This is a sister restaurant of Tunc Ky on Jones Blvd. That restaurant has a 4+ star rating on Yelp and very rightly deservedly so.
This restaurant opened up on 6/1/18. My wife and I went there on 6/2. There were many on the wait staff and they were all running around with their heads cut off. Food service was slow, some dishes were OK, some not terribly good. I figured that this is a "new" restaurant symptom.
This evening, 6/10/18, we decided to give it another try. Since their sister restaurant caters mostly Cantonese style noodle dishes and BBQ Pork ( Char Siu ) type of food, we were hoping that this place will offer some real Cantonese/Chinese dishes.
Boy, were we disappointed. First of, we ordered a live Crab dish for US$45. The order went in and a few minutes later, the waiter came and advised us that today, they have run out of live crab. Can't they go next door/across the street to the super market to buy some live crabs??
Then we wanted a steam fish. The only sea water live fish they have is about 3+ pounds. At $33+ a pound, for the two of us, that is way too much. So we declined.
We ordered three dishes total:
Vegetable Chow Mein - a pure F. Portion is small and virtually there is no green vegetable, only mushrooms and sprouts. Worst of all, it is totally TASTELESS.
Beef Brisket in Curry Sauce in a clay pot - the sauce has good flavor. But the brisket is not tasty - I suspect that they braised the brisket first and then cooked in a curry sauce. Not an ideal method.
Three Treasure on a sizzling platter - the only dish that I can rate a A- for taste. But the plating and the dish presentation is awful. Without biting into the food, I cannot tell what is what, is it a tofu with meat?? or an eggplant with meat??
Pricing for this place is quite upscale. These three dishes together were over $55. Many other local Chinese restaurants would charge less.
One thing is for sure, if I want to have Wonton soup, Porridge, Chow Fun or Chow Mein, I would not come here. I will go to the old Tunc Ky on Jones.
Personally, I haven't given up on this place. I will wait for a month or so and try them again for some seafood. Hopefully by that time, they may have their stuff together.
