| - this is another one of my favorite hole in the wall places, particularly chinese food. this turns out to be owned by the former owners of Food Express (another great chinese food place), so this place is good for Cantonese food, not for ambiance or good service. I'm not an expert, but i think i've been to enough Chinese food places that i can say what's good or not good. i always have to order the house special hong kong style panfried noodle. i love this for the crispy egg noodles smothered with sweet bbq pork, soft scallops, moist chicken, and crunchy Chinese broccoli, but last night the noodles didn't have any crisp at all, i assume it sat too long. we also had the bbq duck, salty from the soy evened out with the sweetness of the plum sauce. it is an absolute must to order any of the salt-pepper items. last night, i had the salt-pepper pork chop. the flavor was so good on those moist pieces of pork chop. i also recommend the salt-pepper squid. finally, it's a must to order the crispy string beans cooked in XO sauce. so damn, good. I also finished the dinner with 2 cream puffs from Beard Papa's delivered from LA by my cousin, but that's another review. what a damn meal...service last night was not great at all, but i think its b/c they were so busy, but this place is only known for its yummy food.
