| - I went here this evening with my family. Service was much better when my mom was around when it was just my husband and I. We ordered a lot and the food was good, but we were basically the only Asian people other than the restaurant's staff. So, you know this place caters more to the non-Chinese population.
Some of the normal dishes we got, like the Beef Chow Fun, it was okay, but definitely not make more like the way Cantonese like it. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was also not to how I like it, but the West Lake Soup was really good and very meaty. Yum.
My favorite dish was the Salt and Pepper Pork Chops were perfect for me. The Honk Kong Sizzling Beef was good, too. The Kung Pao Chicken was fine, as with the Spicy Fish Fillet.
I'm thinking if I went in without my mom, we might not have gotten quite as good service, but not sure. Maybe it was a sense of not good communication. I was speaking Cantonese to the waiter, but didn't realize he spoke Mandarin, not Cantonese. The menu was a Cantonese menu, so my bad for assuming that he would know Cantonese.
So, if you don't know what more authentic Cantonese food, this food is fine. The portions are good, and colorful, too. And, it's not bad. It is a Chinese owner and cook. And it's close to home, within a few miles.
Oh, and we also had potstickers. These were fine, though, the skin was a little on the thick side.
It was good that they had pics of some of the foods on their menu.
I definitely think service is different if you're "white" or if you're Chinese or if you know the owner or not.
