This place is hopping, even on weekdays! I’m so glad to see a business doing well in this spot by the San Lorenzo post office. Of course, I had to try chang fen! I opted for the BBQ pork and dried shrimp combo for the filling, and I added scallions for a small upcharge. Most of the dishes offer several modification options. I was slightly worried that the dried shrimp flavor would be overwhelming, but it dissolved well into the soy-based sauce. The barbecue flavor was sweet but slightly smoky. I appreciated the vegetal zing the scallions brought to the dish. Do add some of the mild, yet lively, vinegar sauce on the table. The chile sauce also deserves a shout-out.

Great steamed walnut buns, and I also enjoyed the Liwan congee, but I think the simpler chicken or beef is what I'll opt for next time.

New opening! Rice noodles were bathing in soy sauce, but still good overall. Will be back!

So glad they opened a chain here in San Lorenzo - don’t have to go all the way to Dublin for my Chang fen and congee fix
Not crowded on a weekday evening

Dropped by over the weekend. The place was packed with people waiting out the door. Definitely get here early. There was plenty of parking

Once we were seated and ordered our food, it took a bit of time for the food to come out of the kitchen. It's best to remember that if you are really hungry. It might be a while before the food comes out. When it did, the food was hot and fresh tasting.

We found the food not much to look at, but the flavors were there and a solid 4 stars. We found one dish, the spare ribs, a tad on the salty side. All other dishes were good.

The rice crepes on the dishes we ordered were cooked perfectly.

Overall a solid 4 star place.
