First time here, and I very much enjoyed the experience! There's complementary tea and nuts to munch on if you dine in. The brisket noodles also came with a broth that gave the dish a refined deconstructed Chinese ramen vibe with a delicate flavour. The service and portions were superb, and I look forward to coming back!

Ordered BBQ plate, mapo tofu, spring rolls, Mongolian beef. Chicken in bbq plate was ice cold, as well as the inside of the fried spring rolls were freezing too. Roast duck had lots of small bones. Mapo tofu was good but could have been more flavorful. Mongolian beef was good, big portion & lots of veggies with it.
Really wanted to like this place! Staff were friendly & food was ready quickly.

Went to Cooking Cooking again today for lunch with a friend and ordered a few dishes. The portions are generous and the service is excellent. As for the taste of the dishes, I would say that they are quite delicious but not particularly memorable.

My family wanted to try this place since we missed eating here when it was still Cooking Papa. The atmosphere was a typical Chinese restaurant with large tables of families enjoying dinner.
We ordered the BBQ Delicacy Platter (2 choices of meat, we chose roasted duck and roasted pork belly), fried rice w/ diced chicken & salted fish, house special pan fried noodle, and assorted braised vegetables (not pictured since it was brought out to our table super late). They also served us red bean dessert soup to wrap up our meal. The portions were large and everything was flavorful. However, the fried rice was a little greasy and the roasted duck did not have much meat on it.
The service was very straightforward and attentive. The only reason I docked one star is because they forgot one of our dishes and did not bring it out until we were already eating the red bean dessert. I understand it was an honest mistake but it did take us several tries with multiple servers to remind them that we were still missing a dish.
Overall, it is not my first choice for authentic Chinese food but I am open to returning someday so I can try some of their other specials.

Came in with mixed expectations. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, we said if there are any white people in here it's not going to be good. I was the only white guy.
Ordered a couple of entrees from the lunch menu: braised beef with bitter melon and brisket in red curry.
Phenomenal. The brisket is not American style brisket so there is some tendon and lots of fat. That's what made it so good. If you've never had bitter melon, it's got a lot of aroma to it and so it needs to be paired with the beef as a taste experience.
The name probably keeps most white people away so that's how we knew it was good. 🤣🤘🏼

Cooking Cooking is our go-to Chinese takeout place. The food has been consistent and our family often order enough food to eat for a few meals without feeling like we're breaking the bank.

We wanted to try this place for a while and finally got a chance today! We ordered Plain Porridge, Fried Rice with vegetables and Chicken Chomein. The food was so good.

Budget friendly and big portions , it’s really good Cantonese food . Awesome service too
Great food. We've been eating here since it was Cooking Papa. I had a cold so the sweet and sour soup made me feel better. My family loved the combo chow mein, tofu n veggies, n sweet and sour pork. Used doordash and Andrew delivered quickly! Nov 24 update. If u order doordash, do not order salt and pepper prawns. Prawns have heads and shells on them. Ugh. No photo on doordash. I usually order salt n pepper fish!
Vegetarian options: Tofu and veggies

This was our first time visiting this Chinese restaurant. First impression was great. With a display of hanging roast duck and pork, immediately your eyes are treated with savory meats. Their quick serve dishes, usually includes BBQ meats are front and center behind a glass partitioned kitchen. The actual kitchen where they prep most of the dishes are behind what the customers can see. Those dishes definitely do not disappoint. The portions are substantial matching the steep pricing. We paid close to $80 for 3 dishes. In the end, they served us a warm red bean dessert for free. We ordered a BBQ sampler over rice to share family style. We also ordered Crispy Fried Fish & Pumpkin, and House Special Crispy Chow Mein. The food was delicious. I can't wait for us to return and try other dishes.

Went here to dine with friends, the portions were huge. I ordered a portion of kale, double combo and fried rice, which was quite delicious.
It’s a big portion, so you can pack it for another meal?
A bit overpriced
