Still closed, probably still recovering from the fire. I don't know why Google says it is open. I prefer this place over New Town Restaurant for hot, cooked food because of the portion size, affordability, and taste.

My favourite Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. Really good service and food. Hope you get recovered and I'll definitely revisit when you reopen.

The 5 star rating is to help them recover from a fire over the weekend. Hope they are up and running again soon for everyone's sake, especially the displaced residents of the SRO above them.

In mid- August, a guy in our building recommended Gain Wah to us and since he was of Chinese heritage, we gave his recommendation a lot of credibility. There were four of us and we ordered 10 dishes with the rice and noodles included. None of the dishes, not the shrimp, beef, chicken, mushrooms nor other vegetable dishes was memorable or rave- worthy. We were all disappointed.

Where to eat Chinese food when it's getting late...Gain Wah since they close at 11 daily except Mon. The menu is extensive and the service super friendly. Seems like Covid hit them and everyone hard, so they're only doing takeout which was fine for us. Parking was easy on street and just ignore the few locals hanging around with music, pets and some oddities. The regulars were popping in for food, sodas and the like, so it really felt like a part of the community. The owners were super friendly and food was good. The fish filet with vegetables (add extra buck for gai lan) over rice was flavorful and good amount of white fish. The roast pork char sui was real good in the wonton noodle soup. But the soup base was disappointing. Egg rolls were a bit greasy. So I'd say it really depends on what you order but the food was good overall just not awesome. The reviews on yelp and google really varies and I feel some of the negativity was inward. Again, it was a great option when it got late where your choices are more limited. Sorry no pics 'cause we were too hungry. Enjoy!

Was craving authentic Chinese food and this restaurant came in the search.due to covid, it's only take out but the food came out quick. I had the pleasure of speaking to the main waitress there and she was so pleasant and lovely. This restaurant has been here for 40 years and the food was delicious. Definitely support this local business whenever you want authentic Cantonese food!

Ordered for one and portion was five times too much and while tasty the food was very expensive.

Service is always fast and food is good if you are after something tasty late at night. They are so friendly and i am always met with a smile.What more could you want out of your local Chinese takeaway.(Mainly posting the menu for myself)

I used to love this place until a buddy and I split a plate of lemon chicken and it had been cooked with something that was clearly not a food product. We had to spit it out. Like the batter had solvent or harsh industrial detergent.... Not even like sprinkled on, it was overpowering. Like someone spraying WD-40 in your mouth (and I would know; if happened to me), but that's the best approximation I can use to describe it. We did not finish our meal and staff tried to convince us we were wrong and nothing was wrong with our food. After much resistance, the cashier finally did refund the meal that we clearly just imagined wasn't edible. I've had many meals here going back decades. There won't be any more.
Great place to eat Chinese food for the last 30 years. Still the same Chef and owner. Many chinatown orignal restaurants gone now. I'm very please to see this place still here. Food prices is fair and Employees are friendly. Side note when I was younger years ago I went crab fishing and the chef even cook it for me for a small price. Wonderful time 1990

Best Restaurant, most affordable price and amazing people. Dine-in closed but take out is worth it. If you haven't tried from here, just try it already.
