    2nd locattion for owners. Outstanding food quality. Replicates authentic savory taste from China. Not americanized. Not panda express sweet. Mapo Tofu: very difficult to get right, different variants of salty and mala balanced. Very far distance from simple boil tofu in chicken broth and add garlic chili sauce. Can see sichuan preserved mustard root, fermented beans from doubanjiang and other spices in there. at the level of the best versions in the area including the ones which are 3-4x more expensive. garlic chive egg savory turnover, jiucai hezi: frozen, very thin outside wrapper. Use air fryer to crisp up so it isn't soaked in oil. Unique in how thin the outside wrapper is so you get mouthfulls of chives and egg without being diluted with big chunks of dough. The best in memory. Not supposed to be a mexican empanada which is much more dough. Frozen wonton: burst in mouth sensation of texture contrast between soft wonton wrapper, crunchy piece of shrimp and pork juice. Shrimp has to be big enough so the crunchy chew lasts more than 1 bite. Better than 90% of the frozen wontons available. Braised bamboo shoots: they sell these at 99ranch in refrigerated section. Crunchy, used both mustard root and salted mustard green. Bamboo not overcooked, crunchy with savory from mustard green leaf and root. Delicious. Not available at panda express or anyother takeout place. Guo Bao Rou: authentic northern china version of sweet sour pork. the red americanized version is copied from this. Slightly sweet and sour. Signature dish. Must try. Good chefs from China are here. Stays crunchy after sauce is applied. If left at room temperature pork is potato chip crunchy hous later. 2-3 item bento box: they have 15 consistent selections which you can order on fantuan. Following selections. Spicy Tofu Signature Classic Sweet Crispy Pork Northeastern Braised Pork Kung Pao Chicken Braised Pork Stew Braised Bamboo Shoots Salt And Pepper Fish Fillet Garlic Broccoli Stir-fried Pork with Chili Homemade Tofu Three Fresh Vegetables Stir-fried Fish Fillet Chicken with Chili Salt And Pepper Pork Ribs Extremely high quality for takeout place. Few tables outside. Frozen dim sum/pastries might be better than Jenny's kitchen which until now was the gold standard.

    Called in ahead to order the salt and pepper wings off the appetizer part of the menu. Arrived to pick them up and decided to get the rest of the broccoli! I don't know how long the broccoli was sitting there for but they were sooo delicious and still very crispy!!! Also, they were nice enough to throw in their HOUSE SPECIALTY, SWEET N SOUR PORK!!! Which is AAAMMMAAAZZZIIINNNGG

    Tripe

    Hole in the wall Chinese fast food. Just like Panda Express but with some other authentic items. Not bad.

The combination of meat, veggies and the exterior crispy pancake created such an outstanding tasting effect. The lamb dish had one of the most tender meats I've tasted. The brown sugar sticky rice cake was soft inside and hard outside; with just the right amount of sweetness. Service was ok. They should've been kinder and more grateful. I liked how they have a sign posted on window saying that gratuity is at free will and you don't pay for the wrong dish they send to you. It showed accountability. That's why we keep coming back, for now.

There was no line for us to be seated. I was able to flag down a server to seat us since they seem to be extremely busy cleaning tables and servicing others. The hotpots are full of ingredients and the broth has always been tasty. Unfortunately, the meats seem to be overcooked. Prices have been going up over the years where only the monthly special is enticing for the value. Servers were friendly and checked in on us, but it took 25 minutes for our food to show up at our table after we ordered. The only consistent experience I've had are the oranges at the end of the meal. They are always amazingly sweet, juicy, and comes off the peel easily. I don't usually enjoy oranges, but I love the ones HomeEat offers! Will be back if in the area, but hope kitchen service will be quicker in the future.

    Bookmarked on my wish list for awhile, but this weekend was the opportunity to dine in. Our mom…read morewanted dim sum to celebrate Mother's Day, so our family came 1 day early. We knew to go early, since they don't take reservations and we often see lines outside. We arrived at 10:30am and the front manager said if we can be done my 12:30, that they had a table for us. Party of 12, since we got there early, we agreed. The side room had the biggest round table for us. They ask you what kind of tea you want, we like chrysanthemum tea. You order the items on the paper menu and it comes to your table. So we got going on the orders and TBH, we must be hungry, because we did a lot of orders (we had plenty of left overs). Tried some favorites and a few new items that we thought were unique to their restaurant. My dad has to order crispy noodle and chow fun, and we also ordered chicken fried rice. The service was prompt and attentive, with enough servers to take care of the side room. Since it was the "sun room", the sun was shining through the windows and it was bright. Review from my parents: it was just meh, they prefer the other place near our house. I think the food is good, but probably won't come back again with a big group of us, since they don't have many big round tables. And personally, I prefer the whole experience of the ladies coming around with their carts. Perhaps their dinner menu is also worth trying. Bonus for us is that we can literally walk to this restaurant. Parking could be an issue if you come later.

