    02.10.2025 @6pm Made reservation for table of 8 for a belated birthday dinner for my brother. Food was Cantonese style authentic. Taste was on point.

    Read the review on this restaurant. So decided to give it a try for a birthday dinner. This restaurant is not that big, but we could sit comfortable and very spacious. We did the preorder the crab claw, it was just ok. Nothing special, I though it could be a wow. Overall all the dishes that we order, is ok. There's one dish that we all like. I would say overall the taste is ok, but little on the salty side, and there's lots of MSG on all the dishes. Cuz when we got home we all very thirsty. Since it was a birthday dinner, they did provide us the 'Birthday bao', as the standard dessert & fruits. Service wise is ok, could be more attentive. Overall, I would recommend this place. I would come back again, hopefully next time the food is not too salty.

    Had dinner here with family and was able to reserve a private room (minimum $380 table charge) located on the upper floor. This is a Chinese seafood restaurant in Dyker Heights, catering mainly to local customers from the area. Private rooms have better, brighter lighting than the lower level. Food wise- The standout dish was the satay black pepper lamb-chops: which was perfectly seasoned and tendered. Oddly enough, the night of the visit; restaurant ran out of Chicken-Hmm. Sweet and sour pork was good as well-sauce was tangy and pork meat was fried well. Overall, dishes ordered were good; a bit on the pricey side, though it did went way over the minimum table charge.

    Had dinner on a Wednesday night and it was packed! Good thing we made a reservation in advance. Ordered the following dishes: - Crispy Pig Intestine $19 - Salted Baked Chicken $17.95 - Sautéed Prawns $25.95 - Salt & Pepper Pork $16.95 - Short ribs with braised sauce $28.95 - Steamed Fresh Scallop w. Glass Noodle & Fresh Garlic - Special Price - Steamed Fresh Scallop w. Glass Noodle in Black Bean Sauce - Special Price - Crispy Pigeon $20.95 per pigeon - Yellow Eel in Casserole rice (Large) $60 - Salted egg, mushroom, green & sliced pork soup $18.95 Staff was always available to provide us additional utensils or napkins which was good and also timely in removing finished dishes. They also have space upstairs. At the end of the meal, a plate of fruit (watermelon) and dessert (Taro and Sago?) is served. There are a good variety dishes at this restaurant. I would say the flavoring is a bit on the saltier side. Other than that, I wouldn't mind coming back again.

    Came here twice, one for family dinner and a special family banquet meal (private party) within 2 weeks. Halloween evening we wanted dinner. We were dressed up for the kids (for trick or treat) and hungry. We ordered 7 dishes (family style) which really impressed us. Quality ingredients and delicious. Chicken, Peking Pork chop, vegetable chow mei & vegetable fried rice, deep fried tofu, beef short ribs with broccoli, and egg tofu with mixed vegetables. We were so impressed that my sister in law wanted to book private party for her son's 1st birthday party in 2 weeks. Private party room- banquet meal. We had the largest room booked on a Sunday night. Pigeon soup, Peking Pork chop, braised lamb with bean curd, mayo shrimp with candied walnuts & broccoli, steamed flat fish, Lobster with stuffed sticky rice (fried rice style), mushroom mixed vegetables, steak with sautéed asparagus, chicken and vegetable chow mein. We also order a side of white rice and bok choy. Overall, love the food. Will definitely come back. Only qualm was that their restrooms needs more attention. Seems like their wait staff is too busy to check on that and too busy to refill water glasses. The ladies room was out of toilet paper on the night of the party and needed cleaning. #ThankYouThursday

    Flavor Restaurant changed owners and is now named Big 5 Seafood Restaurant. The new management and kitchen used to work in Oriental Garden in Chinatown. I'll bring over my reviews that were left in Flavor that were supposed to belong here. To be updated...

    a variety of food items

    This place keeps changing it's name. Go read my old reviews of Flavor or Taro. It's literally all the same - https://www.yelp.com/biz/flavor-brooklyn-2 and https://www.yelp.com/biz/taro-brooklyn Same good quality of food. Place gets slammed, so you might not be able to get a table, and takeout may take forever, even when they tell you it should be ready.

    My family always come here for fam style dinner. Everything is super fresh and very good. From the seafood galore, beef, and pork are all delish

    Dungeness crab fried rice, fermented bean curd ong choy, sweet n sour pork
    Pauline C.

