Family & i tried this place and left disappointed. Fried rice was pretty bad, smelled like burnt & refrigerated. As we walked out i noticed other sitting customers left their rice as well.
I will not be coming back unfortunately

Food was old and cold, I had high hopes of trying a local dumpling restaurant and they only had a few options of dumpling. Not even potstickers.

Quiet family restaurant with delicious, traditional Chinese restaurant food in large portions.

I was pleasantly surprised by the food. The menu offered a wide variety of items I hadn’t seen before, and the orange chicken was truly unique, and my wife loved the stuffed eggplant. While the presentation could have been better, the clean, open atmosphere more than made up for it. The restrooms were spotless, and the tables were so clean you could practically eat off them. Another standout detail was that both the water and ice were filtered—a small touch that speaks volumes about quality. Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to going back.

This place is straight-up amazing, the equivalent of any dim sum I’ve had in the Bay Area, and I’ve been to a lot of places.

I'm really picky about Chinese food and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. The portions were generous. We got the Eggplant with Tofu, pork spareribs with pineapple, chicken green beans, and some dim sum pieces (Char Siu Baos, sesame balls, and potstickers). My only critique would be the sesame balls had too much dough. Everyone enjoyed the food. The service was good.

The food was incredible. Try the onion pancakes. I gave 5 stars for atmosphere when the atmosphere is inconsequential in light of the excellent food- I just couldn’t bring myself to give less than 5 stars in any category. Anywho, perfect service too.

I ordered a chinese tamale. The meat was very cold once i got toward the second half of it…. Disgusting. I ate some of it thinking maybe it was normal for it to be cold but then realized how gross it is. Overall it was not good. My stomach is upset.
I will eat again for more dim sum. The siu mai are huge. The roast duck is excellent.
Keep your expectations low. Both the food and service were lacking. I even gave it multiple chances, hoping my first visit was a fluke, but continues to be just as disappointing (even ordering different dishes). Go to Eagle instead!
