The service here is nice and food is served in a reasonable amount of time. There's about a dozen or so tables here. The atmosphere can be a bit loud if you're looking for a much more quieter dining experience. The food here is okay. I had the Honey Walnut Prawns, Ginger and Green Onion Crab Fried Rice, and Chicken Laab. The portions are generous, but lacks the more traditional South Eastern Asian taste, which can be a bit pungent. Not everyone likes that, I know. The rice didn't have much crab in it at all and the Laab has apples in it, which was something I didn't expect.

If you want good food you will get it here however this place is very noisy and can be rowdy at times. The music can be too loud sometimes depending on who's controlling it. It gives nightclub vibes. I prefer its sister location down the street but this is okay.

The food was amazing, inside atmosphere is loud but a great place to go with friends. the cashier had a horrible attitude, she seemed like it was a bother to pay her for the order and to get the order.

It’s been a minute since a restaurant pissed me off so bad that I had to write a review. I went last night for a birthday dinner and was hella underwhelmed. All the food was drowning in sauce, no effort to serve fresh well prepared standards (ordered Chicken broccoli, honey walnut shrimp, Mongolian beef, chicken chow mein, General Tsao wings, crab fried rice, garlic fries and egg rolls) and tasted like it came from a hood Chinese joint in Oakland. The ONLY plus is that they serve generous portions - but who wants big portions of poorly prepared. Whatever the hype was about this spot is underserved - my friend said that she used to go often a few years back and the spot used to have long waits - I can see why that WASN’T the case last night. Recruits better cooks and stop charging Alameda prices for cheap Chinese foods.

Fried rice with shrimp and crab is delicious 😋

I don't know what's going on, maybe they changed the owner, the employees but the food used to be much better. There are usually a lot of people, but there really weren't any customers when my husband went to get the food.

You basically serve and sit yourself. The guy sitting everyone was basically coming to the front then looks around and tells you that you can sit anywhere. If you needed him for anything, you had to get up and go get him or another person to assist, or were told to go to the register and ask them. 3 people were either directing customers, trying to figure out who was taking the food to what table while cleaning the tables and still doing everything else. Some people waited longer than others for their food. The dried fried ribs were Not Ribs. Weird. My Fried rice was very flavorful but the beef needed to be cooked a little longer. It was very packed and busy so that was a good thing but it is not what I thought it would be. People were waiting to be seated or waited on only to be told you can pick your own table where to sit. Would I go back. Probably Not. Not what I imagined for a Birthday Dinner.... 😔
