“It's a refined place. Went during the week and had Two dishes. Forgot their names but they were really fresh and tasty. Bill was 100 bucks which means it's spendier than the average (I think. I'm not a local to Cali) but it was a treat!“

“Our favorite restaurant in the Bay! I almost didn’t want to write a review because we like to keep it a secret…:)
We love to order a lot and eat the leftovers for a few days. We usually get the combination fried rice, a choy, basil eggplant, sizzling pepper beef, green onion lamb, and small hot and sour soup which comes with tofu. This order can easily feed four people.

Very fair prices, especially for the area.

The staff is always friendly and quick.

The atmosphere is relaxed. Pleasant music in the background. We usually see families or friend groups but people enjoy the food so much that conversation never gets too loud.

There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.
The restaurant has a parking lot in the back and there is free street parking in the front.“

“What I ended up ordering (at their recommendation) hurt my teeth, too crunchy and on the hard side…sticky too. Maybe I have bad teeth. :(
But they were so nice & made up for it by giving me what I had originally went in for so I am a happy customer.😍“

“I had such a great experience here! The hotpot came in a beautifully designed pot that kept the broth bubbling and full of fresh vegetables, mushrooms, and bok choy. The beef was sliced perfectly thin, with great marbling for flavor, and the hand-pulled noodles were chewy and satisfying. Everything tasted fresh, clean, and high quality. The portion sizes were generous, and it felt like a balanced, hearty meal. On top of that, the presentation was gorgeous. The pot itself is a work of art. Definitely a spot I’d recommend for anyone craving comforting and authentic hotpot!“

“Our server was pleasant and efficient. We wish we had gotten his name to thank him personally on this review. Food portions were generous and nicely plated on good quality stoneware. The price point was good for the delicious assortments on the menu. We enjoyed the cocktails at $8.99. Out only objection was the background music that had a booming pulse. Perhaps this vibe is not our style. It makes conversation difficult.“

“Super Thai / Chinese blend of food; good quality; freshly cooked; nice ingredients and variety, especially in our vegetarian dishes. Calm and relaxed atmosphere of a family run place, served by owner herself ( Jenny), and not at all fast or felt rushed with service.

Hot n sour vegetarian soup, kumpao tofu, Singapore noddle were very well made. Would love to try other vegetarian options next time - eggplant, Tom kha soup and spring rolls. Even the spicy sauce is nicely done a bit sour goes well with all dishes and even plain jasmine rice.

Recommend for Palo Alto midtown folks to patronize this place. Open 7 days, hard working family run.“
