Theres a to go area and also a seating area that's pretty good to fit maybe 15 parties. Parking can be a bit difficult since it's a small plaza. Food: Eggplant 8/10: this is always my go to dish here. The flavor is on point and it's great w the porridge. Only downside is that the skin of the eggplant can be hard sometimes so I peel it off and just eat the inside. But the flavor is def there for me. Mapo tofu 7/10 your basic mapo tofu. Minimal numbing spice to it which I like. Tomato egg 8/10: another great comfort food. Flavor is good but can be a bit more tomato-ey maybe a bit more ketchup to bump it up a notch? But I still enjoyed it. Braised pork with egg/ 7/10: they can def braise it more so that the meat is a bit softer, but again I still enjoy the flavor. Overall I find myself coming back, maybe bc it reminds me of my childhood I would come here w my parents. Nostalgic vibes lol. FYI: they automatically charge for porridge/rice if u sit down to eat there. $3 a person.

Food didn't taste as good as more than 15 years ago, overly expensive banquet menu. Price on…read morereservation menu was way different from actual price at restaurant. Won't allow to change some food on banquet menu, just had to add another dish. Food came out fast & with big plates, hardly any space on table, waiter just left it on top of 2 serving trays. They didn't care that serving plates were still full. The beef loc lac was tough, deep fried fish sauce tasted weird with their sweet sour sauce, pea sprouts which I was trying to change to another dish but couldn't, sure enough was so fibrous & chewy. The special fried rice was so full of all different kinds of meat that it was like a meal in itself. With 10 different dishes it would have been better to serve plain white rice. Felt service could been better for 18% service already added on bill. Tea was even charged. Had to ask for menu at cashier & was told already at table, asked for waiter so we can order, had to ask for water, spoons & forks or to have some serving plates taken away to have more space at table. There were few waiters & feel that they were not attentive and restaurant was not even busy. Even parking lot was not full but there was courtesy valet parking & girl was insisting on parking the cars even though several cars was starting to line up. I would never recommend or return to this place again. Just disappointed that my guests did not enjoy the food as well.

Elegant high end setting, delicious slightly different food, reasonably priced for the value…read more For the 4 of us, we ordered the group set menu B, designed for 4-5 people for $118. It was very sumptuous, high quality, with dishes like roasted duck, jelly fish salad, and pepper steak. My favorite was the fish soup, fish was tender and soup was very flavorful. Tip: once we ordered the set menu, dishes came up very quickly, it's best to let them slow down the pace if you are not in a rush. We got way too many dishes initially for us to enjoy properly, after letting them know, they gladly slowed down. Only complaint is it's a bit hard to hear each other even at a small table of 4-5 people. Several private rooms are available for events, the large one required $1500 min expenses before tax & tip.

The Xiao Long Bao was absolutely delicious. Tip: make sure to eat these right away. It's better when the soup is hot; rather than letting it sit and cool off. My favorite dish is the Dan Dan Noodles. I love their version because its peanut sauce is creamy and makes the dish more tastier. It could use a bit more pork. I still enjoyed this dish though!

Was craving beef noodle soup the other day so I decided to try it from here. Called in my order and…read morepicked it up within about 20 minutes which was nice and easy. I ordered the house special beef noodle soup, which they're known for. The portion size is solid with a lot of noodles, plus bok choy, tender beef, and tendons. The broth is on the lighter side, which some people might like, but for me it felt like it was missing a bit of depth. One thing I didn't like is they don't include pickled vegetables. I feel like that should be standard with beef noodle soup, even just a small portion helps bring everything together. Instead they charge extra for it, which was kind of a letdown. Overall it did satisfy my craving, but it didn't really have me wanting to come back right away.

And they have some chairs for people waiting. The wait wasn't too bad, around 25 minutes or so and they text you when the table is ready. They have a very nice interior design and not that many tables inside, but they do a good job of serving food fast so the wait times aren't bad despite the small space. There is a ipad at your table once seated so you can directly send your order to the kitchen instead waiting for the waiter. We got the Wagyu Beef Chinese Burger, Kurobuta Pork and Crab Meat Soup Dumplings, Kurobuta Pork Soup Dumplings, Stir Fried Noodles w Angus Beef, Dry Pot Cauliflower, and Sweet and Sour Kurobuta Pork Ribs. The waiters here were friendly and attentive, giving extra napkins and refilling our water cups often. The food was served in like ten minutes which is fast. I liked the Wagyu Chinese burger the most since the beef is stir fried very well and seasoned very flavorfully. It is just pricey for the size. The soup dumplings were all pretty good with good meat quality and dumpling skin. Each soup dumpling order only comes with 8 which isn't too bad for the price. The cauliflower and stir fried noodles were both pretty good too, very flavorful. The porb ribs were just average though and pricey for only 8 pieces that are not very big. The flakey beef rolls are also very good. Comes with four per order and the meat quality and skin was just perfect. Overall, this is a pretty good spot for soup dumplings and noodles, and I highly recommend the Wagyu Chinese burger. The portions are a bit small for the price but the food quality is good. I can see why there is always a line outside. Their service is also great and fast. I liked how they help pack your leftovers to-go for you. Will come back again!

