    Love their signature pork bun! Starting 2/17/2025, no more phone call pre-order, only on site ordering, so sad

    House special bao! (My dad ate 2 before I could snap a photo...)

    These stuffed bao Zi buns are the most legit copies of what I remember my grandmother making at home. Thin in the bun breading, with juicy meaty center, love love love. I'll def be coming back. My mom bought a box - 9 of the house special for $11.99, cabbage and pork is $13.99, preserved cabbage and pork is $15.99. My personal favorite is the house special, but mom liked all three. Easy and quick take away process. $20 minimum for credit card.

    This' my go-to place for steamed buns. The quality of the baos are pretty consistent, I love the chewiness of the dough and the fillings are flavorful. My favorites are the pork, chicken mushroom and veggie (chive & egg) baos. Tips: Go around noon time that's when all the baos are fresh out of the steamers. Order ahead for the pork baos, since it tends to sell out quickly. Bring cash, they only take credit card with $30+ purchase.

    Best Chinese Bun AKA BaoZi 包子

    4 stars... for BUNS (BAOZI) only lol!!! I've been hearing all the raves about this place so finally I got to-go order from this place on a pouring rainy day. Maybe it's like after "swimming" in the rain so the buns tasted extra good!! One order comes with 9 buns and I swallowed two buns in about a minute. It really hit the spot!!! I'm reserving the fifth star as I only had one thing here and it's a hole in the wall place so I will be back to see whether the buns continue to hit the spot and whether the other items are worthy of a fifth star. Can't wait!!

    That's the worst buns I ever had, the meat is really bad quality, not fresh,only up to $30 can use card,excuse me? I think they doesn't worth the money 非常难吃,馅尝起来只有点甜味,很奇怪,肉也不新鲜

    Got a bun from them. Taste good. Definitely deserve more stars. The way the meat marinated is perfect to me.

She is seriously so sweet and makes the whole experience so much better. I got the jajangmyeon, which is honestly one of my favorite Korean Chinese dishes. The noodles were nice and chewy and there was plenty of sauce, which I love. Definitely a comforting meal when I'm craving jajangmyeon! They also have the classic sides like pickled radish and onions, and we got the glazed sweet potatoes too. Something else I noticed is that they have separate private party rooms! So definitely save this place for the next time you want to have a private dinner, family gathering, birthday, or even a baby shower. There's a good amount of space and the separate rooms make it feel a lot more private. Overall, good food and really great service. And another shoutout to Diane because she genuinely makes me want to come back!

I think this restaurant is famous for their Lobsters but I never come here for that. My family is not a huge fan of Lobsters and I can't really afford that kind of Luxury. Most of the time I come here for the set meals. The second set meal has 1 soup and 3 dishes. We ordered the house special seafood soup, Clam with Basil Sauce, Sautéed Pea Sprout, and Kung Pao Chicken. With the set meal prices, each dish is less than $14. My wife likes the Peking Style Pork Chop so we got that too separately. Most restaurant charges $2-2.50 for a bowl of rice. This restaurant only charges $1 per person and gives you a giant pot of rice so you can have second or third if you are hungry. Traditional Cantonese restaurants usually have crappy service but the staffs here are very nice. They frequently change your plates and the food is served quickly. The restaurant is pretty clean. The best of all, the food quality is very good with good value. We like their Kung Pao chicken because the chicken is fried before stir fried and they made sure to use dark meat. I usually don't eat Pea Sprouts but this version is tender and garlicky. The Basil Clam meat is fat and each clam has sauce coating it. They are not cheap with the quantity of clams either. The dish is filled to the max. If you are looking for a traditional Cantonese food, this is the place. It is both affordable and tasty. Give them a shot.

Whole Garlic clove didn't taste fresh that were prepared with the Chinese Broccoli dish!! The Pepper & Salty Pork Chops were not cooked the way I had envisioned or used to !!

It took about ten minutes for us to get a booth table, but we were waiting inside. The staff member called numbers firstly in Cantonese then in English. After we sat down, the waiting line persisted past 1 pm. Similarly, the bustling loudness continued on during the course of our meal. Food arrived quickly, however. The price point for the delicious food is competitive. We got French-style filet mignon ($18.99), braised tofu in brown sauce ($14.99), chicken chow mein ($14.99), and a steamed rice noodle roll with barbecue pork ($5.99). A pot of rice was included in our meal. The steamed rice noodle roll with barbecue pork was a nice appetizer that arrived first. I enjoyed how the French-style filet mignon was garnished with Thai basil, black pepper, and ginger. The meat was flavorful and tender. The braised tofu in brown sauce was consistently hot on the inside. The delicious brown sauce soaked throughout the vegetables. The chicken chow mein didn't have a lot of sauce, but it was still delicious with a lot of meat included. Overall, it would be nice to visit again outside of a peak time because the food prices are competitive. The menu is expansive, and the breakfast selections look interesting. The atmosphere during the Sunday lunch peak time was consistently bustling. I think the restaurant started to play Chinese music loudly at random points so that people could finish dining more quickly.
