    What a disappointment…read more How have they managed to stay around for so long, post-pandemic even?! (As you might have already predicted, my experience here was not a good one. They didn't even come close.) Decades, I've known about this place, but never had the desire to try it. I'm not sure why, but some unexplained phenomenon genuinely kept pulling me away. But playing with my belief of "don't knock it' til you try it," I finally forced it. Party of three, we walked in after running a few errands. We stood there for a good minute and not one staff member acknowledged us. So, we took it upon ourselves to just seat ourselves at the only open table available. (Yes, it was semi-packed, so that suggested a lot.) This one open table, however, was dirty. I wondered why it was taking too long to catch someone's attention to at least clean it, but I simply assumed they were understaffed. It took another five minutes before we finally got someone to clean our table and ask for menus. No proper greeting, no nothing. Table was cleaned, menus were handed, server walked away, blah... A few more minutes, we had to once again flag someone to take our orders. (Now, there were only a couple of other tables left to tend to, yet we still weren't properly tended to.) Our server didn't look too happy as he took our orders in. It wasn't long before our food started coming through. YANG CHOW FRIED RICE: So, I'm not a fan of fillers on fried rice (by that, I mean carrots and peas) but overall flavor of this was good. Not bad at all. SEAFOOD CRISPY NOODLES: Presentation was great, but that's as far as it went. The toppings looked fantastic, but flavor was underwhelming. Boy, they missed the mark here, I really wish they took advantage of what the ingredients offered! At least the noodles were crispy. SHRIMP WITH BROCCOLI: This too, looked good, but it, too, was bland. The only flavor I got out of anything was the shrimp. I tried using the side of hot oil to up the flavor a little. It worked, but not enough. CURRY CHICKEN: I never skip this at anytime I try a new Chinese restaurant. Chicken was tender, not too many fillers, sauce was good except it was watery! This would have been perfect if they lightened up on the liquid part of the dish. I think if they worked on this a little more, it could be perfect. DIMSUM: We got 3 different kinds just to mix it up a little. But I was already so unimpressed with everything overall that dim sum - what they're supposedly known for - was a huge let down. Not only did every single one of them lacked flavor, all of them were DRY. FOOD: 2. At best. SERVICE: 1. Every staff member we interacted with appeared like they had no interest in being where they were. They truly were unhappy workers. VALUE: 1. Not worth it. PARKING: Located in a mall. It's always packed up in here. If you don't mind a walk, there are always plenty of spots open the further way you are from the door. OVERALL: 1.25. Whatever it was pulling me away from this place was on point. I should really follow my instincts more. But yeah. One AND done. At least I'm curious no more.

    There was a roach running around the floor and one of the servers wasn't even trying to be discreet…read moreabout trying to stomp on it. Mind you, this was while he was holding onto our takeout box. Anyway, the food was subpar. There were out of a lot of items (maybe because it was Valentine's Day the previous day, I don't know). The dim sum (shrimp dumplings) were good but were borderline cold as they've probably just been sitting in the poorly heated (if at all) dim sum cart.

    Only die hard foodies would go out in cold, rainy weather to search for a new restaurant to try. My…read moresearch for reasonably priced, fresh seafood led me to Korea Town. The place was easy to spot, just look for the big red angry crab out in front. While the staff leads you to your table, you'll pass a tank filled with live crabs; you can't get any fresher than this. The restaurant is an open air restaurant so no air con just electric fans. WE ORDERED: - Fried shrimp (complimentary appetizer) - this was ok - Garlic rice was sticky, I wasn't wild about the flavor. - Chili Crab was swimming in a spicy tomato based curry sauce, there was a hint of sweetness: my guess is they used cooking wine. Crab was meaty, but not as sweet as blue crabs which are my favorite. They separated the crab into manageable portions before serving. - Mango shake was made from fresh fruit, this was thick, sweet and delicious. You'll pay a pretty penny here. I think you're enjoyment will depend on your individual taste: hubby liked the food more than I, so I'll give it a safe 3 stars.

    I have never seen so many fresh crabs…read more My Grab driver recommended this to me as the best and he was 100 percent correct. This, he told me, is the superior seafood restaurant in the Angelas city area locally known yet also famous with tourists. The architecture is bamboo seeming made in the ancient traditional methods. The value was awesome. It cost me 35usd for a beer crabs and rice. The chilli crab was as good as any I have eaten in Singapore. The crabs are fresh and juicy still alive in the tank. I also saw the coconut crab which other diners loved or the steam crab is apparently the specialty of the house. By the way share these because the servings are large. I was hungry but I couldn't eat it all. The service is great and the staff were extremely warm, friendly and welcoming in the greatest Phillipino traditions. That grab driver deserves a high five from me
