I’m always hesitant to go somewhere that has online hype, but a friend really wanted to try it and we were nearby. Service was bad but if the food is fire I honestly don’t care. Neither were good. We got the roast duck and they seemed to have given us old scraps, cold and mostly bone. The noodle soup we ordered tasted like unseasoned chicken broth.

A very small and dirty restaurant. The staff are all rude and disrespectful. The food is mediocre. Definitely not the best wonton noodle soups in town, not anymore. Their roast pork, roast duck, and roast chicken is mediocre. You will find better at Hay Hay Roasted and King’s Kitchen. Sorry this place fell off, not the same like back in the days. And on top of the bland food with small portions, the rude staff members that seem reluctant to take orders or even acknowledge with you.

This restaurant been in Chinatown for atleast 40 years. Food are decent, service is ok, just like any chinese restaurant. But be aware when asked for certain food like roasted pork / roasted pig , try to say you want like how much worth instead of asking for how many oz or lbs, they always cut more than what you wanted and ended up paying more.

Eating Liu

Yesterday around noon, I came here for lunch. As I started to place my order, I had barely said three words — “Please give me…” — when the waiter immediately cut me off and said, “No Chinese.”
I was speaking Mandarin, and he insisted that I could only order in English (or Cantonese). Fine. I switched to English and placed my order.

Not even three minutes later, a white customer walked in and greeted the same waiter in Mandarin. The waiter suddenly laughed loudly, happily responded in Mandarin, and even told him he’d give him free food.

I was completely confused — wasn’t he just sternly telling me not to use Mandarin?

This place is truly ridiculous and pathetic. I will never come back.

Food is nice (but don’t know why the meat is a bit cold) while service is terrible. They demanded tips directly on check like we spent 25 dollars and were asked for $5 for tips. And they asked us to pay and leave right away after finishing so that they have high turnover rate.🥶😡

Very bad smelling noodles in the soup. I had to remove it and just ate the roast duck and wontons. The server/manager said he knew the smell and we should have told him to change the noodles. I wasn't keen of eating it again even if changed. Bad. Won't repeat.

Never Again. Ordered chicken noodle soup. Both the broth and the chicken on top were cold. It wasn’t enough to eat so ordered something else. It was much greasier and smaller than expected - grossly deep fried to a dark brown color. I asked the owner manning the cash register if I could substitute it for another and he literally came to the table and took a spoon and cut one in half. He could not care less that it was not desirable. On top of this, there is a mandatory 20% on the bill for gratuity for one person sitting at a table with some other party of 5. I would not go back besides this place is super small, super loud, with marginal food and a manager who doesn’t care. His look of disgust said enough. Paid the mandatory cash and left. Never coming back.

A very busy restaurant. The meat was delicious and well cooked. The service was excellent but sit-down space was a bit limited. *cash only*

The food here feels genuinely authentic, the kind of dishes you won’t always find in more Americanized Chinese restaurants. Some flavors might be subtler than what you’re used to, but that’s part of the experience. If you’re the kind of diner who enjoys trying traditional dishes and exploring beyond the usual favorites, this is a great place to do that.

They have a loooooong menu, so I would strongly recommend looking at it in advance if you can so that you know what to order when you sit down.

Service is fast and efficient. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is exactly what you’d expect from a Chinatown restaurant: a little chaotic, but always interesting.
