An all-around delicious seafood-specialty restaurant tucked away in Old Chinatown. The interior is cozy, simply decorated, and seats groups large and small. Our group of 8 was seated with no wait on a Sunday afternoon, and we ordered the following dishes (**= especially recommend):

Millionaire Fried Rice**: this was a unique dish that I’ve never had before and really enjoyed—it’s like a wet fried rice, a bit like congee in texture. The bits of seafood inside provided for some nice fresh flavors.

Salted Egg Yolk Shrimp**: the egg yolk coating on these large shrimps were strong and flavorful; I personally prefer it with shell-on.

Tea Smoked Duck (half)**: This duck was quite good— tender, juicy, and flavorful.

Egg Tofu with King Mushroom**: This was my favorite dish, as I’m a huge fan of Japanese egg tofu— the tofu is steaming hot, cooked perfectly, and bursting with a delicious fried egg flavor. The king mushroom’s texture pairs perfectly with the tofu.

Seafood Tom Yum Soup: fresh and aromatic flavors.

French Style Beef Tenderloin: the beef was very flavorful, but a tad overcooked for us.

Baby Boy Choy with Garlic: a classic vegetable that was well stir-fried.

Singapore Fried Noodle: These noodles were very flavorful and not too soft/over-cooked as it sometimes tends to be. I liked the variety of ingredients in here, from the shrimp to sausage to veggies.

The service was friendly and attentive, and since we spent over $100, we got to choose a “prize” from a hat, which turned out to be a free order of pan-fried dumplings with our next purchase. The total including tip was...

food was great, but not kid-friendly and the service was subpar. manager/owner instead of politely asking us to take away my son’s markers and papers (something to do while we wait for food), she immediately threatened to charge us if we damaged/color on her $1,000 granite table.

edited to add, took away star bc of gaslighting by owner: get your facts straight. it was two markers, we never carry any more. I would post a picture of my son sitting at the table with the two markers, but for his privacy I won’t. The owner (you) absolutely did threaten to charge us, as if I would make up that $1,000 price of that granite table on my own. I would hardly consider it to cost that much… much less the wobbliness of the table. I even saw you stuff napkins underneath another table in the front due to wobble. Please consider yourself taking better care of your precious tables. Also you have no idea if my kids had fun or not, my 5 year old daughter was very much aware you were watching us and...
