Delicious authentic Cantonese food! Came on a weekend with my family and everything was hot and fresh.
Also, super reasonably priced.
It's hard to find authentic family owned restaurants these days, so this was a real treat! We ordered salt and pepper spareribs, eggplant with minced pork and preserved vegetable, stir fried beef cubes, stir fried cauliflower and pork, and my favorite fried stuffed tofu.
Highly recommended for lunch or dinner including takeout and catering, will definitely come back again!

i grew up eating here and covid hit them hard even now :/ i ordered to-go via phone call, so the order to food wait time is really fast and the quality is still there.
i think what would really help their business grow for people to start dining in, is possibly remodeling the inside, since it’s very grimey and old feeling interior wise.
and that really turns people off from wanting to dine it i feel! one of my absolute faves is their rock cod fish filet with braised tofu in a clay pot!!! SUCH SMOOTH FISH AND JUICY TOFU?? no place does it better than here.
PERIOD. their surf clams with vermicelli noodles is another favorites of mine and it was/is always very good.
get this.
so garlicky and perfect as an lux appetizer. i will definitely come back time and time again for their貴妃蚌 and fish and tofu and just cus i wanna support a childhood restaurant of mine.

This looks like a family owned restaurant.
No waiter, you just go in and find a place to sit and hope the owner of the restaurant comes and takes your order.
I won’t comment on the cleanliness (not up to mark), the entree doesn’t come with rice and you will be charged $1.5 extra for one portion of rice.
The food was good, liked it.
You won’t get a printed receipt, we were given a hand written receipt They had already added service charge / tip into the receipt (interesting).
