Fried Squab
Tracy Y.

Absolutely the best authentic Cantonese Chinese restaurant we've been to in a very long time. We asked my mom where she wanted to go for her birthday dinner and she chose this restaurant. She called ahead of time to order many amazing dishes. When we got there, the restaurant is very unassuming. Then (nice) cars start pulling up and you can just tell that all the patrons in there are seeking very high end and authentic food ordered ahead of time. We saw several walk-ins turned away because I over heard the owner telling them that most of the reservations made have pre-ordered their selections for the evening. This place is expensive. But it is ultimate fine dining. You don't need to dress up. You just need to make a reservation, pre-order your entrees and go enjoy an amazing Cantonese cuisine. We cannot wait to go back. There is plenty of parking because they are in a business park. Give them a try. You will be amazed and impressed. My brother who is a major foodie was pleasantly surprised. Now, we don't have to drive to Monterey Park or Rowland Heights for amazing Chinese food.

Bird - delicious
Catherine C.

Food is delicious but a lil pricyyyyy but everything was absolutely FIREEEEEEEEEE. Like every dish was amazinggg bc usually you only go to a spot for that 1-2 amazing dish 1. Coconut soup with chicken - literally chicken coconut soup in a coconut . Sooooo coconutttyy but sooo good. Came with that black chicken 2. Pidgeon - was like a mini Beijing roasted duck but that skin was extraaaa crispyyyyy and there was really little meat but it was soooo juicyyyy 3. Shredded chicken 手抓雞 - if you like that hainan chicken trend, this is 50 million times better than that shit you've been consuming. They have some scallion oil throughout the whole chicken and it's so soft and juicy. Like I've had hainan chicken that's dry af but everyone be calling it juicy. Nananaa- you gotta see that drip drip to call it juicy yooooo. 4. Eggplant in preserved fish- it's literally just garlic eggplant but that sauceeeee is addicting with that preserved fish. It's not a fishy flavor but it got that umami saucey thing that everybody wants on crack. So good with rice I could eat bowls of this shit.

Black chicken with Chinese herbs and etc.. was delicious!!

This place is small and cozy but the food is amazing!! The chef even came out to check in and us and asked how the food tasted!! Highly recommended and the food was delicious!! I would so come back to this place with my friends and families.

Buddha over the wall
Phuong Anh N.

It's my first time trying this place. I have been looking for this type of food for a long time. They serve a very good, authentic, high quality cantonese food. The menu is very creative and unique. I ordered with Silvia's help and recommendations: - Buddha over the wall: fresh, high quality, the sauce is delicate for you to tatste the quality of all the ingredients. - Fried swab: rich flavor, the skin is super crunchy outside, flavorful and juicy inside. - Cuttlefish pot: cuttlefish is crunchy, sweet, full flavor, not too much oil, very fresh. - Fried eggplants with fermented fish: this is a very authentic dish, and not for everyone. If you can appreciate the unique taste and smell of fermented fish, you should try this. This is full flavor, goes well with rice, very creative. - Tomato beef soup: clean broth, delicate, very healthy, high quality, very well balance with my other dishes. Overall, this is such a unique dining experience. The service is great, the food come out in a well time manner. I would definitely come back to check out other dishes.

Chinese Cucumber Pot with Egg Yolk
Queen M.

Best chinese food in town. Very authentic taste. Definitely not fast food. Waited a lil bit because we just walk in without reservation. But its worth the wait. Definitely very comforting food. Might not for everyone. No sweet and sour soup,no broccoli and beef.l, no egg roll just like canto. So if you are adventurous. Give it a try. If you are cantonese. This would be the best in the area

Amazing Cantonese food, fresh ingredients and attentive services. We enjoyed our weekend dinner here.

Been a few months since we came here, but the food tastes even better. Our go to items Eggplant with salted fish Braised Beef with radish Coconut with chicken soup The only thing is, they need an English menu.

Holy Mole!! Stumbled on this restaurant and WOW!! D

Holy mole!! Stumbled on this place and never imagined the food would be so incredibly delicious. Had the pork spare ribs with bone and garlic flakes!! not your typical Cantonese Cuisine. I'll be back to try more dishes. You have to try.

It was quick and the servers recommended a lot of great stuff. We order the flat burger with pulled pork, the trio noodles and we also got the cold chili noodles! Trio noodles: 5/5 I had this before and I didn't really like it much on my first visit but this time it was EXTRAAAAA good! Maybe because there was more tomatoes sauce on it.

I like this one compared to the one I had in NY because it didn't have other adds on in it, just straight up pulled pork Cold noodles: 4/5 it was good but I thought the pork skin was kind of odd? It wasn't crispy, it was like mushy and soft which I thought was unique but not my favorite. However, with the chili oils added in, it was perfect!

The rougamou was extremely greasy, like dripping into its own pool of oils. The cold noodles were mid but the texture definitely improved when I reheated them. I think I would have liked one of their hot, stir-fry noodles instead. Service was ok and there's a small parking lot in the front.

