This is a new restaurant has a nice decor and comfortable seating. We ordered Peking duck (no reservation needed), Peking duck soup, and a set meal of steamed shrimp with garlic and vermicelli. The shrimp was very fresh, I was surprised. They have many opening promotions now, with 5-6 dishes on special for $9.9. The food was delicious, served quickly, and the service was excellent. We will definitely come back!
Highly recommended Chinese Restaurant in Irvine
This place is such a hidden gem! We ordered the Peking duck set, ribs, and fish, and it was only about $30 per person. The value is incredible!
A lot of dishes are only $9.90, but the food definitely doesn’t taste like “cheap food.” Everything was flavorful, beautifully presented, and satisfying. The Peking duck was one of my favorites, and the ribs and fish were also delicious.
The restaurant has even been featured in Michelin for three consecutive...read full review
