It's our last night of a business trip to San Francisco. We asked our taxi driver for a recommendation and he dropped us off there - we are glad he did. We weren't sure what to have, so the owner chose for us. We started with a chicken bao, then clam soup, fried rice paper rolls, pork spare ribs, prawn and beef with broccoli,catfish soup, and then finally, a chicken and prawn fried rice cooked at the table. My favourite was the clam soup. They make a really lovely not-too-sweet iced tea. I totally loved this dinner.

Food was nice but slighly overpriced. 2 stars because of how rushed the staff made you feel. Walked in, was given about a minute to see the menu before being harassed to order. The minute we put our fork down, they rushed over to take our plates and give us the bill!

Staff is super friendly and recommended we try something different based on what we were ordering and she was not wrong. The sesame chicken isn’t famous for no reason; it was easily the best sesame chicken I’ve ever had!

We had a terrible experience here, would not recommend to anyone. The worst part was when we were in the middle of eating our plates and they rudely forced us to already pay-including tip!- while we were still eating. We had to ask for a box to take the rest of the food with us, but they first wanted us to pay. While we were still signing the bill they already almost grabbed it out of our hands. They also rudely kept on forcing us to order quickly in the beginning. The closing time indicates 9 pm, which means that if you order food at 8 pm they will kick you out at 9 no matter what, so if you want to be treated with respect, go there at least 2 hours before the kitchen closes. Too bad of the terrible service, because the food itself was pretty okay.

Simple and delicious. I like to eat in places frequented by locals and asked for a recommendation for one. I recommend.

Omg! The most delicious Chinese food I've ever had. Such a good soups, try the one in my photo! Yes, the interior design looks not so well maintained, old chairs. But the staff is so FAST AND delicious options. Totally recommend!

Great Chinese food here. The service is authentic too.

Decided to try based on food network and hotel recommendations. Chair literally had duct tape holding back together. The wonton soup was served hot and was the highlight of the meal. The egg fried rice was more show than flavor, egg is not enough protein to flavor a dish. Beef was neither crispy of soft. Sort of in between and lacking the either spice or savory. Too many other options without the wait
