If you want really fresh seafood cooked authentically, do yourself a favor and come here. It's not fancy and it's pretty small (about 6 tables) and kind of on a side street from the main drag in Chinatown but is consistently and legitimately delicious. Always ask what the fresh catch of the day is. We had soft shell crab, scallops on the half shell (steamed with rice noodles and scallions), salted egg yolk shrimp - shell off (consensus favorite. Do it), French style beef tenderloin, taco baos, morning glory (Chinese green that is hard to find in normal supermarkets), and garlicky Shanghai bok choy. There's live Dungeness crab and lobster if you want to impress and work for your dinner. This place takes reservations if you call, it does get full and they turn people away every time I have been there. Parking can be difficult as your options are street or parking garages. Also, its BYOB.

The woman who answered the phone had a southern accent. Her words were harsh and aggressive. The boss told her not to answer the phone anymore. Disgusting! The other girl was very nice, gentle and patient.

Solid home style food at a reasonable price. Steamed fish though pricier than other shops. 蒸鱼 贵些 但其他的菜都还好。
Green beans was great with fried and stir fry method, the shiitake mushroom added a nice savory flavor.
Salmon head casserole ?- the reason why we return. Fatty and yummy, requires some patience and skill to eat.
Mushroom mix - to balance out the meal with this light flavor. We loved it.
Rice is hard per all Chinese restaurants that need overnight rice for fried rice. $1/bowl but they packed it ?

Definitely coming back! The food was incredible. French style beef tenderloin - full of flavor and tender. Crab rangoon - so crispy and delicious made with real crab & lobster. Shrimp fried rice - they were out of lobster fried rice which is what I initially wanted but it was yummy! I ordered a side of chili oil to drizzle over the rice it was 10x better. Overall a 10/10 experience with great service!

Yesterday we ate there, my family and I, the food and the prices that were outside the restaurant did not correspond to those offered to us inside, they told us that they were old, (and if so, they should change and update them), we did not want to leave tip because we felt cheated, and yet they demanded it from us, and we gave it to them, it seemed like abuse to me, I would not recommend the place, a shame about our bad experience.

Loved the soft shell crab! They seem to have a lot of seafood dishes.
Deeeeeliiicious!!! Food was really on point. Waiter was really accommodating even helped me take my food out to the car. Drawback might be that the place is small, but to be quite honest I like it that way, probably wouldn't be the same if it was any bigger. My only other drawback portion size on takeout could be a little bit bigger. Definitely going back

It’s probably one of the worst Chinese restaurants I’ve ever had. Not only were the portions so small but the food was so bland and gross. The white rice tasted like soap, like they washed a dish and didn’t rinse it and just cooked the rice in it. The crab Rangoons had like a teaspoon of filling and were chewy. We ended up getting sick after we tried to eat it… I’m not normally one to complain if it’s mid but the food was so so so bad ? I will say, the staff was very kind and helpful, service is great, just the food was not :/

We walked in late one night about 30 minutes to closing and they were still very accommodating. The food was absolutely delicious! My cousin and I both ate and there was still plenty of food to take home. Crab rangoons so, so good. The green onion beef was top notch . Everyone that tended to us was super nice and we were never once rushed (though we were very conscious and considerate of their time so we tried to eat quick to not to stay too long past closing). If we come back to Chicago we will definitely be stopping by. Thank you!
