Came here at 12:30 on a Saturday night, place was practically empty. I ordered within a few minutes and received both my chicken fried rice and sweet and sour chicken in less than 20 minutes. The rice was pretty good I’d give it an 8.5/10. And the chicken had great taste and flavor. Overall with the low prices and fast service, this place easily earns 5 stars.

Great mom n pop shop. The owner is on hand to help and will custom tailor a dinner for a group of people. The last time I went there with 8 people of which 4 were kids, he dissuaded me from ordering the banquet dinner. Saying it would be too much food and more money then I needed to spend. We got two $69 specials and even that was too much food! Cantonese comfort food and dim sum till very late.

We came here for a group dinner on a Friday night. This place wasn't very busy, but we there was 30 of us so we were more happy with all the attention we got. One of our friends pre-ordered a family style dinner. There was stir fried green beans with ground pork, sticky rice stuff into a chicken skin that was fried, Peking duck, fried flounder in special soy sauce, fried chicken wings, stir fried beef, shrimp and walnuts, and custard buns for desert. Everything was good and we ate for about 1 1/2 hrs. I'm going to go back and try their dim sum.

Good food, good service. Tasty; although, had the egg plant and pork ( kind of tight on the pork. Egg plant and noodles were visible but, the pork???) All the food was served piping hot. Another great S.F. restaurant!! A bit heavy on the MSG so, be forewarned!

Freshly cooked Cantonese morning Dim Sum. If you consume more than $60, ask for $1 lobster, which can be stir fried with fresh ginger and scallion, or made into lobster noodle. Family style large table with lazy Susan. Good for 5-10 group. If fewer people, you may need to share table with others.

Great spot for a quick bite. There's no long wait times to get a seat unlike other dim sum places nearby. The food is good and the prices even better with a large selection to choose from.

Right up there with HK Lounge - great food, great prices, smaller restaurant and superior option to Ton Kiang next door!!! And now with Dragon Beaux a block away, there are really two great Dim Sum options. All the Staples are good - chicken corn soup is really, really good!!

I used to go here every Sunday before going for a motorcycle ride in the Main headlands and will be headed back today. My go to items: har gow, siu mai, baked BBQ pork bun, pea sprouts (a tastier version of spinach/garlic), and the chicken wings, with one other item thrown in to make sure I'm always trying something new. Good service and it's incredibly cheap - usually less than $15/person including a drink.

You need to order the dim sum on the menu sheet at this restaurant rather than picking out the dishes from the cart. But the food is pretty delicious and the price is inexpensive.
