    Perfectly cooked potstickers!(my fav)
    Lauren Z.

    This is my ultimate favorite Chinese restaurant of all time. My family and I have been coming for years on years and I have yet to find better tasting Chinese food to date! The owner is super friendly and pretty much knows everyone since he's been in business for what seems like forever. He really cares about his business and his customers! Everything you order is absolutely delicious. I have yet to have a bad dish from here. You can't go wrong with their egg rolls, potstickers, beef satay(sticks). Their egg rolls are phenomenal! Best egg rolls in town in my opinion. Their sweet and sour sauce tastes so fresh and the ingredients in the egg roll and the outside crunch is something other worldly! Potstickers tastes better when you eat them there compared to to go. Either way it's still delicious, exactly as pictured. Big round and fluffy dough with a perfectly sizzled under side. Mouthwatering! If you are a Mongolian beef fan this is the place to order! Best Mongolian I've had to date. Sweet and sour chicken, ginger chicken, Kung pao chicken, beef chow fun, chicken lo mein, garlic shrimp, garlic chicken=all top choices. Oh! And they have this sauce that's pretty much a chili paste---very tasty and spicy! I mix it with everything and it's such a good combo and the perfect amount of kick. Do yourself a favor and at least try it once and tell me I'm wrong! So so so so good, relatively inexpensive as well.

    BEST DANG POTSTICKERS
    Nini K.

    What can I say, it's the BEST dang potstickers anyone could ever have. Don't miss out on these beauties. I've grown up with this restaurant (quite literally) and 25+ years later they are still workin' it. Family-owned friendly faces that make you feel like home... I could never get sick of it. From homemade potstickers, to satay beef, to sesame chicken, to lobster... they've got it all. Would I come back? Yes! They've got a free small parking lot tooo.

    Satay beef (on a stick)
    Lin K.

    The decor of the restaurant has the remnants of a 1970s something banquet hall with its floor to ceiling mirror walls, worn down carpeting, awkwardly placed chandelier, and tiny high stool bar tucked way in the back of the restaurant by the kitchen and bathrooms... but who comes to Hong Huah for the decor? Some of the reviews here gripe about the slow service of the place, but when the food is this good... you have to kick back and take the time to truly appreciate the delicious Chinese food this place has to offer. Things you must try here... 1. The pork wok fried potstickers (dumplings). Why are these 8 pieces of deliciousness worth trying? The dough has what the Taiwanese would describe as the perfect " Q Q" texture. Meaning that shell of the dumpling has a chewiness texture that is firm and has a bit of a bounce as you chew. The bottom of the dumpling has the perfect sear, which provides a delicate crunch factor, hence why it is called a pot - sticker... these are literally just the description of the outside. The inside of the dumpling is stuffed with a giant succulent pork meatball that is just mouthwatering delicious. The potstickers are served with a vinegar soysauce and hot chili on the side. Both are a great accompaniment to the appetizer. Note that these are fried, and as expected will be greasy, but they're not saturated in oil. 2. Satay beef ( on a stick). 4 pieces of beef, skewered into a stick. It's marinated in a Taiwanese BBQ sauce that is called satay sauce (沙爹醬). I can't describe it, but you just have to take my word for it and try it. They're delicious. 3. Although I don't have a picture of it cause it was inhaled before it even hit the table... there is a sliced sausage dish you absolutely have to try. It comes with slice raw garlic and it's just that good. It's one of those appetizers you need with a beer, specifically a Taiwan beer (台灣啤酒). 4. Beef chow fun with pan fried flat rice noodles , bean sprouts, and green onions. It's a delicious noodle and beefy dish. A bit on the greasy side, but keep in mind it is fried noodles. 5. Hong Huah lobster, which is literally one whole lobster seasoned with the restaurant's secret spices and coated in drawn butter over a bed of steam broccoli. I can't quite describe the spices, however it is delicious. The lobster itself was cooked to perfection. The spices was a great accompaniment. I would have prefer to have control of how much butter I consume though I will have to make a mental note to ask of it can be place on the side the next time. 6. Fish filet with a veggie melody. Little chunks of white fish coated in what tasted like a tempura batter, light salty sauce, and the veggies consist of pea pods, water chestnuts, carrots, and bamboo shoots. Overall, the restaurant provides delicious and large portions of foods at a very reasonable price. The decor is dated. The service is slow, but the staff is friendly. This is a small family own restaurant for over 25+ years. This place is a small hidden gem in the neighborhood and dare I say, better than some of the places in Chinatown? It's a great place to bring small children out to dinner. Do keep in mind that there isn't a changing table in the bathrooms though.