You can also get the duck soup at an extra charge. There are many restaurants in SGV for Peking Duck, and this is on the top 3 of my personal favorites. The food here has been consistent and good over the years, whether we have dined in or ordered togo. The lobster here is definitely comparable to other seafood restaurants in the area. We recently ordered their Mapo Tofu Lobster, just to change it up a bit, and it was surprisingly delicious. They do remove all the tail meat and mix it in the Mapo Tofu. It was on the spicier side but if you like spicy food, give this a go. I like the garlic scallops with glass noodles but does give you garlic breath. The walnut shrimp is also a popular dish there.

They offer Chinese/hunan dishes, appetizers, and fun cocktail drinks. The dining area is large, and they have a karaoke stage with a live singer on certain days. But contrary to the bright neon lights, the music was pretty mellow, which made it easier to talk to one another. I came here with a party of 12 for dinner and we were seated right away. They have an extensive menu, including a special lunch and dinner menu with dishes for $11.99 each. Our group got the party menu for 8-10 people for $328, which included 10 of their dishes. I enjoyed the variety and the display, but it may not be worth it if you don't enjoy all dishes. Some dishes include chicken gristle, steamed tilapia, hunan chili pork, frog meat. If these aren't your jam, it's probably better to select the dishes individually, especially if you can't handle spicy! Hunan dishes contain lots of chili and is often pretty oily. Overall, I would return and select just the dishes I enjoy, and perhaps try their alcoholic drinks to pair with the spicy dishes!

The sauce was rich, slightly tangy, and baked perfectly into the rice. I swear I only come here just for the baked tomato rice and getting chicken was a nice surprise because I usually would get it with the pork chops. SO GOOOOOD. The braised tofu with mushrooms and broccoli was also really solid. It's comforting and really well seasoned. Brick toast was really good too. Crispy on the outside, soft and buttery inside, exactly how it should be!!! The only thing was the pear chicken soup that was a whopping $12.99 for a smalllll bowl. It tasted delicious but the price was not worth it for how small the portion size was I really love this spot so much. Every time I come here, the quality is consistent and the customer service is so fast!!

We were…read moreable to call ahead earlier in the morning and ask if we could be on the wait list or reserve a table. They told us they could reserve a table for us at 6pm. We originally were hoping for 7 or 7:30, but based on how busy and popular this place is I can see why they said no. Come early and get seated right away and there's still ample parking in their parking lot. By the time we left at 7:30p, the lot was packed and people circling around hoping to snag a spot from folks leaving. The restaurant is pretty large and has about 3 rooms with different size tables and booths. No matter the size of your party, there's a table that will accommodate. The staff were very nice and attentive and FAST! We had our food out probably 15 min after we put in our order! Now...on to the food. We ordered one of the set menus for our party of 7 and it was spot on! As you can see in the pictures we had all the "classics". Our set meal could easily be enjoyed by at least 10 people. We had so many leftovers! The food was all well prepared and sufficiently seasoned. Portions of each dish was plentiful and everyone will be able to get enough to satisfy. My favorite items: lobster (duh!), kung pao chicken, pork chops, and shaking beef. The seafood soup is a great starter, and don't forget to add a little vinegar and pepper! Great restaurant in the SGV. This location is much bigger than their Rowland Heights restaurant, but the food is exactly the same. This is a great alternative to the popular Newport Seafood, so don't sleep on this place!

Been looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant. Haven't been to one in a while. This place was…read morerecommended to us by a friend. Came at 530 pm on a tuesday, and there wasen't anyone here yet. Afterwards it filled up quickly!! The main thing I dont like about this place is they dont have the prices on what your ordering. Which I'll get too at the end. Like any other Chinese restaurant, their menu is super extensive. I love how they have a little bit of everything. And its very well organized too. We ordered the following: 1. Crab and fish maw soup- this soup was amazing. It was just the right temp. Got me sweating. Can easily feed 12 people. Great amount of maw. The consistency is just right. Tasted so good!! 2. Small lobster special- on a bed of noodles. It was about 5 lbs. Cooked well. Could do without. Basically flavors. And it was expensive!! About $30 a lb. So this one dish cost basically the same amount as all the other dishes. Which was just too much. If I knew it was that much I would definitely not have ordered it. 3. Walnut shrimp- not the best walnut shrimp I've had. But it was ok. 4. Garlic shrimp- this shrimp dish was ok. Too many bell peppers and onions. It was just ok. 5. Mongolian beef- flavors were not that great. Very tender though. Could've been better. 6. Sea trout- this was amazing!! I love the sauce. Fish was so soft and tender. The heat, the spice, the sweetness. Some of that sauce in white rice was just perfection. It was really really good. Best dish of what we ordered. 7. Kung pao chicken- this was a really good dish. Crispy bits of chicken. But so soft and tender inside. I love the sauce that it was in. It was by far one of the highlights of the meal. It was good food. Price for everything (except the lobster) was pretty good. Food tasted amazing for the most part. Typical Chinese customer service. Pay at the front. Massively large portions. Solid authentic Chinese food.

Parking lot is tight, there's not a lot of it at street level. You can enter from the parking lot through a back door or you can enter from the street.
