Food was ok. When we were finished we had to flag someone down for the bill. No one ever checked to see if we were happy with our food.

A very nice place for lunch. Authentic and reasonably priced Cantonese food in a casual setting.

Worst resturant I have ever been to. Period. Out of any country and my entire lifetime. The resturant food quality is horrible even compared to panda express standards. The walnut shirmp was cold and scrambled on the plate; they put a random mayonaise sauce on it without any sweetness whatsoever. The shrimps were also not fresh. The orange chicken was not made fresh either, and was mixed with a bunch of sugary substances to mask the dry chicken. Rude servers who demanded a tip from me. Cups and plates were unclean and smelled like old dish rags. There's a lot of much nicer restaurants such as Saigon Pho right next door so I would recommend going there instead of this dumpy shack.

I was skeptical about this place at first but I really wanted to have Chinese cuisine with my colleagues. So we planned a dinner and to my surprise, this place really satisfied my Chinese cravings. It is a bit different Chinese food that I had back home in fiji, but I am not complaining. This was really good. At reasonable prices too! Would go there again when my Chinese craving comes again! Totally recommend

1st visit:- The staff is friendly and nice, but the food is just so-so. We came for lunch, so we ordered rice and noodles. The braised duck wonton noodles soup is just so plain. They left the braised duck on a side dish, it was quite oily, so you had to eat them with the noodles, and much soy sauce for some flavors. I ordered a combo, fried rice with rolls and sweet and sour pork, and instantly regretted because I underestimated the amount of food. The pork fried rice is good, but the rest of the combo is disappointing. We also ordered mapo tofu because we really loved that dish, but their mapo tofu lacked spiciness. All we could tasted is sweet. That’s not mapo tofu at all.2nd visit:- This time we stayed away from noodle soups and ordered dishes that can go with steam rice. The kung pao chicken is really good. It has the smell of what a Cantonese would call, the taste of the wok, “wok hee”. The honey walnut prawn is a bit sweet, but the spicy & sour soup nails it. Just the right amount of spiciness and sourness.=> I would say it’s a decent Hong Kong restaurant. I’d love to try other dishes, but not the noodle soups.

Good value for hong kong style Cantonese food.The roast duck is quite good.Soup noodles are a bit bland.Overall, good value.Vegetarian options: Lots of options, they are willing to make changes when requested.Parking: Medium sized parkjng lot in front of the restaurant. Nearly empty dur I ng weekday, but likely crowded on weekends.

The food was delicious, and best of all despite coming there before closing time they still served us and did not rush us even after they closed. The environment was also very comforting

We ordered food to go last Saturday, I should have trusted my nose that it didn't smell right. We both got food poisoning. Ordered chicken chow mein and broccoli beef

Fantastic food! I love everything I've ever gotten from here. My family and I have been ordering from this place for years for our special occasions. Never disappoints! Deep fried bean curd in black bean sauce, shrimp in lobster sauce, salt and pepper spare rib, and the West lake minced beef soup are ALL exceptionally delicious! The crispy noodle chow mein with seafood is a family favorite.

This restaurant has been a favorite of ours for more than 5 years, but our recent experience has been disappointing. Less flavor and less proteins in the dishes. Will probably give it another chance and hope for improvement.
