Delicious! Special mention to the corn soup! It was the best texture that I've ever had any Chinese restaurant.I especially love how they are open until 2:00am everyday so even after being at the pub, they are an option for a late night dinner.The service was very quick and the interior decor classic and pleasing to the eye.

There are better options out there. We only go because we have to. The sesting arrangement is cramped and they try to fet 3 seatings in so you're rushed through dinner service.

Long time to run business here, same boss same taste but not same prices. In fact, people still like to dine in or take out this restaurant. It means that good deal and good taste. I agree that.

The price is very good!And the food is OK service all good ?

I've eaten there at least 8 times in the last 2 years, good, tasty food with lots of choice on the menu.About four sittings ago, the waitress informed me of their combination eat-in menu-order 2 dishes and receive 2 bowls of rice, Deep Fried Tofu w/ Peppery Salt, soup and dessert.I don't know how other patrons have been treated but all 4 times they inform me they have run out of either soup or dessert or both. I ask if they could provide substitute soup or desert and they firmly said 'NO".Once ,the excuse was that I came too late(around 10:00 pm)-the next time I was there at 7pm-same problem. They only are open from 5pm -2am, sort of scam if you asked me.A good restaurant will substitute something or make it up in another way if you are charged for something they have run out of.

It’s your typical south China fare but the food is really good. Service is fast and probably necessary because it's a small place and very busy so the tables need to turnover quickly. Fortunately you can make reservations, which is highly recommended. Had the usual dishes. The portions were generous and reasonably priced, so no one should be leaving hungry. Great for groups. I would come back. Drop me a Like if you found this helpful.

Sandy La, this local own business has been here long time, one of my friend live by and our dinner gathering before from Covid-10 until now, has never change. We are so addictive to here, not only the food sooooooooodelicious. also price are reflect to the quality.... You may not believe, some dishes can not be ready when you just sit in, you have to order in advance day or so. the chef able to work that especially " Whole Chicken "... Limited stuff work here, kind and patience will be rewards to your hungry belly.

Ive never been to this place but it does open late night for chinese da laang (small dishes)If you buy more than $25, it comes with plain congee (literally water and rice) which usually pairs with small dishes that are fried/salty.Salt pepper deep fried chicken knee - good portion for the price. Chicken is juicy and the chinese salt-pepper taste was goodSalt pepper deep fried silver (white) fish - very poorly done. Overly fried and the inside of the fish is no longer fish texture but hardened. It is supposed to be chewy but it feels like just deep fried bits.Mapo tofu - not spicy at all. Not even the flavor or spicy bean paste. It has it's own flavor which tastes good but not mapo tofu style sauce.Fried chinese donut - for some reason it didn't come out until we were almost finished with everything. Freshly fried though.So dishes are hit and miss so it depends on what you order.

Insanely good value. So yummy and cheap for late-night.Top picks would be silver fish, Chinese donut and the free congee when you spend 25. The #100 hotpot beef brisket with rice cakes is obscene

Generous portion and price is quite affordable. Super busy most of the time so reservations are recommended. Tables are spaced quite close together. Staff is efficient. Parking is difficult though with very limited space at the plaza.
