Parking out front, very limited. Great service, food here is delicious. Great for parties or big group. Garlic crab: a must Walnut shrimp: yum Chinese Broccoli: yum

I only come here for one dish, the house special crab! It's deep fried in egg yolk and loaded with fried garlic. What is there to not like? It can be a little pricey, however. They also have a pretty extensive menu if crab is not your thing. Service is spectacular! They change your plates frequently, especially if you have a lot of bones/shells on your plate. Wet nappies are provided when dealing with shellfish. It is a typical Chinese restaurant where it can get loud if it's busy.

Visit med this place after a few years and was glad they still have lunch specials during weekdays. The food came quite fast. There was free soup and bowls of white rice too. But the cooking was a notch above most restaurants including NBC takeout. I really loved the salt and pepper pork chops, so tender and delicious. Will definitely return. Lunch specials are dine in only.

Stopped here for a late lunch so the restaurant was almost empty. We came for the House Special Crab and oh my god it was delicious and plentiful, the waiter said it was a 3 pound crab! Deep fried and piled high with an amazing amount of fried garlic. This is a feast. Not greasy at all. The crab was easy to get out of the shell and was so fresh and perfectly cooked . They have a lot of other things on the menu so go with friends and share a few dishes. The service was attentive and the restaurant is very clean and modern looking.

Love their house special crab and taro dessert! They also have done-in only lunch specials.

Had a great experience here on a Saturday night. No wait to get a table, maybe because it was raining earlier. Service was so good, prompt, and professional. Easy to raise your hand and make eye contact to get someone to help. Requests for plate change, wet naps, water, packing up, helping clean up a spill, and get the check were all dealt with nicely. 18% tip was included on the bill for parties of 6 or more, and the waiter was clear and friendly in mentioning it to prevent me from over-tipping. House special crab was $70. Very tasty as everyone already knows. Salt and pepper squid was light and crispy with a nice chew of the squid. Steak cubes with satay sauce was generously portioned with many large chunks of beef, but maybe the chunks were too big. The texture nor the satay sauce were a hit at our table. Soy sauce duck with tofu was pretty good, especially when using the vinegar dip as it should be. The duck was well seasoned, was meaty, and not fat. Fried seabass with garlic sauce was ok. Frying seabass didn't seem to match the texture of the fish IMO. Better steamed or baked as more typically seen. Chinese broccoli with dried fish was fragrant with nice wok hei. Can't make it like this at home! Had to park across the street as the lot was full even though it was a relatively quiet night. They were right around full capacity.

Returned hoping for another great experience and the food did not disappoint! I would recommend their Fish w/ black bean sauce and Honey Walnut Shrimp. Amazing food, reasonably priced. There was an extremely loud, large group there, who definitely drank more than they could handle. My group could barely hear each other even though we were several tables away. The staff did nothing about this sadly. Thankfully it only lasted about 45 minutes. Most of all, looks like they had a mini-remodel. I loved their new painting deco! It's most likely featuring a new modern art style that gives the viewer the ability to change the primary focus of the art. For example, it may appear that some paintings are out of position, but once you tilt your head, it's actually the surrounding paintings that are off instead. Jk, it's actually unacceptable. As a yelp elite and honorary regular who is still giving 5-star, I demand that this be corrected ASAP! If you saw it, you would know what I'm talking about. Someone, please help us all out and bring this to their attention! For your sake, I sincerely hope that they get this straightened out by the time you arrive. You're welcome.

Best House special crab! All the little bits of fried garlic are so tasty on rice. Despite all the chili, it isn't spicy. And it isn't dried out, and there is plenty of crab meat! 10/10 My family loves coming here but this is my first review. They have plenty of large tables for 10. Great service, extensive menu with pictures as well as pictures on the wall. The staff gives everyone water, makes sure tea is refilled and frequently comes by to change out your plate for a clean one. They also give you those packages hand wipes. And they take credit cards! House special chicken is tasty. It is served room temp and with the ginger scallion sauce- which also great in rice! 10/10 Spareribs with bitter melon in broth. Bitter melon was quite bitter. Not much meat or spareribs. Not my thing. 4/10 Braised pork belly- so soft and flavorful. 8/10 Lettuce wraps- couldn't really taste a distinct taste. Iceberg lettuce was crisp and fresh. The meat mixture had a great texture but not much taste despite adding hoisin sauce on the wrap. 5/10

I went here to try their signature house special live crab (salt, pepper, crispy garlic), along with other dishes like chiu chow special porridge, soy sauce duck with tofu (whole), and house special chicken lettuce wrap. It was not too busy when we went around 5pm, though it was busy but with some empty seats still around prime dinner time around 6:30pm when we left. Typical of Chinese restaurants here, we got served tea, and we also requested some ice water on top. The crab is pretty good, meeting my high expectations. I love their crispy garlic that they put in, and the meat is quite fresh and sweet. However, the meat can be a bit tricky to take out in some parts. Currently it's around $25 per pound so it was $76 for the crab. The chiu chow special porridge is also very good - it is soup with rice, but the rice to water ratio is lower than that found in a typical porridge. Additionally, the dish also has some oysters, shrimp, etc which makes the price tag more worthwhile compared to the standard fried rice dish they offer. Soy sauce duck with tofu is marinated well. I love how they do not have much bone, so for the majority of the pieces, you can just eat it without much effort. Also, there is not too much fat under the skin. The tofu is very soft and flavorful as well. House special chicken lettuce wrap is decent. I like the crunchiness to it, and there is a good amount of vegetables. The slight downside, but fortunately they did make aware of that for us, is that the menu price is not accurate, and that the dish is $4 more. Service is very good especially for a Chinese restaurant, as they actively clear your dishes periodically as the crab shells accumulate, and they fulfill requests fairly quickly when you flag them down. This is one of the better restaurants in the area, albeit on the pricier side.
