Came here for the lunch specials. I guessed the prices went up from $11 to $12.99. There was a lot of rice in my take out order. The salt and pepper ribs looks more like batter fried and not much pepper or spice in there. There was too much batter coating the paper-thin meat. You got to wonder how careful you have to cut the meat to get it that thin. I was very hungry so I ate everything but left over a lot of rice.
I was doing a food pick up and a lady was asking me to tip them. Tipping should be a voluntary thing, I guess? Especially for pick-up?? Food is okay but never going to come back again.

It was my first time here and it was pretty good! We got some tofu and beef, seafood chow mein, congee, and a rice cake stir fry. I really enjoyed the tofu and beef, it’s super simple but still really flavorful! The seafood chow mein always hits the spot, it was also alot too!! Sampan Congee was good, I normally enjoy the 1000 year old egg with congee but the Sampan congee is very nostalgic for me! The stir fry rice cake was more for my family, not me, I’m not a huge fan of rice cake.

Great place for my family dinner/gathering. Casual atmosphere. Reserved a table for 10. Comfortable sitting. A wide variety of selections on the menu. Really enjoy the sizzling dishes on a hot iron platter (in my photo ) or in a clay pot. They are real comfort food in a SF chilly night. Good scallion steam chicken. Great services. Trying to meet all our needs. Will return soon for my own takeout or family dinner.

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants. I’ve been super happy with consistency and quality over last two years plus. Not sure what’s going on on some of the negative reviews. Being Chinese I’ve always felt it’s usually a real good sign when you see a lot of other middle aged and up Chinese eating at a Chinese restaurant. The woman serving everyone alone is amazing that she can serve and have a great sense of humor even when they are busy.

The food was horrible, unpalatable, tasted weird, the pig's trotters were hairy and tasted bad, the rice was of very poor quality, in general, it was all very unpalatable! It was gross and tasted very bad, and the quality of the rice was also very poor. Overall, it was all very unpalatable!

Great standard fare Chinese food. The fried rice and chow mein are what you expect from Chinese food, packed with flavor.

The food is overall pretty good with balanced flavors. You can definitely do worse at other restaurants and can pay more for better at other restaurants. Service can be pretty slow depending on volume of take-out orders. There's only one person handling all the orders from taking, serving, and packaging to go orders. Overall, it's a great no frills Chinese restaurant that has an assortment of traditional Cantonese dishes along with Sichuan options too.

Ordered takeout. Tofu and green beans were really good. Sesame chicken and wulnut shrimp were ok.
Parking: Free street parking after 6pm but hard to find

Service is pretty good even though there's only one person that managed all the tables. The interior is much smaller than it appeared outside; we just tried two lunch plates which were pretty good.
