Red Circle Dumplings

The smell is very disgusting. The chicken is very fishy. A chicken costs 88 dollars. No one is full. The smell of chicken makes me want to vomit.

This experience was honestly pretty bad. Here’s what happened:
1️⃣ We waited 40-50 minutes for our food. When we arrived, there were only two tables, but they didn’t start bringing out our food until the restaurant was full.
2️⃣ The male server clearly prioritized the tables that came after us. We had to ask the female server to get basic things like dipping sauces and utensils.
3️⃣ While we were eating, the male server grabbed our soup spoon (the part you eat with, not the handle) with his bare hand. Then he just put it back in the pot without replacing it. That was really shocking.
4️⃣ When we paid the bill, we decided not to leave a tip because the experience was so bad and wrote down the reason: “long wait time.” A little later, the male server came over and complained to us, saying, “Hotpot always takes a long time. If you're in such a rush, don't come in." He was mumbling at first, and when I asked him to clarify, he suddenly raised his voice and yelled, "Hotpot takes time!" It was super unprofessional and Honestly a little scary.
The female server was nice, and we liked how they let us handle the coconut ourselves, but the male server’s attitude and behavior ruined the whole experience.

The male waiter yelled at us, "Don't come in if it takes too long!"
This experience is really outrageous. Let’s talk about a few specific points:
1️⃣ It took 40-50 minutes for the food to be served. There were only two tables of customers when we walked in, but the food didn't start until the restaurant was full.
2️⃣ The male waiter obviously favored the later guests in the arrangement. We had to ask the female waiter to get the dipping sauce and tableware.
3️⃣ While eating, the male waiter grabbed our spoon with his hand (grabbing the eating end), and then put it back into the pot without replacing it with a new one.
4️⃣ After checking out, because the experience was so bad, we did not leave a tip and noted the reason on the bill: "The waiting time was too long." As a result, the male waiter came directly to complain and said, "It takes a long time to cook the side stove. If you think it takes too long, don't come in." He muttered something at first, but I didn't hear it clearly, so I asked him something, but he suddenly shouted at me, "Make a side stove!" This behavior is really unprofessional and makes people feel uncomfortable.
Although the waitress was very nice and the way she handled the coconuts was interesting, the male waiter's attitude and these operations were really unacceptable.

BEST coconut chicken hotpot I’ve ever had in the bay!!!!!
The soup was made with fresh coconut - they cracked the coconut and added the coconut water into our soup. We could also eat the coconut meat inside - it was so fresh.
And then they added chicken - the soup was just HEAVENLY. As a person who is from the region where coconut chicken was originated, I 100% approve its authenticity!!
And the price was soooo good too - $35 per person!

Food is not bad and decent prices...I got a Hainan chicken rice and other things but the Hainan chicken wasn't as good as I remember....I bought it two days ago and I'm just finishing the rice today...AND I FOUND THIS METAL PEICE IN THE RICE, I ALMOST SWALLOWED IT!!!! UNACCEPTABLE!!! I think it's the metal brush they use in Chinese restaurant for dishes. I know it's from the rice and rice only even tho I'm eating the rice with things not from the restaurant. I only had rice in that bite ???. Why you disappointed me like that. The rice itself is really good ?‍↕️

This is a very unassuming place. People drive by not realizing this is one of the best chinese in the area. The food is solid. They advertise lots of seafood dishes for reason. I keep coming back to this place. Portions are very generous.

The owner was changed. The menu also changed. When I was eating, they asked me to move to a smaller table because I was the only person at the table.

I was going to The Red Lobster and decided to check the Chinese Restaurant across the parking lot instead. I was greeted by the server, I was given a hot tea and the menu to start, I decided to go for a half Pecking Duck and an order of steamed rice. The Duck was cut up into several pieces along tiny guao bao (boiled water pancakes), thinly sliced scallions and a sweet hoisin sauce, the skin was crispy and you can taste the mild five spice, I don’t know why I ordered steamed rice; there was no need for it. The store has a side door that serves to go orders and stays busy all day. Great place if you are craving home made dumplings.

We try to make ourselves try food at different soup places just to have that experience. This place we really had no clue how they serve so we just sat down and I asked the lady who greeted us what is a popular dish, mainly I just wanted wonton soup but due to language barrier when I kept asking for it she would say yes we have wonton in chili sauce but after a good five minutes I realized it's wontons in chili sauce. We ended up ordering the Beef Brisket soup for two and a few sides with the soup, I didn't like the broth but you already know the brisket was good I just had to add soy sauce, chili sauce and ginger which made the broth taste delicious. They charge for each item and when they serve each dish they'll point at it on your receipts taped to your table. We also had leftovers so overall I can't complain.Funny thing when we charged our credit card and had it signed as we were getting up to leave the server tapped my arm and said in a firm tone "YOU'RE NOT LEAVING A TIP?" I looked at her like "Excuse me?" She then lifted up the signed receipt in the little tray which on the tip said $0 but then noticed just behind the receipt was cash where her attitude shifted and had a big smile, giggling "Cash even better, thank you have a great day!"I don't think that was cool because it's up to us if we want to tip or not because a lot of times service can be terrible, rude servers, long waits, being neglected etc. anyways that's the last time going there, not because of service because they were good it's just they don't have my wonton soup with the broth I like not to mention they don't have egg noodles ?

Good food. But will never eat again because of the bad service. You will be criticized in the restaurant for tipping less than 15%, though there is no service at all.
