I haven't had the pleasure of visiting the restaurant but I ordered Postmates delivery from here and the food was so mouthwatering and delicious that I HAD to leave a review. It's been so long since I had a bite of Chinese food from a restaurant and the initial response was YUMMY. Sometimes there's way too many green onions added or it's too oily, etc., but in general, it's too much. The abalone and chicken porridge and the spicy salt baked frog that I ordered from this restaurant was perfect! I thought that the restaurant would skimp the abalone and minimize the amount but they gave me at least 5 juicy slices of abalone in the porridge. I thought the chicken would be dry, chunky thick pieces but the chicken they gave me was soft and chopped up, savory and melted in my mouth, blending perfectly with the porridge, which had some slices of ginger but not overwhelming. The frog was easy to chew, not too salty, perfectly spicy. Such a wide selection of menu items too! I'll have to try other items next time since my stomach can only fit so much in...
Read moreCame here for the first time to celebrate my mom's birthday bc the photos to the reviews look good. The restaurant was empty when we got there on a Saturday 6pm. We ordered the $108 seafood special plus tomato beef chow mein and wet beef ho fun for a party of 8. The special included fish maw soup, mustard greens mushrooms, walnut shrimp, tofu with shrimp topping, fried fresh lobster, steam sole fish, and mixed vegetables with fish fillets. So it's like $15 per dish, which was pretty good deal. However, the food was just so so. It doesn't taste fresh. The shrimp topping tasted like undercooked corn starch. My husband found a piece of wire mesh, like a scrub sponge in his soup. However, I didn't feel much of the msg aftertaste so that's a plus. You get what you pay for. Can see why this restaurant is empty compared to the Ming Dynasty few blocks down. The decor and the food are subpar compared to other Chinese Seafood restaurants. Will only come back to try other non...
Read moreOrdered dinner selection of three dishes. House soup is good, traditional, unlike egg soup that resembles a thick corn starch base soup flavored with MSG.
Two dishes faired well: tofu and bbq pork (some pieces were okay, and some old meat. They are discolored.) and chicken with Chinese broccoli.
Yet third dish was a disaster: soy sauce chicken. Often restaurants re-cook meat to serve customers, yet the chicken meat was obviously old meat. I could not chew through one piece. It was tough from drying out. The meat had inedible dark areas. That is a sign it is old meat.
My daughter said it did not taste as soy sauce chicken. She made the remark, before I offered my opinion of the piece I attempted to eat. We gave the remaining plate of chicken back to the kitchen, saying we could not eat them.
I know how to make this dish, therefore can distinguish old meat from fresh meat. And I do not mean an old hen...as they...
