Both 慈哥 & Joe were very hospitable & time-efficient in delivering us delicious authentic Cantonese style food, most popular among in South East China.

Bbq pork and side pork were really savory. Fried rice with salted fish and green with crispy fish were better than expected.

Picked up takeout here and was surprised when they asked for a tip. I don’t mind tipping for service, but for simple pickup it feels unnecessary. The food might be okay, but this left a really bad impression. Do not recommend.

Really bad service. We were told cash only at check out without any notice beforehand. There was no sign saying cash only either. Had to run to the bank to get cash.

It's old school hole in the wall and I used to eat here 40 years ago. The food is the same... So good. Gai lan with garlic sauce, Chow fun and chicken with black bean sauce. It was so so good just like I remember. When you walk in you can smell the authenticity. Cash only like 40 years ago.

This restaurant has been around Alhambra for many years. Their dine-in menus are very affordable with generous portions, but it's only cash based. Servers there are very fast and responsive. As soon as you sit, you will have hot tea, menu, and setting on your table. Lunch menu is on the back with the starting of $10.99 for each item. Sometimes, their portions could be very inconsistent, so it depends on who work on the kitchen. Other than that, this is my go-to restaurant for lunch sometime.

Very bad, because I can only pay for the meal in cash, so it wastes a lot of my time. The merchant did not inform me in advance, and there was no prompt in the store. I don’t like to use cash because I don’t like to find a bunch of change. In addition, I can’t eat by myself. I didn’t order much, the waiter didn’t even give me tea, she only gave it to me after asking. It was super bad.

The service attitude of the cashier lady was too bad, but the roast duck still tasted good.

Angela

The attitude of the cashier at the front desk was too bad, as if he owed her money.

Nostalgic vibe and price (the price feel like travel back in time, before the pandemic). Staff could speak some English, they are very welcoming if you speak Chinese with them.
