Very welcoming. Was attended to immediately with a smile. Sat down for din sum and was greeted immediately with food to chose... from. Every one of the wait staff were so kind and patient with us. Food was delicious and fresh. This will be my family's newgo-to for dim sum. Thank you for a great experience. Read more

Came out here to celebrate the going away of my boss. This was one of his favorite places that he used to go to with some of his... colleagues from our company. So it was fitting that he sort of ended his career at our company by inviting colleagues old andnew to come have a meal here. This restaurant is located in a sort of a shopping center. It is a classic Chinese restaurantwhere you can find the usual fare. Most of the tables are the round kind with the lazy Susan in the middle so that you can havea family style meal by ordering a la cart dishes and rotating it around so that everybody can get access to it. This restaurantappears to be more of a family style environment. The waiters and servers are not dressed up in any kind of uniform and whereT-shirts and are friendly. The food is good but not necessarily eye opening. This is neither good nor bad. I believe you wouldbe satisfied with the dishes that they serve. Typically when I eat at a restaurant of a type that I frequent, I look forsomething that would catch my eye to make it stand out from the crowd. For this particular restaurant, I really liked their hotand sour soup. The flavor was quite good and most noticeably it was spicy. Spicier than the average person would probably like,but it was fantastic for me. None of the other dishes were bad in any way nor particularly outstanding, but all weresatisfying. If you were looking for a classic Chinese food experience and don't need any of the fanciness, this place will doyou well. Read more

We only ordered takeout once, but one month after that purchase, our credit card was charged by this merchant without... authorization. We had to cancel our card and go through lots of troubles to update our new card at stored sites. Will never goback ? don?t trust this restaurant. Read more

There aren't that many Cantonese cuisine restaurants in this part of the Bay Area, and this is one that we come to from time to... time. The food is usually pretty okay, and the price is fairly reasonable. And you would get complimentary dessert too. Read more

An okay place for American infused Chinese food. The waiter and waitress are very helpful and friendly. But I don't like the... food so much. Read more

4/13/2022 at 7:00pm. Still excellent place for asian dishes. A little high price but worth the flavor. Salt and pepper spare... ribs. BBQ fried rice Read more

Came for some authentic Chinese food and ended up with just the usual American-fare. And honestly then, the food didn't even... meet those standards. For sure one of the bottom 5 tasting dishes I've ever purchased from a Chinese fast food restaurant.Extremely disappointing, especially for the price you pay. Read more

In this period of soaring prices, it's really worthwhile to stay here with cheap, full and delicious food. This is my first time... here. Today is the national day of the United States. My family and my mother-in-law have dinner together. We are very satisfiedand happy. I'll come back often Read more
