The point is to be able to try many diff items at a time. But if there too big you get full and or don't feel like eating any more. Quality wasn't that good either. They used the same basic filling of shrimp paste and pork for many dishes so it all kinda tastes the same. The rice sheet rolls were ok and the sauted garlic pea sprouts dish was good. Staff were polite and efficient. They were actually really busy so many people do like it and it's just me?? Maybe give it a try for yourself.

Worth a visit if you're in town - plan ahead!

Ginger and Scallion Crab Body: Coated in a thin layer of batter and deep-fried, then sautéed with ginger and scallions, perfectly enhancing the crab's sweetness. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it's very flavorful. Crab Shell Fried Rice: The rice is distinct, with a refreshing and non-greasy taste, and plenty of shrimp and other seafood ingredients. Steamed Grouper The fish is incredibly tender! The skin is fragrant with scallions--absolutely delicious! Grouper also has very few bones, making it easy to pick out and eat, perfect for the elderly. Peking Duck (Two Ways to Enjoy): A portion of the duck, skin and meat, is sliced ​​off and eaten like Peking duck, wrapped in a pancake, but the flavor is different! The skin is crispy and soft, and the duck meat is delicate! The rest was chopped into small pieces and soaked in the roast duck broth, just like Cantonese roast duck It's a pretty good Chinese restaurant, worth a try!

I went for dim sum with my family and enjoyed the elegant setting. Service was friendly, but they were a bit short-staffed and we waited a bit for a tea/hot water refill. The food is fresh and droolworthy. We ordered a variety of dim sum dishes to share and I loved their plump crystal prawn dumplings and cuttlefish. We also ordered 2 noodle dishes: Singapore style vermicelli and pan fried crystal noodles with bbq pork & shrimp.

Not sure what they mixed with it The eggplant was very fried to the point that the skin is tough. Sauce has no flavor. The deep fried taro was ok. The inside meat was flavorless. Comes with 4 pieces so that makes up for the price. The phoenix claw is mediocre as well. Not as many pieces as expected.

Drove to Uptown Chinese restaurant for lunch from Gibsons Landing. The restaurant, which is a good…read moresize, was almost completely empty. There was one other table seated, but that was it. We were somewhat worried about this. Our server was friendly. We asked for lots of lemons/limes with our water and got one slice of lemon each. She didn't really understand the concept of limes, but did go back and get us more lemons. I ordered the Tofu in Salt & Pepper, which is an appetizer, and my friends ordered the spring rolls, which were very nice, Chinese broccoli, and stir fry broccoli in garlic sauce. None of the dishes came with rice, which surprised us. The S&P tofu was spicy, crispy, and delicious. It had small pieces of red and green peppers and onions. It was also fairly spicy, so let them know if you want it milder. They slice the tofu fairly thin, which makes it easier to get crispy I'm sure. My friend's Chinese broccoli was also very tasty. It's not really broccoli but a type of kale with stems that has great health benefits. The stir fry broccoli with garlic sauce didn't have a ton of flavor, but it was cooked well. I really didn't taste much garlic in it, but it was bright green and crunchy. They make their own sauces in house and the yellow mustard was not as spicy as the ones you get pre-packaged. The sweet sauce for the spring rolls was very nice; I added it to my tofu, which went together nicely. The red chili sauce was more sweet than spicy. This was a solid Chinese restaurant, but it did not stand out amongst its peers, hence the 3 star rating.

Pan fried bun - long wait to receive, pretty greasy inside - however had a nice crunch to the bun. XLB - standard, the soup within was pretty tasty , watch out for the temperature as usual. Crab Claw - No idea why we decided to have this as lunch, was pretty impulsive - did take some time to arrive , very meaty , so nothing to complain about. Fried Tofu - was the dish highlight, nice crisp with a warm soft interior, spiced to perfection! Wine drunken Chicken - was soft and juicy, however aside from the cooking wine taste, there wasn't anything more to add. I would skip a re-visit , as Richmond is pretty competitive, however it's not bad and worth a shot.
