It is hard to find good authentic traditional Chinese bbq after having really good Chinese BBQ from Vancouver BC Chinatown and Hong Kong traditional master. New Hwong Kok is probably the best here in the east bay relatively to others which is far worse. This is why there's always a long line during Chinese holidays.

Came here on a Thursday evening with the family to celebrate another family member's upcoming…read morenuptials, and there were ten of us in the party that evening. This was a typical Cantonese style eatery where you would get together for family gatherings and/or to celebrate events. The decor had the usual elements that you would expect from such a place: crystal chandeliers, fish tanks, gold columns, and giant TV screens. We tried their 10-course banquet-style dinner that they were advertising for $488 (before tax) and I believe this special was only available on weekdays. Portion sizes were extremely generous, and they did not skimp on the ingredients either. The banquet courses included delicacies such as suckling pig, geoduck, whole fish, and lobster to name a few. This meal easily fed ten people, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home. It was such a great value that towards the end of the evening the restaurant sold out of their banquet special. Overall, the food was pretty good...even though they did overcook the lobster. They have their own huge parking area, so it was super convenient. The dining area was very spacious. The service was casual and efficient. I went to dinner with no expectations, so I was pleasantly surprised. This place impressed my family that they even came back the next morning to try their dim sum.

Everything we ordered was good - there wasn't anything that I didn't like. The variety makes it especially fun when you're with a group since you can order a bunch of different things and share everything around the table. Also, the cart servers are truly superwomen/men! I'm not sure how they move those carts around so quickly lol. Definitely part of the fun of the whole dim sum experience.

This place is a unassuming shop, and you wouldn't really notice it unless you were looking. There were three other groups there when we were seated and it stayed quite empty.

We're nor sure why this place is so empty, but we enjoyed it.

Came here for dinner on a Friday evening to celebrate my brother's upcoming wedding. Not sure why…read moremy mom picked this place, probably because its really close to her house, but our dining experience was a let down. They only had two people working and there were about 5 tables of diners. These two servers were running around non-stop and you had to flag them down every time. They didn't have time to refill our tea pot so they just left a big jug of hot water at our table to refill it ourselves. The restaurant is large, but feels very old and dated. Some chairs were taller than others, carpet needs to be replaced, its in desperate need of a deep cleaning, refresh and remodel. The food was just OK. Some stuff was overcooked and our fish dish and some of the crab was a little under cooked, while some dishes were swimming in oil. Between 8 adults and 2 kids, we had about 9-10 dishes with lots of leftovers (noodles) to take home. Since my mom picked one of the preset menu options, our bill was over $500 for mediocre Chinese food!!! Let's just say, I have no intention of ever coming back.

In the weekly rotation…read more Now with a more spacious location in the same plaza, just around the corner. My picky Taiwanese mother requests that if I bring her dim sum, it should be from here. Her favorites are the bean curd rolls and the shrimp chive dumplings. I think everything on the menu is great, and I always get a cold HK lemon tea to go with my order. Staff is friendly and efficient, and kind and attentive even when running around to fulfill orders. Glad to see that they're doing so well!

There was no one waiting at the counter when I arrived, but the waitress walked past the counter to assist customers at a table. I waited patiently to place my order. A few minutes later, another couple came in and stood behind me, waiting to be seated. When the waitress returned to the counter and appeared ready to help the next customer, she ignored me and seated the couple who had arrived after me instead. After waiting about five minutes without being acknowledged, I decided to leave. I had hoped to try the food first and, if I enjoyed it, bring my family back for a meal in the future. Unfortunately, this experience changed my mind.

We were early so I thought more people would trickle in as noon approached but it remained pretty dead for most of the lunch hour with maybe one other group of diners that arrived after us. This restaurant is known for their lobster noodles and king crab. Didn't feel like splurging too much for lunch so we opted for the lobster noodles. It wasn't bad but didn't blow my socks off either. The noodles, I felt were on the soggy side and overcooked. I like my noodles al dente. The Peking duck left my mom disappointed. She's a pretty good cook so having higher standards, she may be harsher with criticism than most, but this time I agree with her. The Hong Kong version of roast duck may not be as fancy as Peking duck from Beijing but I expect it to be at least minimally roasted. Mom took one bite and said it tasted like boiled or steamed duck that was thrown in a fryer to make the skin crispy after being boiled. The meat was not the consistency of roast duck and the skin was too dry and wrinkled. Now for someone who isn't a good cook, I doubt they would tell the difference. One saving grace is the waitress was very friendly and courteous. This appears to be a family run restaurant. I wouldn't mind giving them another chance but this location was slightly out of the way for me. I can at least say, I came, tried the food, and gave an honest review.

