I went back to this place just to reminisce old memories. I grew up coming to this place for they're bbq pork and roast duck. The quality wasn't great. The duck was dry and flavorless. The saddest part was the skin. It was not crispy at all. The barbecue pork was not flavorless and was not smoky. Both dishes added up to $70. It was a complete disappointment, and it tarnished my childhood memories.

Very hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant. Place looks very rundown and even the TV is low quality, but the food is pretty good for the price.

I had the pork offal noodle soup here. Nothing like hk but there’s not many restaurants here that serve this. They gave decent portions and I was pleasantly surprised.

Cha siu is a 0. It was dry, aged, and just sad to chew on. The pigs already died and they died for nothing.Roast duck was pretty good. Clams were great.Disclaimer: Pictures were taken after the meal

One of the best Chinese BBQ spots in the Southbay and their aren't many. Good comforting good and the atmosphere and decor is the same as any Chinese BBQ place you would ever visit. Nothing fancy here, but we come for the food and not an art gallery.Don't ever forget the plum sauce with your roast duck or you'll be missing out. Sauces and napkins are self serve.Always hits the spot and fulfills my cravings.

One of the best hole in the wall Chinese joint. Food is absolutely MSG delicious. If you want to eat healthy, I recommend you go elsewhere. But if you're up for good old-fashioned quick Chinese food, come here. Roast duck is good. Peking spare ribs is bomb, but it is recommended to eat it at the spot (instead of takeout) while it's hot and crispy. House fried rice...the glistening of the dish will call your name. Best of all, they have this sauteed spicy chili paste condiment that just compliments every bite. Downfall. Joint is small. Cash only; however, they do have an ATM. Service is a hit or miss, but if you speak their language, probably better than usual. Not going to lie. Enjoy.

Horrible roast pork, the skins not even crispy and comes with a lot of bones. I paid for crispy pork belly not bones.
