Amazing Food, Late Night Gem
I love coming here late at night for a satisfying meal. I often cook brown rice at home and supplement it with dishes from this restaurant for a quick and delicious meal, or sometimes I opt for their fried rice. The chef, who also serves as the cashier, is truly amazing.
I've often found him sleeping after midnight, but a gentle wake-up call leads to ordering, payment (cash is preferred to avoid extra charges), and a fantastic meal within 5-10 minutes. Everything the chef makes tastes incredibly good. Be prepared for huge portions; the fried rice alone lasts me two full meals.
I hope everyone supports this kind and talented chef to keep this restaurant going.

Delicious Cantonese Food, Needs a Refresh
My experience at this restaurant brought back fond memories of eating here in the early 1990s when my family lived nearby. The food remains delicious and tasty, offering great portions at a decent price. I particularly enjoyed the Beef Chow Mein (pan-fried crispy noodles) for $10.
95 and the FuKien Style Fried Rice for $12. 95, which could easily feed three adults or a family of four. However, the restaurant needs an update or cleaning to make the dining experience more enjoyable.
We were eating while writing this review. If you're looking for delicious and tasty Cantonese cooking at affordable prices, this could be your place.

Good food, needs a clean lobby
My experience at this restaurant was marked by good food and good service. However, the lobby could use a little more attention to cleanliness.

Great Portions, Decent Chinese Food
For the price, the portions are hefty. It was a good takeout spot for something quick and on the cheaper side. While it wasn’t the best Chinese food I’ve ever had, for San Francisco, I couldn’t believe how much food they gave us.
They even gave us a Mung bean thing for free with our order. For three people, we had the sesame chicken, salted fish fried rice with chicken, Chinese broccoli and hot n sour soup. Everything was solid and lasted for like 3 days.
I did not appreciate sauce spilling all over the bag and they skimped on the chili oil that we asked for. It also was not as tasty or spicy as it usually was. This is very simple but decent Chinese food; don’t expect to be super impressed except by the portions and price.
Surprisingly, nothing tasted super greasy. Of course we will be back again because it hits the spot when you’re craving it.

Disappointing Dish Discrepancy
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The spinach was good, and the pan-fried noodles were also enjoyable. However, I was very disappointed when I ordered a crab dish that I saw in a photo online.
The dish that arrived was completely different from what was advertised. The service and atmosphere were rated poorly.

Great late-night Chinese food
My experience at this restaurant was great when craving delicious Chinese food late at night. It has a bit of a grimey vibe, but don't let that put you off. The flavors are on point and the prices are very affordable.

Sizzling Claypot Dishes & Friendly Service
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The people here are always friendly to me. Their claypot dishes are sizzling good and absolutely bomb.
I visited for dinner late at night, and there was plenty of parking available as not many other places were open. The atmosphere, service, and food were all rated a perfect 5.

Great Chinese Food, Late Hours
This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the area. A big pro is that it's open until 12 PM, so when I get off work at 9: 30 PM, I can still come here and have something hot to eat. However, they don't have many cold drinks, and I really enjoy having a cold ice Coke with my meal (though they do have hot tea).
The food is great, and the price is decent. More details are in the photos. They have many other good dishes, but as I eat here casually, I don't take many photos.
The environment is quite big inside, but perhaps because I eat there quite late, the service is barely there. Seasoning trays are in the middle of the dining hall, and you have to get them yourself and bring them to your table. But the owner is very friendly.
Overall, good and affordable food. I would come back often.

Good Food, Slow Service, Needs Renovation
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The food was good, served in big dishes. However, the atmosphere needs some work; the floor felt bouncy and sticky.
We had a large group of 20 people, and there wasn't a single big table available for 10, so we had to combine two round tables, one for 12 and another for 8. The service was kind of slow, but since we weren't in a hurry, it wasn't a major issue.

Disappointing Freshness of Pork and Chicken Dishes
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing due to the quality of the food. The sweet & sour pork dish and the chicken dish I ordered were not fresh at all and tasted expired. The chicken was particularly rubbery and tough.
This was unacceptable.
