    Salt & Peper Fish Fillet

    The beef noodle soup is so so good and authentic. The tendon is so tender and the beef soup base has a rich umami flavor. The noodles are thick and just chewy in the right way. I think that's their best dish. The three cup chicken was good but not too special and the portion was quite small. Salt and pepper fish was a little soggy but flavor was good. The lady was very nice and patient with us, definitely unlike the fast rushed chinese restaurants. Very homey feel and good location. Lots of older folks eating alone which is quite nice.

    Shrimp in spicy sauce ( tomato based )
    Rucha S.

    2.5 star review : We came here on a Friday evening. It wasn't too busy, and we were seated quickly and given menus. The main lady came over to take our order--we went with the Sichuan green beans, tofu and eggplant claypot, and shrimp in spicy sauce. The flavors were just okay. The green beans lacked that typical Sichuan zing, the tofu and eggplant dish was bland and forgettable, and the shrimp dish tasted more like it was in a tomato-based sauce than anything spicy. Aside from the shrimp, the portion sizes didn't feel worth the price. Service was disappointing. The two young servers and the main lady spent most of the time chatting among themselves, and no one came to check on our table once the food was served. They do have a three-entree deal for around $48-49, which seems like the only good value. Otherwise, the food feels overpriced for what you get.

    Shrimp with bean sauce

    Went out on Friendsgiving with my pescatarian friend, he said we should go there and we had a blast . We ordered shrimp on black bean sauce, it was delicious! Fish cake was nice and spicy, tofu was great ! They play good music here and staff is really attentive, I definitely recommend it!!!!!

    They have the BEST beef noodle soup ($17) here!! The broth is full of flavor and the beef is so tender-and they give a lot! I haven't had any other beef noodle soup in the Bay Area as good as here! We also got the Crispy Rice Soup ($15) and that was okay as well as the Crispy Wontons ($7) as appetizer which beware is not actually wontons! It's just deep fried wonton skin that comes with sweet sauce They have both inside and outdoor seating. Service was good. We had to move tables because of the sun and the guy helped us move everything

    re visit this restaurant for lunch

    One of my favorite places for lunch! I love their lunch menu items. Today, I chose the beef noodle soup, and it didn't disappoint. The beef was incredibly soft and tender, the soup had a rich, flavorful taste, and the noodles had the perfect texture. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend it!

    3 cup chicken and chongqing Spicy Tofu
    Kerrie W.

    We had a party of 3 and got the chongqing spicy tofu, 3 cup chicken, black mushroom with Chinese greens (it's shitake with bok choy), white rice and purple rice (which is purple rice + brown rice). The food was tasty (especially the chongqing spicy tofu). However to be honest I found the prices a bit high for the amount of food that we got. Looking around we didn't get the 3 dish deal that others mentioned--not sure if this deal has been discontinued or we just didn't know about it when we went. Still highly recommend the spicy tofu :)

    Queen House is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant serving authentic delicious Taiwanese and Chinese food. We ordered some takeouts such as jelly fish salad, Taiwanese style fried rice noodles, Taiwanese pork chop bento, and Chinese chives in the box. All tasted very authentic and we will definitely return next time when we crave for some authentic Taiwanese food.

    Eggplant with Spicy Garlic Sauce
    Kristine Z.

    one of my favorite places! It feels really cozy and they have amazing food. They have such a good deal -- 3 dishes with rice for $41.99 (we had leftovers with three people). Everything is pretty saucy but it goes really well with rice. Make sure to check the Chinese side of the menu too since it has slightly different items ... Some recommended items from the few times I went: Eggplant with Spicy Garlic Sauce: tender braised eggplant with crunchy veggies in a savory garlic sauce Three cup chicken: amazing flavor! Tender chicken on the bone with lots of sauce/basil Beef Stew Clay Pot: braised beef with daikon and carrots, lots of tendon pieces, super comforting and a lighter flavor than some of the other dishes Salt and Pepper Sparerib : perfectly fried tender pork! Black pepper beef: a nice balance of lean beef and vegetables, also a bit lighter in flavor in a good way I'll definitely be back to try the beef noodle soup and other items!

    Salt and Pepper Fish Fillet
    Jonathan L.

    We came as a party of two and we ordered the three item meal. Note that it also comes with rice. So we felt that this was a good deal. Note that there also wasn't any wait time as well. We chose the salt and pepper fish, eggplant tofu clay pot and dried tofu with shredded pork. We enjoyed every bit of every dish. We also had enough left over to make another meal the next day for lunch for two of us. The total was about $28 a person. But note that since we got another lunch out of it, in a way you can say it is enough food for four people. So technically, it would be about $14 a person. In summary, based on the price for the quantity and the taste was good. I would definitely recommend coming here. I myself, would come back again, no questions asked!

    yes

    Are there any vegan options here?

    There are few vegetarian options. "Vegan" requires certification and tracibility of all ingredients. So no, I don't think so.

The lemon chicken was dry and the sauce didn't taste like traditional lemon sauces I've had. The rice was a bit hard but edible. My partner had a chicken salad and she seemed to enjoy it. While I was disappointed in my selection hoping it was a one off. They also do not have fried rice which is my favorite. Overall good restaurant just need to fine tune their rice and lemon chicken.

Reservation was easy to make over the phone and you have to preorder duck ahead of time. We also got pan fried buns, bok choy, and mandarin fish. Dishes are expensive but good quality. I read mixed reviews about the duck but I thought it was great - crispy skin and relatively tender/juicy meat. It is the first time I've seen an extra charge for the duck pancake wrappers; it was not a pleasant surprise but at least they were thin and delicious. We opted to have a soup made from the leftover duck and that was delicious. Service was also pretty good; they even packaged the leftovers for us. Highly recommend for a special occasion or to impress friends but too much of a splurge to go to regularly.

Unfortunately, the experience was pretty underwhelming overall. The Peking duck was definitely the highlight of the meal -- crispy skin, flavorful, and probably the only dish I'd genuinely come back for. But everything else missed the mark for me. We ordered the string beans, salted egg corn shrimp, xiao long bao, pork buns, cabbage dry pot, and black pepper beef. Most of the dishes lacked flavor and were noticeably oily. The pork buns were especially disappointing because the dough was overly thick and dense compared to the filling. The biggest letdown was probably the black pepper beef. The meat quality was really poor..a lot of chewy pieces with tendons, and it was hard to enjoy because almost every bite felt tough. Definitely not what I expected from a restaurant with this reputation. Overall, aside from the duck, the food felt heavy, bland, and not very balanced flavor-wise. I really wanted to love this place, but it didn't live up to the expectations for me.

Pork chops were savory with a nice bite. The seasoning was just enough to elevate the rich flavor of the pork.

I was amused by the fact that the potatoes were actually french fries, meaning they are being creative with whatever they have on hand. The results were yummy side dishes, so in a way, it showcases their culinary skills. Rice was fluffy and the pickled mustard greens were a great palate cleanser. Service - 4/5.

The sides of rice were a great addition and helped balance out the richness of the fish. While the fish was cooked well, I found the overall dish lacked a bit of flavor. It had a fair amount of oil but didn't bring enough taste to balance it out. The rice helped, but the dish would have benefited from a bit more seasoning or sauce. Service was fast and efficient. The pricing is reasonable, with the BBQ Whole Catfish dish priced at around $48 for the whole fish. With the rice, it made for a filling meal. While I didn't find the dish to be perfect, I'd like to return and try some of their other offerings in the future.