    This is my go-to spot for friend gatherings for dim sum, mainly because my best friend love their…read moreblack sesame egg custard buns. Ironically, I'm not a fan of them myself--they're a bit too eggy for my taste. When it comes to dim sum quality and service, I honestly prefer Koi Palace. The food quality there is more consistent, and the service is much more phenomenal. The only things this place really has over Koi Palace are the lower prices and those black sesame custard buns my friend loves! I've been here at least a dozen times, and the food can be hit or miss. Sometimes dishes come out cold, like they've been sitting out for a while instead of being served fresh and hot. That said, there are a few items we always order that are consistently good when brought out fresh like salted crispy pork chops, siu mai, shrimp rolls, and fried calamari. Be prepared for a wait on weekends since it gets crowded. If you're coming with a large group, it's best to arrive before noon. The restaurant is located next to a hotel, and finding the restroom can be confusing since it's inside the hotel. Service is also pretty minimal--they seem understaffed, and I almost always have to flag someone down just to get basics like soy sauce, chili, and water. I don't understand why they don't just have the sauce on the table for guest to dip, but I get that they're saving $ on controlling the cost down. On my most recent visit, the experience really went downhill. Our table had food but no soy sauce, chilli nor water, and when I flagged a waiter multiple times, he got visibly annoyed and irritated. It was frustrating--we shouldn't have to chase someone down repeatedly for basic condiments. Being met with attitude for that honestly left a bad impression. That experience alone makes me reconsider coming back. Good food at a good price is one thing, but poor service--especially to that extent--can really ruin the overall experience.

The restaurant looked pretty much the same as I remembered. Arrived soon after they opened at 11, we were told to pick our table. The dim sum push cart came around very quickly after we were seated. We were not given the menu, just ordered dim sum items from the cart. We shared a total of 8 or 9 items; most of them were pretty tasty with decent ingredients. Shrimp dumpling - Large, the skin broke on some Siu-Mai - good / ok Tofu skin roll - one of our favorites Chicken feet - four large chicken feet, plump, tender and tasty. excellent Shrimp rice roll - good, portion is on the smaller side Steamed rice in lotus leaf - good Turnip cake - large pieces, texture is on the harder side Egg tart - very good Although I appreciate the dim sum push carts as it's more traditional but probably because the first batch of items sat for a while in the cart, they were not as hot as I'd like compared to 'cook to order' places. The restaurant filled up nicely around noon which is good to see, dishes from regular menu we saw on other tables looked interesting and served in good portions. Overall, we had an enjoyable lunch with good tasting food and friendly service, price is comparable to other restaurants in the area. Easy parking is a plus. Would like to come back and try the regular menu items.

The garlic was hittin' from all angles and just added a very nice touch to the flavor depth of the dish as a whole. Jajangmein- Delicious black bean sauce noodles. They gave us a large bowl of sauce and honestly, it's good for two portions of noodles plus 2 portions of rice with just the sauce. I wanted to cover everything in it because it was just that good. I just wanted to eat more and more and really should've asked for a bowl of rice to eat the sauce with. Chicken wings - Sticky, sweet, very well fried. The glaze was amazing. They offer it bone-in, or boneless and we opted for bone-in. It was definitely the way to go because the wings were succulent and juicy!

    Food - ordered the jjampong, kan pung gi, and the green beans…read more Jjampong was a respectable size and had an adequate amount of seafood (squid heavy). Would've preferred a spicier soup, and noted it didn't have that wok hei, similar to other Korean places. Overall a decent bowl, and the best dish we had. Kan pung gi - first time eating this dish but it was a lot sweeter than expected. There was a bit of a crunch, but nowhere as crunchy as other Korean fried chicken places. Meat itself didn't have much flavor either. A disappointment, but part of it was our preference in taste as well. Green beans - really dry and some were undercooked. Not really much flavor in the dish. Biggest disappointment. Service - we never got check ins, unless we flagged someone down - not usually a big deal, but it was hard to flag anyone down when we wanted drinks and our check. They also kept mixing tables up, and tried to give other table's orders to us three times. We also never got our banchan refills, even though they took it away early on in our meal. Ambiance - a run of the mill small restaurant, nothing fancy. Parking is tight in the back. Didn't have much of a wait on Sunday at 7:30pm.
