| - As of 02/13/11, this place now accepts Credit Cards! Discover, Mastercard, Visa, and I think American Express.
This place inside is not that big, but the decor is nice and simple. I think the owners are Cantonese, but everyone can speak Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, so language shouldn't be a problem.
Hot tea is free, but there is also a variety of Asian drinks (Apple Sidra, Guava Juice, Super Supau, etc)
Our waitress was really nice. She was able to give us recommendations on what to get. She even took us to the front, where there is the wall with all the pictures of their dishes and explained what's what. She also checked up on us frequently, asking if the dishes were to our liking (since she ended up recommending them). My boyfriend really appreciated the customer service here.
We ended up having dou mei (vegetable), spare ribs in black bean sauce, and cha-sou pork with tofu and bok choy in this special sauce. Dou mei was decent, a big plate of vegetables doused in that light oil sauce that you commonly see on Chinese vegetable dishes. Spare ribs wasn't bad either, definitely had the black bean flavored infused in the meat. Note that you're going to have to do a lot of sucking/ripping off the meat from the bones (something I'm not fond of doing, but that's what you do with spare ribs!) I liked the pork/tofu dish! The brown sauce was a bit thick and very flavorful. The sauce is perfect for the tofu because the tofu just absorbs whatever sauce it's sitting in.
I thought it was funny that there are actually two separate menus. The first one has your typical "Americanized" Chinese food (chicken with broccoli, etc.) and NO Chinese on it. The second menu had the Cantonese dishes, included the Chinese names on it. I guess you know which menu to order from!
