Swatow Restaurant is a casual, no-frills eatery that serves excellent down-to-earth Chinese food. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including black bean clams, beef fried noodles, shrimp dumpling noodle soup, shrimp with lobster sauce, curry squid on fried noodles, oysters with black bean sauce, and double lobster. Customers praise the food and portions, noting it as some of the best Cantonese food in Swatow. However, it is important to mention that the prices are considered high, and the restaurant only accepts cash while adding tax to orders, which some find unappealing. The service is friendly and attentive, with big portions. Guests may need to wait in a queue, especially after 6 PM, often in a small space that can be uncomfortable in colder weather. This hidden gem continues to be a favorite for anyone looking for delicious and authentic Chinese cuisine, with recommended dishes like beef chow mein with black bean sauce, chicken wings, shrimp with lobster sauce on rice, and beef brisket & wonton soup with egg noodles.
