  • I come here with my ESL student regularly, who likes to help me become a little less picky about my food. This restaurant is great for authentic Chinese food, but at the same time I understand a lot of the negative reviews, particularly the complaints about customer service and cleanliness. This isn't the place you want to go if you're looking for a highly attentive waiter/waitress and a pristine eating environment. That said, there are some seriously good dishes that I think make the negatives worth putting up with! I always order their chow fun with XO sauce (this dish is really like mini versions of the rice noodle rolls you'll see in dim sum places rather than what you picture when you think of chow fun) and it never disappoints. I second everyone who suggests coming with someone who speaks Cantonese--it makes the ordering process a lot easier and it's helped us find a gem of a dish, too! My student wanted to try one of their fish dishes and the waitress told her it was no longer available and after an extensive conversation in Cantonese, my student told me we'd be having something else that wasn't on the menu. It's fried fish in a garlic sort of seasoning/sauce and I have no idea how to describe except the fish is always perfect, moist and tender, with breading that's light but crisp every time! We've ordered it on every visit since then and I'll be updating my Yelp review when I find out a proper name for it, because it's AMAZING. Now any time I have fish elsewhere, I'm a little disappointed. You get free soup with your meal and while I like the stock and have some every time, I find the meat tends to be really dry/overcooked in general, so keep your expectations low for that. Jasmine tea also comes standard and it's always perfect, never too bitter! I would not recommend the duck, because it was way, way too salty--even for duck--when we ordered it. Their kung pao chicken is hit or miss, great when it's a hit and really blah when it's a miss. All in all, this is the kind of restaurant I go to with tried and true favorites in mind. Lastly, be aware if you order anything to go, there will be an additional $1-2 charge for take out, even if you're currently eating in the restaurant and just ordering something extra to take home with you!
