There is a limited lunch specials menu with about a dozen items under $10 pricing, but most other menu items are pricer than average here. For example, beef chow fun, a popular noodle dish, is $18.99, October 2024.

TL;DR - Mediocre and bland food with standard "so-so" service.
Dad brought me here upon recommendation and boy was it a disappointment. Salted fish rice was bland, but generous portions. Clay pot with fish/seafood/tofu was solid and interesting flavor. Seasoned goose "chef special" at $35 was a rip-off, gamey and chewy. Avoid this restaurant and go to "The Kitchen instead" down the street....

The fried beef river is very good and the seasonal vegetables in the soup are good. The portion is large.
The only drawback was that we were sitting near the fish pond, and while the chef was catching the fish, the fish flopped a few times and splashed water onto us who were eating. .

The steamed rice of biryani was fragrant and tasty- try it onvt5556ñ6l
The restaurant offers reasonably priced lunch specials.Unfortunately, there were two problems with the visit.One, although they already opened the door to customers, they were still vacuuming the restaurant, even after I have sat in my seat for well over 5 minutes (I did ask if it was ok for me to sit).The noise was loud and naturally air quality wasn't good since they used industrial grade vacuum. This was extremely disappointing. Even worse, they didn't realize I was ready to order despite attempts to do so after some of th staff finished vacuuming. This was simply not good service.Then, I was hoping that, since the restaurant staff all spoke Cantonese, at least the food should be good. This expectation arises from stories I have been told, where the general consensus is that the Cantonese speaking Chinese really know cooking well. I can't be certain of whether these stories are true, but I was truly disappointed in the food as well.I ordered sweet and sour fish over rice. It looked pretty good but it was not sweet but excessively acidic. If it weren't for the amount of rice which was given, I don't think I would have been able to eat the fish.Therefore, I can't recommend the restaurant for service or taste.However, the amount given was ample for around $12 (with tips included) for a restaurant, especially considering that it is in the City of Millbrae.I therefore would recommend it if you want something reasonably affordable, without expecting good service or taste.
