Honestly speaking this restaurant has been on my checklist for almost a year - I was hesitant due to these bad reviews. But in the end I decided to give it a shot because it's really rare to find an authentic Chinese Northeast restaurant in South Florida.Some reviews are not wrong, but after knowing that it's a small family run restaurant (only 3 people in total and they're not young) I think it's quite understandable that they don't provide free ice water and no fancy decoration inside. I'm not looking for excuses for them, but I came in as the only table on a Monday afternoon and service was almost the warmest I ever had. Dishes constantly came in with no problem and I kinda like the freedom to grab different drinks by myself (check their fridge out they have traditional Chinese soy milk).Everything here is loyal to the original Chinese Northeast taste which brought me back to the old time. Here's my must-try list:- Sliced house style porkIt's always my favorite. My American friend loves it too. He said it's like an super advanced version Orange chicken but actually pork.- Korean cold noodlesSo fresh after spicy bbq in this hot weather.- Skewers- sauteed potatoes, peppers and eggplantsI will definitely come back with friends in the future to try the traditional copper pot hot pot. :)
Friends. I hope you all go to this restaurant with caution. The house is very dirty, there is no water in the room, you need to buy water yourself, the price is bizarre, and the bathroom cannot be entered. Service attitude is poor. A very dirty grandpa in the hall was not wearing a mask and gloves while making kebabs. irresponsible attitude. I hope you are careful not to be fooled.
Forget Chinatown, this is some of the best and most authentic Northern Chinese food I have ever had outside of Beijing or Dongbei China!!!! This NOT American Chinese food. This is REAL Authentic Chinese food with homemade noodles, dumplings and amazing 串 pronounced (chew war). Basically thin pieces of meat (highly recommend the spicy lamb) on a stick. If you order in advance, they even have authentic Chinese hotpot (火锅）pronounced (who wo guo).
I went there, and there was only one table.the guy (I don't know if he is owner or what ). take menue at cashier with stting on chair. ordered lamb skewers & the taste was so salty & horrible. also, ordered sliced pork house style, tasted all the flour & no meat. I checked it by taking the flour & didn't find any meat. ordered mixed vegetables, it is just cucumber salad ? ordered squid skewers & he bring whole squid with charging big money on it which more than the price on menue !!!used credit card to pay, there is cash adjustment, don't know what it means . I wish there is zero start. not really recommended to go there. if you go, please order one time & check it. if you think the taste good, then order next. I learned from this bad experience, it is worth than I paid the bill.
Had a delightful dinner here. If you have ever traveled within Asia you will easily recognize the style of cooking as the ideal pairing of mouth numbing chili and savory salt that goes perfectly with a cold beer at a night market.Most of the items fall into the category of skewers but they have a very broad collection of main dishes. Definitely get the soups and the pork dishes and don't skip the refreshingly cold and pickled vegetables.On a whim we tried the dumplings are were delighted to see handmade style ones very similar to what we'd get in the day markets in Taipei. I was very impressed with the flavor and for the price to value it is amazingly cheap.Highlights were the grilled eggplant and oysters due to the sheer flavor bomb of garlic and chili that contrasted to the cumin and pepper style skewers. Will be back soon to try their other seafood dishes.
To the reply back to the review of sioulian Chen: wow the owner is an absolute liar, since they want to it that horribly. I’m going to explain all the details here, when we enter the restaurant, they told us to sit down somewhere, and we didn’t know where was the menu until we see some papers on the table by the wall(they didn’t even let us know), and we looked and waited for them to come, they finally asked us from far away what we want( in their reply, they said we took 40 mins to order, when they are the ones supposed to go up to their customers first) my friend said the noodles, and I was still deciding, and asked question for one of the dish, the server replied just some mixed vegetables, and I asked again if he could explain with more details, he then answered very impatiently. So I didn’t want to order anymore. He then kept asking and very pushing with what I want to order, I told him I’m not eating, so he said only one bowl of noodles? From the owners reply he said “ONLY one bowl of noodles for two people!” Excuse me what is wrong with that!? Thank god we did not order more stuff because it would be definitely not worth it. And this is the FIRST restaurant I’ve ever been to that serves no water and force to either buy the bottle of water or no water! Their noodles were so salty that we needed water but had nothing! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS? I only felt bad because the grandma that brought us food was nice. But I 100% strongly suggest you not to come here for their bad service. And I know the owner is never going to apologize and is going to reply with “don’t ever come back here, you guys are not welcome something like that” and let me tell you, you don’t have tell us that I WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THIS TERRIBLE PLACE!!
No service and no water only bottle water that cost money, the owner attitude was very pushing and sarcastic overall don’t recommend!
never go back again, drove AN hour for this place , It looks shadyThe waitress(look like the owners wife) was inpolite, Saying we ordered too little waste gas.!iithe bill was $30 for two of us.The meat come out. Very cold, I guess she didn't want to waste gasIt was totally disappointed.
Xiaohongshu) 22:18 イ令 Caili Southeast Xia く O China Cafe super poor sunrise Chinese restaurant China cafe to enjoy sunrise, we searched for nearby Northeastern dishes, Google Maps pushed this Northeast restaurant, we found it is very simple, we After sitting for ten minutes, I called the boss to order the food. There were four skewered potatoes and lamb skewers, two beef skewers, and 1.75 yuan for a kidney. Later, I added a bowl of cold noodles during the meal. We found that no one was pouring water, and we told the boss that we wanted water, but we had no choice but to buy his drink. We didn't want to drink his drink, so we went back to the car and took the sour plum soup. But in an American restaurant, I was very dissatisfied when I first encountered a restaurant that does not provide guests with water. There are a total of eight small tables in the restaurant. There is no decoration and it is very simple. There is no waiter and the owner is a family of three. I didn’t say anything when it was served, and my face was expressionless, which made others feel particularly indifferent. Yes, I barely ate a few bites and it feels very bad. The most important thing is that she wrote a bunch of waists of 1.75, but the checkout charges 5 yuan, I said why the menu prices are different, the boss said that the price has been adjusted? Doesn't the United States always follow the prices that customers see? At the checkout of 93 yuan, I didn’t give a tip because there was no service, and there was no water. As a result, a family of three chased out and scolded. I said that the restaurant does not have any service, and the water is not provided. Why did you tip? Tipping is based on the level of service. I will not give a tip in a bad review today. Oh my god, they come out together and want to hit someone. I didn't care at all, turned my head and left. The address of the hotel is 11419 W Palmetto Park Rd, Boca Raton, FL 33428# ！
The menu is a bit strange for the unfamiliar palette. I ordered lamb skewers. They were delicious. The people are very friendly too.
