All of the dishes were on “lunch special” menu ranging from $9.99 to $11.99. This place is Cheap but their dishes are good except the lamb with ginger&scallion.
Lobster $19.99/lb
King crab $45.99/lb

This is a fairly new Chinese restaurant. We were curious about the mixed reviews and decided to give it a try. The lunch special menu has a wide variety of selection from $9.99 up. We ordered 6 dishes for 5 people and plenty of food left to take home. The food is decent, overall good for typical Chinese food. The preserved veggie with pork belly was the best. The flavor was very authentic using the 南乳(red bean curd) and the pork belly melt in your mouth. I wished there was more preserved veggie that soaked up the flavor, perfect to eat with steam rice.

Not a bad place to go to for some Chinese food. Disclaimer: I only visited here with family and we had an entire set course dinner menu, so it's not a typical experience. But the service was great and the food was pretty good overall. One downside is that the parking lot is quite small, so if you come during peak hours, you might not find a parking spot. You would have to find a spot on the street or another alternative. The interior is also a bit cramped; seems like they tried to cram as many tables and chairs as possible to maximize the limited space they have. But overall, the food was good, the service was great, and I would come back here again.

Tonight was my first time to this restaurant. My niece treated the entire family to dinner. We had 28 family members and ordered 34 dishes for 3 tables. The food was good, but a little on the salty side. They made a mistake and gave us the wrong dish. We ordered seafood chow mein, but they gave us soy sauce chow fun. We wanted a refill on the rice, but they didn't have any cooked rice. Otherwise, I would recommend this place for a nice family meal. I will return sometime in the future to try other dishes.

The food was good, but the service was hampered by being too busy and understaffed.

Food was good.
Don't order any deep fried food. The fried food were not good, too long in the oil.

The food taste awful. Clam basil has no basil taste. Tomato eggs taste like drinking sweet tomato sauce. Don’t waste money here!

Food's ok for the price. We ordered 5 items from their Dinner Special menu. Shrimp and Cod were decent. Cumin Lamb & Egg Plant with Salted Fish weren't that great. The meat pie with preserved mustard plant was too salty. But it went well with lots of rice.

Service was problematic. The server that took out order was rude, didn't deign to confirm our order as other servers were doing. When he delivered the wrong stuff, we told him it wasn't in our order and he threw a pissy fit, yelled at us and said we ordered the wrong stuff. Other staff saw the whole episode. Two other servers took over for Mr. Rude. They now treated us decently. However the family dining experience was ruined.

Ambience? It was okay I suppose. The only thing that marred it was a misbehaving young girl at the next table. Apparently, her parents took away her iPad when they were about to eat. She was having none of it, screaming, hollering, kicking, the works. She showed excellent stamina and might represent USA in temper tantrum gymnastics in '36. Good thing she trained her parents well. When my uncle asked the father if she was ok, they quickly gave her back her iPad like well trained parents would do. Then there was peace.

Anyhow, it was not a good dining experience. Some within the restaurant's control and some not so much. I don't think I'd come back. But you might have a better experience than I did.

Cheap, decent food, I suggest to do TO-GO instead of dining in. It's a great place to hang out and talk to friends because food comes out slow. I think the old Asian people prefer that slowness as well.
