This is a treasure and let me tell you why. It used to be that many Chinese restaurants that opened before the 1970s not only had the restaurant but also a full bar depending on the size of the property. The Kuo Wah, a legendary Hong Kong style had a full bar and a nightclub on Grant Street in San Francisco. I think the bar is still there. Anyway, some history to look up. So it was a very wonderful nostalgic surprise to see this restaurant's interior which harkens back quite a few decades and it's full bar on the side. The bar is not big enough sitting and drinking, that's for your restaurant table. The menu is pretty expansive and We noted that lunch time had a lot of combination plates in a $12 to $13 range. The tea is nice and hot, and we chose just a basic meal. Broccoli chicken, bok choy with garlic, and white rice.. Broccoli chicken was good. I probably could have eaten a lot more in my younger days. The bok choy, however, was a wonderful surprise because it wasn't stringy and chewy, which is what you end up with a lot of the time. My bites crunched through, not chewy, and it was also delicious. Lot of classic dishes in the menu and I think over the the next couple of years I will make my way through them once in awhile. We don't go out much but definitely we will return. Another thing of note, I did not see any chopsticks. I think it's an all forks restaurant. That's fine because they serve incredibly varied community at that location. I think next time I may try their Hong Kong noodles or...
Read moreI have since ordering foods here because I initially found the foods nice. Lately however I ordered the wonton soup which normally costs $ 13+ but I specifically ordered for large +$9+ on top of the regular price of $13+ which amounted to $22+ and is delivered in 3 containers. This time, I was only given the 1 container instead of the 3 to meet the large order. I called the restaurant to clarify but insisted that the 1 container delivered is the large order which now costs $22+. They refused to acknowledge the problem and informed me to call instead the lady driver of doordash who has nothing to do with the foods as ordered. This restaurant is a definitely a big cheat and I will have no intention to order again from them as well as to warn other customers of their schemes to cheat. Moreover the staff is very rude and speaks only in the dialect that she could only understand....
Read moreMe and my family have been coming here for years. But because one of the employees behavior, we will not be coming back. She is very rude. We tried to place an order and she couldn’t understand us as she doesn’t know English well. She had been rude for years and sometimes she was nice but I’ve finally had enough of her attitude. After her getting impatient with us trying to place an order, she got our order and never came back. We flagged her down twice and one time she scoffed and ignored us, the second time she waved and acted like she was going to come to our table soon and she never did. We had to ask a different waiter for the check and water. This is the first time I didn’t leave a tip at restaurant. This isn’t a one time occurrence either. She has been rude to my mother many times over the years and we are done with this place. You’ll know who she is if you get her as...
