| - (Ken K. previously stated this is (was?) a shanghainese restaurant. i don't know about its past, but far as i know--from couple years ago, this place appears more of a cantonese-style/seafood restaurant to me.)
my cousin (a local) brought me to this place for their "giant lobster 4 ways" set:
1) steamed claws w/soy sauce, scallion & clear vermicelli;
2) sautee tail w/supreme soysauce;
3) "harbor (haven?) style" (high-heat sautee w/deep fried shallots, garlic, spice & etc) legs;
4) fried rice w/tomalley (the green stuff, i was told that is liver).
not only that, they have at least 4 kinds of desserts to choose from, which are all of superior quality and atypical for a chinese restaurant. on usual menu is a kind of sweet soup, glutinous rice balls w/black sesame paste inside, mango mochi, and "go lick dou sa" (beaten egg white w/red bean paste inside, sprinkled w/sugar; it's soft like a souffle).
they also serve king crabs along with the gigantic lobsters nightly, but it may be a good idea to make reservations on busy nights/weekends. i'm not particularly crazy about seafood to begin with, but if i'm in the mood of some good dishes, i'll come here. regular dishes is about $10-15 each, but if you go for the giant lobster set, that can easily jack up your bill right past the $200 mark.
