This is a must try no frills Cantonese dining spot in Chinatown.

The Peking duck was solid, if anything a little cold but the flavor was yummy. My favorite dish was the Char Siu, definitely not like the Char Siu we have back with our Canto folks in Tijuana, but it was nice to try the authentic one here!! The Chow Mein and Chinese Sausage Fried Rice were also shockingly amazing, they were perfectly balanced and paired really well with the chili oil they provide.

The servers were also extremely attentive and diligent; they welcomed us with warm cups of tea and didn’t have us waiting long at all. And as the cherry on top, as a group of 3 we ate well and took some leftovers all for only 60 bucks 🤣🤣. I absolutely loved everything about this place; the food, the vibes, the people, the price, but most importantly the quality of the experience.

10/10 from us, and even though this isn’t San Diego this place is 100% DAYGOEATS CERTIFIED✅📋

For some, jook (rice porridge) is that staple dish that reminds them of their parents love on a day home from school. GK's jook is that. Its hard to explain how nostalgic their jook is while coupled w their fried Chinese donut. The consistency is perfect - thick, savory, salty and cozy.. perfect for those rainy days in the town. Go early in the morning when everything is fresh.

Service was fast and great.
The pork & preserved duck eggs porridge (jook), shrimp rice rolls, and fried Chinese donuts are my go-to's. Everything came out fresh and hot, very delicious.
I used to come here when I worked in the area, so it's very nostalgic. ✨️

My go-to for quality porridge and nourishment. They are a porridge first restaurant so I can ask to customize it. It’s not a restaurant you go for ambience. The owner working at the cash register is knowledgeable and nice. Now i’m hungry again talking about this place.

Love this restaurant. It’s my BBQ and comfort food go to. So many favorites here. I love their congee, wonton noodle soup and tomato beef pan fried noodles. Grab a seat and order. Service is fast and the food is solid.
