The barbecue pork rice plate was tasty and generously portioned. Service was average. Waited about 30 minutes for a table. The ambiance was pleasant. There's a free parking lot with plenty of spaces available outside the restaurant.
A pretty nice hong kong style restaurant in the area! In fact, this whole complex is split in the two with this one focusing on barbecue pork and chicken and the other side focusing on spicy fish. If you can't get a seat on one side, you can always go to the other side because the menu is exactly the same and you can order from both sides as needed. Just don't mind the AI generated ads plastered in some areas... Waiting can be long especially during peak. Lunch hours around 30 to 45 minutes... Ordering was done easily through the iPad and when you are done confirming the order, the waiter will come to pick up the iPad. Depending on the dish such as the rice plates, they can come out fairly quickly, but even some dishes that are prepared in the kitchen can take a very long time 30-45 min wait for a chow fun... But at least everything is very tasty, including the chow fun that had a lot of flavor to it! I also like that they had lemon Coca-Cola with refills!
The roast pork and bbq pork were delicious. They were both tender and flavorful, and the roast pork had a nice crispy skin. These are the two items that stood out for our meal today that I'll definitely be back for more of these.
Other items we tried are clay pot rice which was good but still missed the mark compared to Asia, and pea sprout with garlic was delicious but the same as some other Chinese restaurants that I've been too.
Next time, planning to try their roast duck.
Pretty good bbq flavor, quite authentic love that they can chop in front of you.
Not a fan...the food was disasterously bland, and to add insult to boredom my dish was ten minutes later than the others at my table. There are some dishes that are a bright spot in this otherwise beige menu, but the central dish (soy sauce roasted chicken) is only slightly more flavorful than wallpaper paste. I feel like my sanity might have been saved were there some sauce, or even just salt...but lo, there's none to be had anywhere.
I've had good versions of this dish. This can be delicious. Roasted chicken and rice? Yeh man, find the right sauce and season it...but I think this place seems to have forgotten that seasoning exists.
Introduced by friend about this restaurant and BBQ pork simply is the best. Wonton noodle soup is also highly recommended. Broth is flavorful. Wonton and noodles are simply authentic. Would like to explore other dishes when returning next time.
The first time we went here we dined in and got the soup rice noodles and wonton and it tasted AMAZING! It had a very good flavor that came with vegetables and meats that quickly filled my appetite! The workers there were also very nice! They had a robot that served food also! It’s also really easy to find with large amounts of parking spaces.
The spaces was very cozy and the chairs and booths were very comfortable as well. This was overall a very great experience and I would definitely go here again!
Meat of Three kind of platters are little bit dry, stir fried lamb is ok and so is the YaoYao two kind fish. And Dry pot cauliflower. Service is below average.
The duck, pork, and chicken were extremely salty that I couldn’t taste the original food anymore…
I've been going here on and off since they first opened for both takout and dine in. The service has always been okay for the most part, but for the takout last night, the dish we ordered was raw. See picture. We ordered the duck, and you can see it was raw. There was a small pool of red on the bottom of the take out box too. Question: How can the bucher cut the duck and not see that it was still bleeding? It's definitely one star for the raw duck. Also, I don't think the pieces came from the same duck. Some of the duck had darker skin and some had a very noticeable lighter skin. The lighter skin duck parts were raw. Darker skin duck was okay.

I don't know why this amazing authentic Chinese restaurant didn't get beyond four stars?! Don't matter anyway cuz if you're late the chicken would be gone! And do send in your order of mixed BBQ pot rice once you sit down cuz it takes 25 min and every table is getting it. Clean, roomy, new and bright with polite service and variety selection of authentic Chinese food! This is the one you don't want to say no I haven't visited yet.

A really cute Asian food restaurant with robots that can serve the food! The food was really good! I really loved the tofu they have! (My family and I ate here a few months ago.)

We really enjoy Jin Gege’s HK-style/Cantonese cuisine. They’re known for their chicken, but surprisingly, their other dishes are also delicious and offer great value. I highly recommend dining in if you get the chance.