Beef and broccoli was perfect with those strips of beef and that pile of broccoli made for what's good as it was just standard but delicious in its own way!

What a pleasant surprise! We found this little Xi'an restaurant while shopping and ended up having…read moreone of the most satisfying meals we've had in a while. The lamb skewers were juicy and perfectly seasoned with cumin, and the grilled beef tendon skewers had an amazing crispy, chewy texture. The soup dumplings were full of flavorful broth, and the braised beef knife-cut noodles were chewy with large, tender chunks of beef. We also tried the beef paomo for the first time--it was warm, comforting, and packed with rich flavor. The portions were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and after chatting with the staff we learned the owner is from Xi'an, which explains how authentic everything tasted.

This spot used to have amazing fresh, delicious food and compostable tableware. Now there are ceramic plates which appeared scratched and dirty, all the food came in different plates/bowls, beverage fountain doesn't work, and worst of all, food was not good. We all ordered things we always do that we love and everything was a miss. My fried rice was SO dry with just a few tofu pieces. I added so much hot sauce, chili, and soy sauce and it still wasn't good. Cucumber salad was completely different and actually off putting. No one said their food was good which is the exact opposite of all of our other experiences. To top it off, everyone felt sort of sick after because of the amount of salt in the food. Staff were doing their best but everything seemed unorganized and we had to constantly ask for things that were missing. Heartbreak.

I ordered their most popular dish, the A1 set, but honestly, it didn't really live up to the hype for me. The broth tasted pretty underseasoned overall. From what I understood, you're supposed to mix all the toppings into the soup with the noodles, but even after doing that, I still felt like the flavor was lacking. Yes, they provide seasoning on the side, but personally, I wish the broth already had enough flavor on its own without needing to adjust it myself. Would I come back? Probably not. Nothing really stood out to me enough to return, and it felt more like a one-time experience. Overall, everything was just okay.

The restaurant is located in a large shopping plaza. Although I wouldn't say there's plenty of parking, I was able to find a spot without much trouble. When I first saw the crowd waiting outside, I got a little intimidated and even thought, "Should we just go somewhere else?" Haha. But surprisingly, the wait wasn't that long, and we were seated much faster than I expected. Once we sat down and looked at the menu, I was already impressed! I loved both the variety of dishes and the prices. There were so many things I wanted to try, but I decided to save some for future visits. Haha. We ordered the Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings), a noodle dish, the Beef Roll, and the Scallion Pancake. The food came out pretty quickly, and we started trying everything one by one. OMG. Everything was SO GOOD!! Honestly, every single dish exceeded my expectations. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The Beef Roll was especially impressive because it had more beef inside than the ones I've tried at other restaurants. The Xiao Long Bao was juicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! The Scallion Pancake was perfectly crispy on the outside, with that wonderful savory flavor. And the noodles! I can't remember the exact name, but I think it had "Golden" in it? Haha. It had a unique flavor that I'd never experienced before, with a little spicy kick. Even though it was spicy, it was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating until the bowl was completely empty! While we were eating, I suddenly thought about my family at home, so I ordered another Beef Roll to go. And here's another thing that really impressed me: **THE SERVICE!** The employee who helped us with the bill was incredibly friendly and pleasant. I was genuinely happy to leave a tip because the service was that good! But what happened afterward impressed me even more. After paying, I went to use the restroom. The hallway leading to it was somewhat narrow, and whenever I passed an employee, they politely stepped aside to let me through first. It might seem like a small gesture, but I really appreciated it. It felt like treating customers with kindness and respect was simply second nature to everyone working there. Great food, wonderful service, AND reasonable prices? What more could I ask for?! Honestly, **why would I go to Din Tai Fung when I have 7 Grams?!** Haha! From now on, whenever I'm craving Xiao Long Bao, 7 Grams will be my first choice! And I definitely have to come back because the dishes I saw on other tables looked absolutely delicious, too. There are still so many things I want to try! **7 Grams, you've officially won me over!**

Good customer service in spite of mistakes goes a long way. The atmosphere is casual, and low playing 80's rock echoed throughout the dining area. The restaurant had a relatively small dining room which wasn't overly crowded at 6pm-ish on a Friday night. The bar counter hosted a couple guests as well. The honey walnut shrimp was arguably my favorite meat, while the house chow mein was my favorite side. The restaurant provided complimentary fried wonton crisps complimented by sweet and sour dipping sauce. This was the perfect starter prior to our food coming out.

The parking is okay, its pretty small but its do able. We went to eat around 2 PM on a weekday so parking was great and the restaurant wasn't too busy. We were greeted the moment we walked in and sat at a table. What I liked about their menu was that they offer smaller plates if you want to order individually, and also offer family size plates for sharing. We of course opted for the bigger plates. We ordered orange chicken, chow mein, white rice, broccoli and beef, and pad thai. I want to start off by saying I'm typically picky with my orange chicken.
