Came here to celebrate grandma's birthday! Kinda felt like a wedding with all the food we ordered. I've only come here for the lobster noodles in the past, and was excited to try a variety of dishes this time.
It was mostly empty on a Sunday evening. There was another big party, but I mostly saw takeout orders. The service was attentive. Here's what we got:
-peking duck buns: The skin was super crispy and some meat parts were dry. Loved the fluffiness of the buns, no sogginess here. I'd recommend asking for more buns, green onions, and possibly more sauce because there's a lot of meat.
-fried rice with fish roe: This came with shrimp (and possibly scallop?). It was mild
enough to accompany the flavorful proteins on our table, although you can eat it alone too. My grandma was a fan!
-honey walnut shrimp: Battered and thinly-coated shrimp tossed in a mayo sauce that wasn't too thick although every part of the shrimps were coated. The shrimp meat was soft and chewy.
-lobster garlic noodles: A classic lobster dish that had flavorful garlicky egg noodles tossed with garlicky-seasoned lobster. Had to use a fork to pull out the lobster meat.
-ginger lobster: Tasty sauce with ginger and spiced coating the lobster meat. Really enjoyed this one!
-fried lobster: Always love this dish; it's better to pull the meat out and then taste some of the breading outside of the lobster shell.
-sweet and sour fried pork: Good balance of sweet and tartness coating the breaded pork. The thinness of the pork worked well, and we ate it with fried rice.
-crispy fried pork: Tasted garlicky and I liked the jalapeños that came with it. Too salty to eat on its own so we ate this with fried rice too. Same thinness as the sweet and sour pork.
-stir fried greens and shiitake mushrooms: This was the last thing I ate because I needed vegetables in me. I love bitter mustard greens. The mushrooms, however, packed such a flavorful punch that it stayed in my mouth, even after dessert. Just be aware of the strong mushroom flavor if you eat this!
The meal ended with slices of oranges on ice! The oranges were quite sour but it's a decent palate cleanser. They also gave us plates and utensils for a cake we brought in. All in all a lovely dining experience for my family!
My mom loves coming here for chinese food! We came with a party of 8 people & were seated quickly. We decided to order one of the set menus for 10 people. The food came out fast & the servers were so friendly!
Portions are huge!!!! The food was all delicious. I especially enjoyed their fried rice that had fish eggs, honey walnut prawns, and pork ribs.
I would definitely come back whenever I'm craving some chinese dishes.
We just celebrated my dads 70th birthday party. Food was just perfect for both the old and young. We had 4 tables and ordered the 8 course menu. We had the crab soup, lobster, oyster mushrooms and bok choy, roasted duck, king fried rice, shaken beef, chow melon, bbq pork, mayonnaise walnut shrimp, salted pork , and whole steamed fish.
Hmm these dishes in particular did not hit and I do not recommend but I did order other stuff which was delicious that I didn't take pic of it lol
The food was so spectacular that I forgot to take a picture. Buuuuuut for these two dishes... not good. The sauce to the mandarin chicken was sooooo sweet and icky tasting and the beef was tough to eat! It wasn't succulent lol it was like beef jerky texture
Will continue ordering other items because they have been so good. Like the beef chow fun is AMAZING! Highly recommend that. Sweet and sour pork is godly!
I have that other photo of veggies, the roasted duck, and veggie egg drop soup. All three were delicious. That was on a different day lol I recommend the roasted duck. It's so tender and juicy and flavorful
Tried the DOUBLE lobster and garlic noodles today .... 5 stars
Best part of the ambiance is the glowing red dragon's eyes , otherwise it is pretty much a no frills restaurant.
Service was quick ... not what I'd call a date worthy restaurant, but they have really good food.
