Review from 2017: Good Chinese food, no MSG, clean bathroom, okay service
Updated 8/12/25: Came here for business dinner. Ordered Salt & Pepper pork chop, Sautéed lamb with green onion, Stir fried string beans with minced pork, and mapo tofu. Except for the tofu, the other 3 dishes are yummy. The staff is attentive to fill our water and tea. It's quite busy on a Tuesday evening, it's quite noisy and not ideal for a meeting.

Lobster in the SGV at its finest. This place is a 626 super star.
Visited on a Sunday night. Arrived at 5pm and there was already people waiting to get it. By 5:30, it was a packed house.
Must get the Lobster, cooked and served with noodles.
The unlimited iced tea is a nice touch.

Food was great especially the lobster. Very interesting combination of spices and the lobster meat was surprisingly tender despite it being a stir fry.
The waiters were all pretty good except for this one lady who kept acting like we owed her. Rolling her eyes while taking our order and when we wanted to add a dish after changing our order she was basically arguing with us about not adding it. Don’t know why a waiter would be opinionated about customers ordering more food.
Overall great food, good service barring one waitress.

I tried the shrimp clear noodle pot and the lamp with mushrooms. Both tasted good and authentic Cantonese style.

Food tastes awesome but dishes came out tooooo SLOW. The second dish took 37 mins after order and the 3rd one took well over 60 minutes..Unacceptable.

What a phenomenal recommendation from David Chan (@chandavkl)!!! This was an experience I definitely couldn't pass up, the restaurant is classic and a rare gem.
The ambiance is something I miss these days, bright and classic Chinese design, white linen table cloth with an explosive energy! Bring your family, bring your friends, this is a big event type of restaurant.
For my dinner I selected the following items as I wanted to try something I don't typically see anymore.
- Tiger Prawn with Glass Noodles (recommendation from David) - Minced Lamb with XO sauce and mushrooms
The flavors were satiating, iconic and unique. I would love to bring my friends and family here so we could get a proper 8 dishes to share and explore, that really is the only way to taste everything properly! My meal was most excellent, flavors memorable, and has me craving for more.
The staff was phenomenal, with 5 people attending me at all times and making sure that tea was filled, plates were refreshed, and timing of dishes were on track. It was a beautiful orchestra of front and back of house tying together hundreds of different experiences into a symphony of gastronomic delight!
Come by, bring lots of people, and share a fantastic memory!
New area residents, first and last time customers, unless moved to visit again in the future by an act of god. Went there at 3pm on a Friday and they were open but cleaning the floor, which was soaking wet. Since the floor was wet they cranked up the air full blast which led to an uncomfortable cold feeling that forced me and my girlfriend to leave before finishing our food. Service was poor, they were out of several dishes on the menu. They brought us our food before bringing our drinks. They only remembered to bring our drinks when we asked them for something. Asked for to go boxes and the boxes had holes at the bottom so anything with juice in it ran out into the bag, so had to ask for a second bag on the way out. Wasn’t impressed at all and can’t believe how the restaurant is rated so highly. Look for other nearby alternatives if you are going to this establishment based on others reviews or recommendations.

I decided to try this place from Eater recommendation. All of the food was good and unlimited ice tea refills was unexpected. I recommend the fried pig feet and the clam dish. Very Cantonese flavors and atmosphere. Make sure you call and make a reservation. It seemed to be always packed. They also run out of certain dishes, but mostly able to find alternative.

I often go to the kitchen to eat, the taste is really delicious! Although you will be informed that the tip has been collected when you enter the door, the overall service level is very high! The waiter came over as soon as you greeted him, and the food was served quickly. After the meal, we will leave a separate tip on the table for the catering staff who served us! I highly recommend everyone to go!

Great place for Cantonese food. Have come here a few times and every dish is done well. A must get is the lobster, which they do very well. They specifically use female lobsters and even incorporate the eggs in the sauce, which is very flavorful.
Also tried their chicken wings, very juicy and well done. The green beans are also well done and addictive. Their morning glory pairs well with the fried items, like fried pork.
Service is fast, they even change your plates when you have too much crowding it. The place is also very lively, as it was pretty busy even on a weekday night.
