My partner and I initially wanted to eat a sushi place across the street but it was packed. I saw this restaurant on google, it was highly rated, and the food looked good. We walked up and the restaurant was packed with families big and small on a Thursday night—a good sign that the food is goooood. The menu offered the 3 entrees with soup for $30 or 4 entrees with soup for $43. We opted for the 4 entrees since the options were better and we can take leftovers home. The food came out fast, piping hot, and very delicious. Cantonese food is so freaking good. I recommend the rock cod, and beef and broccoli!! I will come here again to try other dishes. It’s affordable and delicious, big portions and a lot of people do take out.

A good place for cheap (westernized) Chinese food. Highlights were the black pepper beef and fried rice. The peking style spare rib and sweet and sour chicken were a bit too sour for my liking. We received a complimentary chicken soup (老鸭煲) along with our meal as well! Though the quality wasn’t amazing, this was an enjoyable experience for how cheap it was.

A little disappointed here after reading the glowing reviews. I ordered the 3 entree dinner with mustard greens (which I thought was “gai lan” but was the cheaper and tougher Chinese mustard), salted cod in black bean sauce didn’t have enough salt or black bean flavor, and salt pepper squid—-probably the most edible plate but was unevenly seasoned. At least the bill was fairly cheap.

Great traditional Cantonese food, solid portions, and a price that made me think I was back in the early 2000s. So. Cheap. The value for (the legitimately great) quality is unbeatable.

Decent light Asian food from southern China region with good services. The fish/tofu dish on top of lunch 3-course menu is really Good. Everything else we tried was pretty good too. Lots of food for lunch. Good service as well all though the bathrooms are not in the best condition. Wonderful price with high quality and fresh ingredients. Just what I need☺️

It’s great Cantonese homestyle cooking. The dishes are flavorful and seasoned with enough “wok air/flavor” and their food is consistently good and reasonably priced.
