dan soh yuk jook) was very, very bland (we had to add copious amounts of salt and pepper, although it's not that bad with dough sticks), and the tofu fish was extraordinarily salty.
For what we got - which was 9 dishes - it was pretty good value and left us satisfied.
