Taste of Chao Shan 够力潮汕美食

Good food for the price. Things are clean, service is good.

So the food is just so so. It's not as good as the Chao Shan beef in China. What's more disappointing is that THEY DO NOT ACCEPT AMEX.

Great and authentic chinese food. The place is a little small but the food tastes great and you can see what you are ordering. I recommend the roast duck.

Wait is a little long. The owner is very nice and he can really cook.

Awesome food and great service!

I used to really enjoy the food here, but after two unfortunate experiences, I can’t see myself coming back.

On my first visit, I found a huge cockroach in my noodles—right after I had almost finished the entire meal. The owner I spoke to then was understanding and professional, which made me decide to give the place another chance.

Unfortunately, during my second visit, I was extra cautious because of my previous experience. Despite this, I found another bug in my food—a leaf bug. I informed the waitress, who kindly had the kitchen prepare a new bowl for me. However, when I mentioned this issue to a different owner while paying the check, the response was dismissive and unprofessional. Instead of acknowledging the problem, she insisted their vegetables were “washed very carefully” and showed no real concern or apology.

Finding bugs in my food twice is alarming, but the lack of accountability and empathy on the second visit made it worse. Once trust is lost, it’s hard to regain. Sadly, I won’t be returning.

Very authentic

We ordered the beef hotpot. In which, had great quality meats in three cuts, and beautifully crafted, steaming hot bone soup base. One of the better meals I’ve had recently and certainly would visit again.

We ordered the signature beef hotpot set, the oyster pancake, a pork claypot, and a soup noodle. The beef cuts and the pork meatballs are unique. They all tasted great and didn't suffer from a dreaded common occurrence where every dish tasted the same, like it's made from one sauce. Service was pretty good too. Price wasn't too bad, $115 before tip for those said items. As far as I know, this is the only place that serve this style of beef hot pot (one reviewer said otherwise). Place is kinda small so i can see waiting maybe an issue, the Parking space is right just for the amount of tables they have.

Here for the beef hot pot. We had their signature appetizers, beef shank, fresh cut beef, beef tripe, wagyu beef, rice noodle, fries tofu skin, duck blood, and some veggie s. I would say everything is fresh and up to expectation. The things that impressed me are the fried tofu skin not just the taste but also the aroma of it. Also their shacha sauce is definitely homemade and it indeed tastes good and has its own special flavor. I still prefer the other one in San Gabriel more as their soup base is more flavorful and the rice noodles are much better.

Food was way too expensive, hotpot was just water and corn with fish balls. No broth or seasonings.

Highly recommended!

Very authentic Chao Shan hotpot. The appetizers were spot on, especially 红糖糍耙 which was super impressive (I didn’t even get a chance to snap a pic before it was gone). And I loved the chill, family-style vibes.

Great taste and service