    Most dishes were really good, the crab was cooked perfectly, most places overcook and the delicate meat can dry out. The sweet and sour pork missed the mark. Chunks of fatty pork, the coating lacked the crispiness of true Hong Kong style using only cornstarch and the flavor was too salty for this dish.

    Menu

    The menu at the restaurant. No specials for Mother's Day 2023. Will find out if the food is good or not. Service is good at the moment as it was quick to bring the peanuts, tea, and menus very quickly. The place is well spaced out and well lit. There is a second floor that we did not see so not sure if it is well spaced. Family type atmosphere so it might get a bit loud. Just an extra note. We got there before the dinner rush do not sure if it had anything to do with the speed of service. Giving it 3 stars for now as we have not started eating. Will update when we finish.

We also got a lobster roll $25, combo ($5 extra for French fries and can of soda). Both dishes taste good, but the grilled sea bass is definitely the winner! Service: we were greeted right away when we entered the store. They have seating inside but they also have some seating outside in the back. The guy at the register is super friendly, explained to us what they have as special and made recommendations. We ordered, paid and another server brought our food to the table when it was done. That server was also super friendly. We will definitely come back!

The place is small inside so we decided to sit outside because it was a beautiful day. We had to tell them it wasn't a good look to have large garbage cans and a motor bike where we have to eat. They removed the garbage cans. We had the grilled octopus and it was perfectly seasoned and tender. The grilled Bronzini was a nice size and it was really good but I had to ask if they would grill the other side. The fried snapper needed more seasoning for my taste but overall the food was good.

    One of the better Chinese banquet style restaurants that I've been to. Came during late…read morelunch/early dinner hours to beat the dinner rush. It was around 4:30pm and when we arrived, it was empty which was perfect for us. Space is big and spacious and their tables, plating, and decor really stood out to me. Seemed fancier than other Chinese restaurants! Ordered a variety of dishes and they were all really large portions and well-prepared. None were overly salty or sweet, just right. My favorite was their chicken, eggplant and salted fish claypot dish. It's one of my favorite dishes in general and they made it very well. Definitely will come here more often and will rec my family to try this place out for our next family event.

    Good prices on family set meals. Came here twice for celebrations and ordered the family meal for…read more8. The meal includes geoduck sashimi, jellyfish & mixed appetizer, soup, steamed fish, crab & lobster with sticky rice, abalone, steamed shrimp, noodles, and veggies. Some dishes were bigger than others. Both times I came they didn't have abalone so we substitute the dish for garlic scallop (which I prefer). The menu also says it comes with house special dessert but we never gotten any. For any seafood, it's market price plus they add a 30% processing fee, which is strange to me. For a Chinese restaurant which usually does not charge tax if you pay with cash, they charge tax here whether you pay by card or cash. The restaurant is pretty big and spacious. They have pretty large tables, suitable for parties and celebrations. There's a private space upstairs with 3 large tables for parties. The restaurant is pretty slow in the afternoon.

    The food here is absolutely delicious! If you're looking for a happy hour that's actually worth it,…read morethis is the place. We ordered the wings, oysters, and the paella. Everything was excellent, but the paella was the star of the meal my wife couldn't put her fork down. The drinks were cold, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the food. The only downside was the service at the front. The host seemed a little unfriendly, which wasn't the best first impression. Thankfully, the manager stepped in, was very welcoming, and seated us in the back, which ended up being the perfect spot for a quick bite and a couple of drinks. Overall, the food and drinks definitely outweigh the small hiccup at the beginning. We'll definitely be back for happy hour again.

    My family and I came on a Wednesday evening without a reservation and were seated with no wait (the…read morehost let us know there was a 9pm reservation on our table, giving us 2 hours to dine.) For 3 people we ordered: the calamari, a lobster roll, a potato side dish, a small vegan paella and a chuzo salad. The food was good but not great - the calamari was nothing special, the lobster roll was a little over salted with the fries not fried enough, the potato dish had texture and the toppings on it had spice + acid, the salad was simple but refreshing, and the finally the vegan paella was well seasoned, strong tomato flavor in the rice and the vegetables were nicely charred. The ambiance of the restaurant felt summery, it was a little humid with a slight wind that evening and they had all doors open allowing the breeze to flow through their space beautifully. The biggest let down was their service. For a weeknight at prime dinner hour and not a very crowded night, it took an hour for our food to come out from the kitchen. I noticed another party, who arrived after us, was served their food prior to us. I wished our waiter updated us on the food without my having to ask first.
