Everything here is so good. The duck, the custard buns, the rice crepes, and it’s all so reasonably priced. Services is prompt and efficient, and I’m usually planning my next visit even as I leave

THE best dim sum in America! I have lived and been all over Cali, as well as TX, and I am from New England. Tried them all. What a pleasant find as I've been missing my native Canto dishes recently. Picked up their signature roast duck on the way out for tonight's dinner and can't wait to try. Service was amazing and chatted with the server and owner. They were such sweethearts- warm, friendly & great, fun energy. Looking forward to returning soon. And to the duck!:)

So this is supposed to be beef brisket soup. Its nothing but fat and gristle. Charged about 16 bucks for this.

I have ordered carry out from here for years, at least once a week. I have tried a good variety of food from their menu and everything has been tasty. You have to make good food for someone to come back this much!

Went here with a good friend of mine today - ordered french style beef, seafood casserole, and roast pork belly. Amazing food, good service, good portions and price. I highly recommend this spot for anyone who wants authentic Cantonese food, even if the atmosphere can feel quiet at times.

Order takeout food a few times from here.
My wife really likes some of the food here.

For me It's not bad. I am still looking for a good General TSO's. They clam the General TSO's is spicy. It is the same issue I find with most Chinese places. It isn't spicy it is more on the sweet side.

It has the Cantonese food that I love and lunch specials. the prices may seem high but the food is good. I only go during the week when it's lunchtime. It seems that there are more to go orders than dining in. the dining room is legit and spacious. They also do sim sum on the weekends I believe based on the menu.

I ordered mix veg dish. I tasted sand in my food. I guess vegetables weren't washed properly. I talked to the waitress about it and she said it was spices. I can tell a difference between sand and spice. Customer service was ok. And they kind of force you to give tip. She was like, give me 18% when I gave her $2 because my food had sand. I still paid full price.
