“ Came for lunch on Christmas Day, 20 mins wait for a table. Delicious food (we shared the three plates between the two of us) and friendly staff! ”
“ Definitely worth a try! The scallion pancakes had a comforting texture and taste, at the end of the meal the server gives out a sweet-corn soup, which was a hit! The crab meat zoo mein was a large portion, and had a good seafood taste and umami to it. ”
“ Woahhhhhhh the food here is so good and comforting! It's nestled in the center of Chinatown, so parking can be a hassle when dining here. We came during lunch hours and it wasn't busy at all. Lots of seating and larger tables available for family dinners. Very family friendly. To me, the restaurant has a very welcoming and homey vibe. The staff are wonderful people and the owner is so friendly and kind. Service was fast as we were able to quickly order food and have it arrive soon after. Food came out hot and cooked perfectly!!! Vegetables were amazingly cooked from texture to flavor/seasoning. The noodles were phenomenally crunchy and delicious in the soy based sauce. The shrimp was cream, juicy, and flavorful. Overall, I left feeling full and super content with everything: good portion, taste, price, service, and vibes! Highly recommend this place if you love Cantonese food like me! ”
“ I am not sure if this is consistent within the whole restaurant, but we were seated at a table receiving direct airstreams from the AC vent. It was cold. Regarding the food, we ordered: - Peking duck: the taste was good, although the layer of fat under the skin was quite fatty. Also the duck was not served with the usual side of cucumbers. 7/10 - Stir-fried watercress: there was so much veg. But it tasted good! It was very standard Chinese veg. 8/10 Overall, good experience. I would return to try their other fishes. They had many options and the menu was large. ”
“ Small understated joint with an emphasis on seafood. After years of wanting to try it, finally hit this bucket list joint and I'm kicking myself for not going sooner. Wings: Jumbo whole wings (connected), extra crispy, extra juicy, extra loaded with herbs and spices. Although I wondered how spectacular they'd be if they had a glaze, they really didn't need one. A flavor and textural triumph. Scallion Pancake: Thin, crisp, fairly ordinary, but with very good ginger sauce. Good cling, slightly thicker than usual, good ginger content. Sizzling Flounder: This dish didn't present much volume, but well composed, tender of fish, well complemented by the rustic-cut vegetables (mostly onion and pepper), and coated with a black bean sauce that supported rather than dominated. No glop here. I'd get this again. Crispy Fried Roast Duck: Got the small order and it's still huge. More importantly, the duck was very crisp of skin and as juicy and succulent as can be. Simple, thin topping (more of a light squirting) of mostly soy sauce that gave it just a little extra rather than dominating. Very nicely done indeed. Not only would I get it again, I'd have a hard time not getting it every time. Broccoli in Oyster Sauce: Large pieces either thick stalks and flowery leaves intact. Again, more of a light sprinkling of sauce rather than a thick, voluminous sauce. In this dish I think more and thicker would be better, but still well cooked to bright green, keeping the crunch alive. Service: Not enough servers to adequately handle the room. No negligence or long waits, but with many tables ordering and receiving dishes, it took a while to get the server's attention. Not a huge deal, but noticeable. ”
“ This hole in the wall restaurant located in the lower level may not seem like much based on appearance, but the food is authentic and good. Most, if not all of the servers/staff speak Cantonese. The fried squab was perfect and with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of five spice powder mixed with salt is perfection! I'm not a fan of gamey meats, and I still eat this! The salt & pepper calamari is always my go-to because I love salty, spicy, fried goodness and this is hard to replicate at home because of the wok-hey My family loves a good eel dish and this eel was flavorful and cooked well. The presentation was good too, but the only thing is my family didn't care for the sweetness. They must have added oyster sauce or sugar to the sauce. My family typically doesn't make eel with anything "sweet". The fried tofu with shrimp on top is really good too. The tofu is fried to perfection and the inside is still silky smooth. The dipping sauce is also really good paired with it. We also had a gai lan (Chinese broccoli) cooked in ginger sauce and that was really good! ”
“ Food I always go with at least 4 people so I can get a variety of food. The last time I went to eat with 9 people so we also tried a couple new dishes. Try the salted egg soft shell crab (deep fried) & Toisan stir fry. Always get string beans because the wok hey makes the difference from yum to wow. The tofu topped with shrimp is too much trouble to make at home so it's another go-to. An authentic Cantonese meal that ends with hot tapioca & taro sweet dessert soup. Servers are friendly and helpful and speak Cantonese, mostly. The location is a lower level so there's no natural light. This place has been around for at least 30 years with the same owners and some long-time servers. ”
“ Has got to be my go to. Been going here for years and years with friends, family, celebratory dinners, random lunch pickups and or dinners for take out. My go to dishes always: Salt and pepper calamari (or combo with pork chop) Sizzling Beef (tender beef with onions and pepper and pepper sauce on a hot skillet) pan fried noodles (satay beef or chicken) Satay Beef udon noodles Frog Leg clay pot Fish fillet and tofu clay pot Ginger scallion lobster Duck tongue Get the hot oil for dip, they got good hot oil with actual spice. Being a staple in Chinatown, service is always quick, food is always hot, and staff has always been good to my party. some folks expect a fine dining experience with hand and knees service at a Michelin star restaurant, that isn't the case in any Chinatown. You'll get authentic good food. If you're nice they're nice. Sometimes it's a language / cultural barrier but nobody is trying to be malicious. Located downstairs at the end of Tyler and i haven't yet had a bad experience in all the years I've frequented this place. Even pre covid times, rather hit peach farm then some of the other establishments due to how rowdy the let-out post club time is and the drinks starting trouble. This spot always is chill. peach farm 5* in my book! Let's go see you soon! ”
“ I'm an Asian guy. I've been to a shit ton of these kind of family style seafood places. They're legit here. If you're no frills and don't mind the no bullshit order your food and fuck off kind of service, this place is beautiful. Every dish was absolutely spectacular and pleased my entire family visiting. We got the soft shell crab, dungennes crab, lobster, fried calamari, shrimp, and scallops. Every dish was fresh and of great quality - I personally love squid and really enjoyed the hell out of the fried calamari, one of the best I've ever had but even better, the kind I could eat forever - lightly salted, meaty and wonderfully fried. The scallops with vermicelli was amazing as well. The crab and lobster, incredibly meaty and fresh. This place is just really good and is probably the best "Asian family gather at this seafood spot" I've been to, even with tough competition in California. P.s. the calamari was so good I forgot to take a photo of it ”
