Very poor service that my family experienced there for lunch and dinner.
Great Food and Excellent Service
The staff are incredibly nice, fast, and attentive—really on top of everything. The food is fresh and absolutely delicious. They also have private rooms, which are perfect for gatherings with family and friends. Loved it, will be returning for sure.
It's a super bad restaurant. I invited my friends and family to have dinner. There were 9 people in total. I booked a private room and asked if there was a minimum consumption. She said no. I saw there was karaoke in the private room, so I asked the waiter to open it. She pushed it left and right. They just wouldn’t open it, so I ordered food first. Because my friends are Hispanic, they don’t eat a lot of seafood, so I ordered a dozen non-seafood dishes and drinks. An elderly man He looked like a manager and always recommended seafood. I told him they wouldn't eat your seafood, and then he said he didn't want to order the expensive dishes. He said it in such an unpleasant way, and then he looked very contemptuous and the service was very poor. I asked again. When I opened the karaoke room, the waiter said that the food I ordered was too cheap and could not be opened. When I walked in, he said that there was no minimum purchase. Now he disliked the cheapness of the order. It was too deceiving. When I paid, it was even more annoying. Then they told me that they only accept cash. Fortunately, I had just withdrawn the money that day, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to leave. When you gave me the money, just tell me to tip you 80. Damn, this service attitude and ugly face made me tip a penny. I didn’t want to give it either. The manager’s attitude at that time was extremely arrogant. He left a tip of 80 and quickly left. I will never come to this store again. It’s too bad.

Had an amazing time here and didn’t understand the low rating. My family shared 5 dishes, one of them being the lobster special and it was so worth it. $30/2 lobsters. Meaty and cooked perfectly. The staff were friendly, attentive and gave great honest recommendations on what to order. They also switched out our dirty plates very often. We had no issues with our bill and will definitely be back!
Must get: lobster special & string beans (you won’t regret it).

We ordered 13 plates for a business meeting, and the food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish had its own unique flavor, all traditional Cantonese food, so different from regular American Chinese food. I'll be going back here again. 10/10!

I ordered online for pick up and when I got there they say they don’t do online. When I checked they charged me. The guy up front at the desk is terrible. You can’t trust him. I try to ask for help all he said call your credit card. Poor service not worth it.
Dishonest servers. This time, I took family visiting from overseas here, and the staff yet again sneakily overcharged us. Not an isolated event. My family has lived on Bell since 1980, and we always try to support local business(es) first. When they newly opened, they cleverly added on extra to the bill. You are only guilty when you correct the bill in an instant. When we referred to the menu’s clear price, they were irritable and unapologetic they were caught. We have heard the exact scam from neighbors through the years.Again, on April 19, 2024 I paid a $200 bill and kept a record of my receipt—the waiters actually fudged my tip to give themselves an extra several dollars! (Fact: there is a zero “6+ party automatic gratuity system” in place here and, as a local teacher, my writing is crystal clear.) Completely dishonest, quite unfriendly (in general) all-male, and miserly service.Amongst several mains, we ordered two (tiny) whole lobsters with their advertised $29.99. We were charged $55.00. Same as another reviewer (where she was told the new sign fell off—but the same old sign is still up today), the server is a book of lies or excuses when the bill comes. My mom asked for napkins for the table of 6 for the lobster. The server visibly unhappily handed my aunt 1 piece of napkin. My aunts are polite and needed a meal around the corner before a 6AM flight. Otherwise, we would’ve left. Stingy. Dishonest. (Convenient location.)They are going to tank as much as we support many local businesses. You do not steal from customers, who are your lifeline. (Many reviews speak for themselves here. Arrogant service and untrustworthy on repeat.) They don’t have the knowledge of true service. Fluorescent lit and dead silent floor. It’s always empty inside. They allow screaming karaoke to emit from their rooms throughout dining. If you wish not to be gouged every time you dine here, your family has been warned by mine.TO THE RESTAURANT: For the several dollars you stole, you lost hundreds in revenue. Not very smart computation of business skill there. ?

Very bad Service ?.

This is my favorite Cantonese-style restaurant. It’s so hard to find good, authentic and reasonably priced food that reminds me of Hong Kong and this place ticks all the boxes. Lunches are prob the best deal but every dish is well worth the price, particularly seafood. Always fresh, and dishes have good “wok hei”. Parking is also very easy this part of Bell Blvd. It’s definitely my go-to for a great meal.

We asking order a kings crab around 10 pounds . Then they take it out from the water. We sit down. I want to see weighing. how many pounds. They said already inside the kitchen. You can’t get inside. My husband also asked they said already cut it. This the only one restaurant does it. End up we got the not fresh king crab on table. We ate many times on others restaurants. We can tell the taste.also you can tell from the crab shell. How many times they’re cooked it. Never ever go there for dinner anymore . Very bad service. I posted it out hope that people won’t be deceived.

Some waiter bad attitude If you have a celebration and come to this restaurant, it will dissatisfy you. As a restaurant, the service is not good and everything is tasteless. This restaurant should get a negative score, which will cause trouble for people.
The Jook or Congee is pretty amazing at this place. Look out for their Twin Lobster deals! It was $29.95 for Twin Maine Lobsters.
