“This is one of the closest hotpot place to Stanford. We chose a two-person package for $89, including 2 bobas, two plates of beef, one plate of lamb and seafood, one plate of noodles and vermicelli, one plate of tofu, and one sweet. That's more than enough food but we finished it!Unique small individual pot, only wish it was sunk in the table. It has the basic sauces and spices, wish there is more.“

“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.😍“

“We’ve been coming here for over a decade, and the quality has been consistently outstanding. Truly authentic Cantonese cuisine, with a warm vibe that works equally well for small dinners or large group gatherings. It’s easy to book, the staff are super accommodating, and they don’t just serve food, they tailor dishes exactly to your requests. Reliable, delicious, and welcoming every time. Highly recommended.“

“My family and I had a really good dining experience at this place. We went after Christmas and despite the place being packed, they were able to accommodate us without a reservation (We just got lucky). The staff was very nice and accommodating.

We wanted to try the roast duck which was the most recommended dish on the internet about this place but we found out that we had to have called ahead of time and place an order. They did try and see if we can still get it but they didn't have enough stock to serve an unexpected order which is fine.

The next best thing they recommended was the Sweet & Sour Mandarin Fish. Boy was it amazing! It was the perfect blend of sweet and sour. I've had sweet and sour dishes before that can go overboard with the sweet that it makes the dish difficult to finish but this was not one of those. The sauce was just right and nice. The fish itself also was fried really well. Crispy pieces of fish on the outside and tender on the inside. It did not feel oily at all. It went amazing with rice. It wasn't just tasty, the fish was fun to eat too with they way it was cut and prepared. It was a perfect centerpiece dish for the family to share.

I remember we had other dishes too like shrimp and dumplings but I really did love the Sweet & Sour Mandarin fish so it was the highlight for me.

Apart from the food, the ambiance of the restaurant was really nice. The place was clean and well decorated.

The service was great too. Shout out to Suda who took very good care of us during our dinner. She was always there whenever we needed something and we never felt like we needed to wait to be accommodated for something. The best server!

I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a great dining experience! 10/10. Will come back again to try the duck!“

“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.“

“When I crave Chinese food that’s quick and easy, I go to Panda Express—and this location is the best within a 10-mile radius. The dishes aren’t drowned in sweet sauce, which makes a real difference. The beef and broccoli and the chicken breast with string beans are genuinely tasty and feel lighter than most fast-food options.“

“We are vegetarian, and we had such a great meal! They modified the yellow chicken curry with tofu, and they were nice enough to clarify with us that we didn't want fish sauce!

It was really tasty. The flavors were there. Give this place a chance. It's often missed in PA, but we'll be coming back again for the awesome food!“
