| - Came here with my wife and brother for dinner after having lunch here that day.
The ambiance of this restaurant is your typical Cantonese restaurants in Chinatown. Nothing fancy, but quite clean and tidy. Pictures of food on the wall. Wait staff is very helpful.
First lunch, we ordered:
1. Spicy beef slices - $3.99. Beef is slightly tough, but otherwise an excellent dish. If the beef slices were soaked in the porridge, it is softened a lot. I will rate this dish a B+.
2. Jelly fish - $3.99. Good tasty dish for appetizers. A solid A-.
3. Onion Pancake - $3.00 . Another solid B+.
4. Meat Ball Porridge - an excellent bowl of porridge. A solid A.
Then for dinner, we ordered:
1, Scallion Crab - a super dish. One of the best crabs I have had. An A, no ifs or buts.
2. Broccoli in white wine sauce - another solid A.
3. Spicy beef slices - a repeat from this morning.
4. Steam Bleeker Fish ?? - We made an error on this. This type of fish should be pan fried and not steamed. If it were steamed, the fish meat texture will be too mushy. Not an issue with the cook. Still it is not a great dish.
5. Princess Chicken ( ??? ) -- too tough but when we were asked how the dishes were, we indicated to the waitress and this dish was not charged. This dish would have gotten a D+.
Both lunch and dinner were served with house soup -- Cantonese soup. Rice comes with the entrees. Tea is without question, part of the meal.
A very enjoyable dinner place. If you like Cantonese seafood, you will like this place.
I have a rough time to give any Chinese restaurant a 5 star, but this one comes close to it. But because of the ambiance, because of the fish dish, and also because of the chicken dish, I lowered it to a 4 star. Although, I can be talked into giving it a 5 star.
