Today, I discovered a Taishan-style restaurant. I haven’t seen it for a long time. It’s the taste of my childhood. You can add your favorite salty soup balls and ingredients according to your own taste. Their steamed rice is also pretty good, nutritious and delicious. Nothing I ordered was too bad, the dishes were rich and colorful, and the service was very good. I will try their rice bowls and skewers next time. The ones ordered by the next table looked very good, and they also have several nourishing soups. I recommend everyone to try it!

This is traditional South-East Asian Cuisine. If you want try some excellent Asian Food. Here is a good choice

Based off of previous reviews, my boyfriend and I were definitely hesitant to try this place.. but because it seems that there are no other Chinese skewer spots in the vicinity (Allie Daddy switched from skewers to sushi, and we didn't feel like driving all the way out to Fremont/Milpitas), we gave this place a shot.The menu is pretty light, so it makes it easier to decide what you want to eat. We ordered a little lighter since we weren't too sure of the place yet.Skewers:Beef Skewers ($4.99 for 3) - Good flavor! However, not consistently cooked... the first skewer my boyfriend tried was completely raw in the middle. The other two skewers were cooked a good medium rare. Lightly seasoned and a little sweet in comparison to most Chinese skewer spots that hurt throw on a ton of cumin. We notified the workers about the raw skewer and they recooked us a new batch, but overcooked it the best time to make sure it was fully cooked through -_- but it still had decent flavor and was still somewhat tender with a slight jerkier consistency..Pork Jowl ($4.99 for 3) - Cooked well. Fatty, large pieces. Solid choice.Lemongrass Chicken Wings ($9.99) - This dish threw me off. It came out looking like a xylophone sorted from biggest size chicken wing to the tiniest wing they could cook. And it looked absolutely NOTHING like the picture someone else posted of the same chicken wings (confirmed with the waitress that the picture was of the same order; just cooked differently). So weird. Tasted fine though. And they gave us 6 wings instead of 5, probably because the wings were so small.Cheese w/ Beef Pancake ($8.99) - THIS. This was good. So simple, yet comforting. Beef was tender, pancake was fluffy and crispy, yet glutinous. The only note is that it's a bit oily, so they could probably lay it on a paper towel to absorb some of that oil or something underneath, but otherwise I loved it.Personally, I'd come here again. But based on the reviews, that's probably because I didn't try their Thai food. Lol, the theme of Thai food confuses me for that place. Don't think I've ever been to a Chinese spot trying to be a Thai restaurant too. But safe to say that their Chinese representation of food worked for us. We did get a bubbly stomach shortly after though, heh, so be forewarned.Ambiance wise, it's a cute small, cozy spot.

This is NOT Thai food! It's Chinese, why not just be a Chinese restaurant??? Ordered the pad Thai. It was not pad Thai. My buddy ordered the basil chicken it wasn't even close. Instead of using ground chicken they used chopped pieces of chk with bones in still ‍. And there prices are way too expensive to be charging for there poor version of Thai food smh.

Shrimp pad thai was too sour and wet. 5 good size Chicken wings for $9.99. Fish sticks are thin but tasted good. Service was very good, place is very clean. Like the decoration. I want to try the noodle soup next, I can soup base, type of noodles and toppings.

Ordered a rice noodle soup and the noodles came out uncooked and hard. They took it back to cook it some more and it came out still undercooked with my toppings all mixed in. Soup was bland I had to ask for salt.

DO NOT COME TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT! I would give it 0 stars if I could. We ordered the Thai basil chicken & the chicken was all bones. The waitress had no idea what she was doing. The only thing good we had was the Thai iced tea & water. The chicken was all bones & the rice was stale. The pudding dessert was tasteless! I will never be back especially with how much they charge. If you want good Thai food go to Monkey Thai as South Shore in Alameda.

After realizing that my steak was not close to a 12 ounce ribeye, I let them know. After an exchange, my waiter replaced it with a park of a steak. I was satisfied with it. However, after a large shard of bone was hidden and I was simply saying how my teeth had cracked into pieces from it before, and that I was glad it was okay this time, she walked away angrily and said "Don't pay then." I even explained what had happened at the cashier, not knowing that she was the owner, and she came around and said the same thing. I asked her directly " what she meant by that?" It is interesting because I was the only Asian in the restaurant with at least 60 other patrons at the time, and at no time did I hear her rudely responding to any other patron, or imply that they could not pay the bill. After asking who the owner was, she proudly answered and told me to not come back in again. Just to let my Asian brothers know, don't.

Good quality and fresh food. Price is fair. The workers are very friendly.