I've enjoyed everything I ordered and another bonus is that it's quite clean inside! Some of my top dishes are the XLB, string bean with pork, and braised beef brisket. XLB is some of the best I've had, with them being HUGE and filled with nice hot broth. String bean with pork is savory and has a deep rich flavor. Braised beef brisket is so tender and you get so much for $25. Service is always top notch and are always attentive. Never felt like they were short staffed.

The space was modern and clean inside and the service was really friendly and on point. Parking may be a little tricky since it's mostly street parking. Here's what we ordered for the 2 of us: Pork XLB (5/5) $13.50 Comes with 8 XLB. They were juicy and plump and had a good amount of soup in each bite. Remember to ask for the ginger container so you can put your condiments in to dunk them in. Pan Fried Chive Dumplings with scallop and shrimp (5/5) $14.50 You get 3 very crispy dumplings. Extra chives in the middle so you must love chives along with diced up scallops and shrimp. Very tasty! Spicy Cumin Zhajian Noodles with Pork (4/5) $15.95 It wasn't too spicy very tolerable and slight sweet cumin flavor sticky pieces of pork. Make sure to toss well with the noodles. It also comes with thinly sliced cucumbers and bean sprouts (which I should have removed from the dish) as we both actually don't eat it. Shrimp and Pork Shao Mai (4/5) $14.50 Comes with 5 pieces. Each piece was a good size and juicy. I would definitely come back to try more dishes. Come with more people to try a variety of them!

As soon as we sat down, we got 6 little dishes with vinegar and ginger. They know if you're not here for XLB, you have made a big mistake. What we ordered for 6 people: A1 Pork XLB A2 Pork w/Crab Meat XLB A3 Loofah & Shrimp XLB A4 Shrimp & Pork Shao Mai A9 Green Onion Pancake Thin A12 Beef & Cucumber Roll w/Green Onion J3 Salted Egg Yolk with Tofu B2 Stir-Fry Pea Shoots with Garlic We were satisfied, but not stuffed. Definitely recommend the normal XLB. Good meat flavor. Skin not too thick, but also little breakage. The three dishes I thought were pretty interesting. The Shao Mai - even though it's pork, it's seasoned and has texture like a dim sum beef ball. Loofah and Shrimp XLB - good flavor, but it's a loose filling (nothing to form it into a meatball). Salted Egg Yolk Tofu - tastes good, a little more moisture than what you would expect from this style of prep. Overall, we were happy with the items we got and would definitely come back if we were in the area.

4.5 stars. Full House is still delicious!…read more This visit we enjoyed the boiled tofu, a Choy with ground pork, and XLB. All were still delicious as ever. The boiled tofu is a fried soft tofu that is taut on the outside but almost custard-like in the middle bathed in a sweet, yet delicate sauce and then topped with cilantro and bonito flakes. Gets us every time. So good. The A choy dish. Was cooked to perfection..still a little crisp to the bite. The addition of braised pork belly was a taste of savoriness that rounded the veggie freshness. The XLB here has always been solid. Nice ratio of filling to broth. The XLN skin here is also on the thinner side. Perfectly done. Glad that this restaurant is making it through the economy when so many in the area have closed.

I guess they're only comparing this to DTF and have not been to other restaurants. The taste of the food was ok BUT the rice was hard, anything fried was very greasy (layer of oil on the plate), the veggie stuff pancake was cold. I asked the waitress about the cold dish but she just mumbled something and pointed to the other employees. I had to ask someone else and he brought it back to the kitchen. They gave us a new hot plate later. Even though this is a chain restaurant, I doubt if we'll be going back especially since there are other options available.
