Update June 2024: This is my favorite place to get Chinese food. Recently we've been getting takeout because our lives are so busy. Everything always tastes great. The staff recognizes us and is always friendly. Today we got Bombay chicken, beef with green beans in black bean sauce, peking spareribs, beef chow fun, and assorted veggie tofu clay pot. Everything tastes spot on. Today wasn't so busy, but if it's Friday night, the weekend, or a holiday, this place is packed, and/or they are slammed with togo orders. Definitely coming back again. Original Review: Food was good as usual! If only I could keep eating. Yuen yang fried rice- big hit with everyone (this was new to 2 people in our party). Beautifully displayed. Both sauces were great, rice soaked up the flavor! Fried tofu- freshly fried, hot. Silky tofu and crispy outer. Shrimp tasted good with delicious brown sauce. (This was also new to the 2 people in our party and they were surprised that tofu was good!) Peking duck 2 ways - At first the crispy duck portion I thought looked a little measly/bony, not a lot of meat, not too pretty, but when the 2nd way came out, they really used all the meat for that, which I'm okay with. It overall tasted good which I think is more important. Sizzling rice soup- It tasted good/flavorful as well but was expecting the rice to sizzle more. The rice easily got soggy, was expecting more crunch. Tasted good though. Salt and pepper pork - not pictured. Very good too. I ate quite a bit of this. For one of our party they were new to it and thought it tasted good but wasn't expecting the spice, haha. The rest of the dishes were good too (see photos), albeit kind of not as special/banquety. We will definitely be back. We all enjoyed this meal greatly, and the service was good as usual.

Best food ever. I have been having dinner at least once a month for 10 years and never disappointed...

It's been around for nearly 20 years. Year in year out, like a reliable jalopy, it provides reliable meals. The flavors of its dishes is the traditional 80s Chinese style, a mixture of Cantonese and southern China and American. Good value meals!...and it survived the pandemic!

I love this place. It's the perfect place for Dim Sum. I've been here maybe 6 times. Busy but not full in occupancy. Reasonable wait for food. Great food. Reasonable noise still allows for easy conversation. Friendly staff and priced for the experience, about mid range.

The dim sum was excellent. And the service was even better. We were so happy to find a place that serves the foo kin style rice with the gravy. The server was very surprised we knew what it was and that we love it! We will definitely be back. Seems like they do more take out than dine in but it was also a Monday evening.

Food wise, it's pretty good. We had dim sum for lunch. They have the typical dim sum dishes. Personal, I feel the shell for the shrimp dumplings and chive dumplings are a bit thick. However that's just my preference. If you like the thicker shell dumplings, you'll like it here. Food comes out pretty quick and my shrimp eggplant dish was hot and crunchy. Yay. Fairly clean and good service from the s Look like you can do a small reception here for wedding.
