The hostess was very kind to us when we first came in and was very accommodating even though we did not have a reservation. The decor is really nice and the food was great! The shrimp spring rolls were amazing! We had a really nice dinner and plan to come back soon.

Delicious food in a cozy atmosphere! The duck and pork belly rice bowls were both flavorful and tender, and the drink menu was diverse and tasty as well.

The ambiance of this restaurant is immaculate! The taro fries were crispy, and both dips complemented them!
I got the FED Spicy Shrimp Wonton Noodles and the broth was so rich.
You MUST get the Jasmine Milk Tea Budino!!!!

Loved it! Got a shareable board and one other rice bowl between 3 people and we were stuffed. Staff was also very nice! 10/10 would eat here again.

Awesome place, great vibe, friendly staff, amazing food! Definitely worth trying. So glad to have found this spot. Parking is annoyingly expensive but available. If you can, take the train to avoid the $30 parking fee. Food was wonderful though! Very big servings if you get the boards for 2. I personally think it actually feeds 4 Lol!

Far East Descendant is a great experience for authentic cantonese food served for an unfamiliar crowd! Their food is a step beyond chinese takeout, elevated to a finer dining experience. My cantonese partner loved all of the familiar foods they grew up with on a higher level here. And their cocktails are amazing! They have their own unique Chinese flavors you can't get on an American cocktail menu

Come for the vibes, stay for the fries! Very nice and chill restaurant on the outskirts of Chinatown. We have been meaning to come for a while because we’ve seen their outdoor eating space on the roof. Food was delicious and staff were friendly. Cocktails were very good.