    I've been coming here for more than 15 years and to this day is my favorite Chinese restaurant. Family owned and full of peace and amazing food. Awesome lunch specials 7 days a week which is a completely rarity though I recommend anytime everyday of the week! Support small business & enjoy!

    I have been eating at this place for years. The lunch menu has always been spot on. Great portions all around. I have brought a date here once and she loved it. The location is always clean, well kept. Friendly staff, always answers questions in regards to the menu. The lunch menu includes soup and egg rolls. Everything is very well served, if you don't get the lunch menu but the full serving menu for dinner is also great. Very well prepared no matter what you order. I highly recommend stopping in here for a good dinner. Thank you for being in the neighborhood. Great location. Great service. Great food. You cant go wrong with this location. Thank you.

Blind Faith Cafe has a pretty great selection of things to choose. Prices can be high but that's to be expected and usually it's worth it. The menu includes things like burgers and salads. Bigger than expected to be honest. It's got a lot of room for banquets and parties. There's quite a few tables. A lot of things to like about it. The prices are one thing not to like though. It's about $17 for the cheapest entrees. Many of these are a lot more. I got the Blind Faith Burger. Pretty typical looking. This comes with a choice of a side. She had the Gardein Chicken Sandwich, which is plant based except for the mayonnaise on it. The rest of the menu includes bakery items like cookies and pastries. For sure this is one of the pioneers of vegetarian places around the area. It's closed Mondays. They accept reservations.

The Blind Faith burger was mealy and crumbly, but the real problem was that it tasted rancid. In other words, it was inedible. I did not send it back because I was someone's guest, so I did my best to nibble the bun around the burger. (The bun, by the way, was stale and tasteless.) I hope this was just an off day.

We were able to get a table fast, and oh boy, TVs everywhere. Pretty much anywhere you sit you can see at least five. So the guys were happy with this, though it makes the restaurant overall pretty loud. Their menu has all of the pub food fare you would expect, including several delicious looking burgers. I got a Bleu Cheese & Bacon Burger, which was pretty great and came with a mound of fries. My daughter got the Mac & Cheese from the kids menu, which ended up being an adult's plate size of mac and cheese. Not complaining -- just you can probably split this between two kids. The beer list was also great. We had to wave the server over a few times after waiting a while for our checks and refills, but overall, this was a pleasant visit. Would come back.

I decided to get the lobster garlic pasta! The lobster was cooked correctly and the meat was tender and not over done. I really enjoyed the dish. I'd order it again in the future. Overall, the service and the food were great! I highly recommend this place for some good food and drinks!

The highlights for me were the foie gras and the lamb chops, which were a special item: they were so tasty and juicy in their sauce and absolutely perfectly cooked.

Service was fine but not overly warm, and since it was our first time, we found ourselves asking about the menu rather than having it introduced. The menu starts with a shared hummus. We had the bubbe's brisket, which was very tender, along with four sides to mix and dip with pita. For the second course, we chose the kubbeh halab and beef tongue. The kubbeh halab, a fried dumpling with lamb, was flavorful and came with some dill and brown sauce, that worked well together. The beef tongue was extremely tender and paired nicely with its rich sauce. The stuffed cabbage with rice was a bit plain compared to the other dishes. For mains, we had the barramundi and lobster. Both were cooked well. The sweet potato purée with the barramundi did not work as well with the beurre blanc since the textures were too similar, and there was a bit too much sauce. The lobster stood out with a citrus sauce and slices of blood orange, and paired nicely with the parsnip purée. Worth the additional $20. For dessert, we had the malabi, which was described to us like a panna cotta. The citrus topping was a bit too tart, so this was probably my least favorite course. Overall, really good execution on their meats and seafood. We would come back and try other dishes. They also offer a happy hour with some dishes available à la carte.

It is a casual somewhat "fast food" style restaurant where you order at the counter. I came before dinner time so the place was relatively empty. I ordered the Combo Plate #2 which included grilled lamb kabab, beef kofta and chicken kabab. The combo came with a Jerusalem salad, house salad which was essentially a cucumber salad, pita bread and rice. Overall, the flavors were generally all there. The only issue I had was with the preparation of the chicken and lamb. The chicken was overcooked and dry. It is as if they had cooked the chicken kabab and was refiring it on the grill to order. The beef kofta was fairly tender and flavorful, but the lamb kabab seemed to lack the distinct gamey lamb flavor that questions the quality of the meat. The combo plate is a hearty portion so you certainly won't go away hungry. Overall, for the area, Falafel Dream should satisfy any Meditereanean food craving. I haven't specifically tried their falafel, but I would be cautious if they are made beforehand rather than made to order. If you have ever had authentic Middle Eastern food, this doesn't really quite hit the bar. It may cater more to the American taste preference. Service was average. Prices were reasonable. Parking is very limited.
