This location has changed several restaurants, but I haven't tried it since it changed to cooking Cooking .

The food was surprisingly good, and although the price was a bit high, it was well worth it. pork neck with bitter melon $22 , salt egg yolk with fish & pumpkin $24.50 , salty fish with pork clay pot $24.50 all good!
Especially the bitter melon, it is probably the best I have ever eaten, the cooking time is just right, the pork neck is very soft, but it is full of fragrance.

The service is very warm and friendly! The tables might be too close together and it's easy to hear other people's conversations.

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.
