The food was all…read moregood, but the crab was pretty laborious to eat - which extends the amount of time eating at the restaurant - and didn't have much meat to them. The stir fried garlic string beans were good, but nothing special. My favorite was the duck dish - the plum sauce gave it a nice sweet flavor profile. The wait staff were a bit impatient overall - but that's how you know the food will be authentic at a Cantonese restaurant lol. Wait time for us on a Friday evening was about 25 minutes.

They played a birthday song over the speakers and let us bring a cake to the restaurant. Service wise, would give this place a 10/10. The food was really unique and special, you don't see a lot of these dishes at Chinese restaurants. The menu had many many different options to choose from. We shared the twin lobster sticky rice (came with 2 lobsters for $88), the salted yolk pumpkin, and the pork belly chicken soup. The soup was good but the white pepper taste was a bit too strong. The other dishes were on the heavier, oily side but they were really delicious. There were generous portions of lobster. They served a really nice, fragrant jasmine tea with dinner which they kept refilled and pipping hot. Bathroom was clean and the restaurant has a beautiful design inside that's nice for parties of 4 or larger groups for family style dining. There's plenty of paid street parking options, around $5 for 2 hours. I would recommend giving it a try!

There are no prices on the menu but they do run specials throughout the week. I had the 1/2 crab, 1/2 shrimp combo that comes with corn and a potatoe for 21.99.

Hmm, where to start. I ordered 2lbs of snow crab legs with sausage. When I opened the tray I had 2…read moreclusters of snow crab not 2lbs and no sausage. When I went to opening the crab legs there was no meat in them. If they would've weighted it which I assumed they did, they would've realized I wasn't receiving 2lbs of snow crab more like a pound of shell. A whole leg came with a half knuckle size of meat. Maybe they overcooked it, i dont know. They also wouldn't put any of the juice or boil in a separate container for dipping the crab meat. Most establishments charge you for sauce on the side which I was willing to pay for but the lady behind the counter refused. It was a very disappointing experience, and honestly they probably got these snow crab from a Costco or wherever they sell them in stores. If people are paying money for snow crab please ensure the snow crab has meat in them.

Corn, broccoli, potatoes, rice, and two large fillets, and this was the "small." Wow. What was not so great: One of the garlic butters leaked. The smell was really good. Everything was sprinkled with hot red powder, either pepper or hot paprika. Too hot for me. I will rinse the leftovers before eating. I must be the only South Shore resident who doesn't like hot pepper. Next time I will ask them to leave off the sprinkle. Surprisingly, my husband is still chowing down, and usually he is the one who can't eat hot food. The food really is very good.

I decided on a 10 piece party wing combo with buffalo sauce. For $10.99 it came with fries and two pieces of toasted white bread in total. My only complaint was that I had to pay 75 cents extra just for ranch and ketchup which is sort of nickel and diming you, but the fact that it's salad ranch packets and not actual legit ranch made for wings is what was a bummer. I'd still return to try some other things on their menu! Great seafood selections for great prices!

The south loop location is where i noticed the change so when I went back to the original I was very disappointed. It doesnt even look the same. IYKYK. Imma try one more time though.

They are on Uber Eats. You can tap and pay. All credit cards accepted. Order in person or call ahead. Order online and there's usually discounts. My only hope and wish: they'd clean the lobby more often and repaint the parking lot lines. You can't go wrong here. Yes, even with the wal inflation we are suffering under this is a good value due to size and costs. They still clean the shrimp well and I tried those spaghetti and never have to have them again. It's just Ragu sauce and sugar or something parallel and that's okay for solks who prefer it. I just don't. Now, I will order them if I am hosting others to round out the meal. Happy eating.

My friend was already there munching on ceviche and once I sat down, our friendly waitress came over right away and gave the menu rundown/highlights.

My friend ordered the pineapple chicken, which was half a pineapple grilled and stuffed with chicken, seafood and veggies. Our food came out quickly and we proceeded to pig out. The rompecolchon was similar to a paella but with more seafood, more citrus and lots of cilantro. I was in heaven. The portions were so generous, we had enough to take home for lunch the next day (or a midnight snack). I've already been back and can't wait to go again.
