Three co-workers and I went to get crispy noodles at what used to be Golden Palace on King St. The new owners re-decorated and the place looks very clean and classy now. Haha, we went for crispy noodles like we used to be able to get at New Canton House on Hotel St but three of us chose the House Special with cake noodles … you choose between seafood and other meats; we all went for seafood. The fourth ordered e-mein with Seafood.
It took a while for the food to be prepared … the e-mein dish came well before the other orders. It was a large serving in a ceramic bowl … It looked really good. Our House Special came in what looked like glass pie plates. There was way too much gravy so the cake noodles quickly became soggy. Furthermore, the gravy was really watery … more soup than gravy. There was a generous topping of fish, squid, shrimp and choi sum. I would have enjoyed the dish much more had the gravy been served on the side.
Our plates ended up costing almost $27 each; a bit pricey for what we got. We should have ordered noodles to share and dim sum. We heard their har gow is excellent. What did we think? Call me...
Read moreCame here for the first time since they renovated and switched owners. This used to be my all time favorite until it became dirty and staff were filthy when serving our dim sums so we left and found our new favorite, Fook Lam. I ordered takeout and my usual favorites which are Siu Mai (pork hash) and Seafood Bundle in Bean Curd (seafood roll). They were both super delicious and juicy and the seafood roll was larger and packed with flavor. We also ordered chicken feet, shrimp dumplings, mini char siu manapuas, crispy char siu manapuas, fried bread sticks (Chinese fried donuts), steamed dumplings, pork spareribs, and beef look funn. Overall, cheaper than Fook Lam, food and portions is just as good sooooo I think I found my new favorite lol.
We ordered takeout so we didn’t get the dining experience. The staff were friendly and fast. Paid parking is limited and located in the back of the restaurant on Nimitz Hwy. Lots of...
Read moreCame here on Easter Sunday, on a whim while shopping Ctown for supplies. It was crowded as expected but we were able to get a table. Service was super slow for us (maybe cause there was only 2 of us?) and we waited a long time to get our orders in. Then waited another long time for our dim sum to arrive. I miss the days the cart would come as we could get all our food at the same time. They brought us basket after basket, staggered. I personally found that annoying and wanted to eat everything at the same time. We had steamed scallop look funn which was ok. The shrimp dumpling with chive was excellent and decent portion. We ordered 2 of those. My mr ordered 2 of siu mai and must've like it! The soup dumpling had just a tad of soup but came out nice and hot. Would I come here again? Maybe, on a weekday. It was also super loud which is understandable with so many families celebrating, just too loud...
