Taisan Huakee - Reviews

My experience at the restaurant was largely positive, especially considering the price. The food was awesome for the value. However, the yellow eel was clearly frozen and had almost no flavor. Everything else was awesome though.

My experience at this restaurant was excellent. We specifically requested no added salt and MSG due to a high blood pressure condition, and the food came out perfect. We enjoyed two clay pots: the 5-spice spareribs and a seafood dish featuring shrimp and fish filet pieces. The crispness of the rice was perfect, and the jasmine rice was wonderfully fragrant. I particularly liked the bitter melon with beef. While the yu choy in soup was just okay and not something I would reorder, I plan to return and explore other dishes.

I visited for a late lunch and found plenty of tables available. The restaurant had a TV showing a Chinese cooking show, contributing to a quiet atmosphere where conversation was easy. The service was fast. I was impressed by the clay pots, which had a very nice crisp to all the edges. The rice we ordered was well flavored. While the spare ribs were standard, the lamb was really good. It felt like there was definitely more than one person serving each of us.

This is a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant that passerby might miss. This Taishan establishment serves great claypot rice and other Cantonese staples. I highly recommend getting the five-spice duck. I highly recommend people visit this place, especially since the prices are very reasonable.

My experience at this restaurant was quite positive, especially with the clay pot dishes, which were very flavorful. While the dishes served in lotus leaves lacked some flavor and sauce, the veggies were cooked to perfection. The reviewer's favorite is #3. Overall, it's definitely worth a try!

I came here for dinner to try something different from our usual Hong Kong style food. My mom's family is from Toisan, and they speak Toisan here and understand Cantonese. The food is basic comfort food, and the super yum crispy rice at the bottom of the clay pot is a must-try. Nothing was bad; everything was delicious, and I can't wait to bring my mom. There was enough food for leftovers the next day!

My experience at this restaurant involved decent fried rice and tofu stew. However, the service was very slow, and the staff did not speak English well. Fortunately, Google Translate helped, making the overall experience manageable.

My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. The service was terrible, and the staff seemed unsure how to authentically cook Taishan-style rice. The meat had an overpowering red wine taste, making it inedible. Furthermore, the waitress repeatedly hurried me to pay. The interior was disgusting, even by 90s standards, and most of the utensils were dirty.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food is truly amazing, with the clay pot rice standing out for its magnificent crispiness. I highly recommend trying the duck and the chives stir fry as well. The price is really good for the quality of the food. They do take a break around 3 PM and reopen around 5 PM, but if you call ahead and ask, they will serve you.

My experience at this restaurant was a great lunch stop. The Chow mein was very flavorful, though it did not have many pieces of chicken in it. The service was rated a 4 out of 5, and the food also received a 4 out of 5. The meal was for lunch, and the price per person was between $10–20. The recommended dish was Clay Pot Rice.
