Outstanding Cantonese food! My husband is from Canton and this is definitely one of the most delicious and authentic Cantonese food we’ve had. Despite its humble look, the food here pleasantly surprised us with the high quality. We had both lunch and dinner here in the same day. Highly recommend it!
10 stars for this Cantonese family restaurant. I just want to say, every plate was bursting with flavor. My favorite was the fried squid, mouth watering, full of flavor with every bite. I also want to point out. Patrons here were very friendly, a few asked if it was our first time. Apparently, a lot of older Asian couples and families fine here. Keep in mind, this is a family restaurant so be prepared to wait for your delicious food.
Quite an underrated establishment with amazing and authentic Chinese cuisine. The braise pork dish is such a wonder, definitely a must-try. Overall the taste is there, flavorful yet simplistic, nothing too fancy but rather well-balanced. Service is wonderful. Staff is so sweet and friendly. Atmosphere may be a bit stuffed, but it makes up with a feeling of coziness, like a true family restaurant. Highly recommended and definitely coming back for more!
We arrived at about 11pm to order some shrimp fried rice to take home. It was reasonably priced and the portions were generous. It was very tasty and there was shrimp throughout. I could smell mildew when I walked in and I wasn't told how long my wait would be. I would recommend the shrimp fried rice at this restaurant.
