Food seemed very authentic compared to the grease filled Chinese options in Oakland. The steamed dumpling appetizers were chewy and delicious. I enjoyed the black peper-sauced ribs but the beef hot pot and cooked spinach dishes were a little bland but still good. Like others here have been saying, the waitress (owner?) had quite an attitude on her. Her tone is short and a little angry and her English is very poor. Based on food quality alone, I would return.
