My friend and I both got rice plates and they were delicious, well-priced, and had large portions. The staff only spoke basic English but we successfully ordered by pointing at the menu. Highly recommend.

Had dinner here with family and friends. They have a private room. The king crab fried rice was really good. It had some crunchy dried shrimp. Everything tasted really good. Very authentic food from Guangdong China. The wait staff are Toisan. Bathroom is unique, unisex. Would highly recommend. Eel was great also. Had giant oysters. Love the fresh shrimp. Always so sweet.

Very attentive staff, reasonably priced and good value for food you get. Food was also tasty! Hope they will maintain their good standards after grand opening period. Cash only for now. Not sure if it’s because they didn’t credit card terminals yet.

Went here to eat with my family during their grand opening and everything was delicious! Waiters here are really nice and pay attention to the customers. Asked the owner and they said they are currently not taking online orders for delivery, only through phone.

Lovely place for group gathering! We are visiting from SF and tried many seafood resultants in the area and this by far is the best in term of food and environment! If I work near by, I would definitely also consider this place for team meeting /gathering as well!

This is a Chinese restaurant, the crab is sweet and fresh. The chicken is tasty but too oily. The bean is delicious, but again, too oily. I would recommend the crab dishes. The restaurant is spacious and close to the subway (8Av Brooklyn, N train). Worth a try!

This place is a good place to get authentic food, although they were slightly rude, they made us get our own drinks which was very unprofessional. The food on the other hand was superb! You should definitely get lobster sticky fry rice!!

Food is okay, but the CASH ONLY policy is unbelievable. Paying all cash for a $XXX bill is RIDICULOUS. Will not come back.

Be careful ordering their seafood!! They will tell you it’s X amount of pounds, but in reality, it is much lighter. It seems like they had overcharged many customers before too. We did ask about it and the waiter was speechless. Times are rough now, but lying to customers will make you lose a lot of loyal customers. Been here many times since they opened, but very disappointed now. Service is okay; it used to be amazing. Otherwise, the food is pretty good, especially their house chicken. Great chefs.

Called months ago to reserve table and was told $688 minimum order per table. Was told the same amount when preordering items a few weeks ago. On the day of, received call 3 hours before meal that minimum is $800. We were seated in the room with the 2 tables and karaoke system. Felt and looked grimy and had the lingering smell of cigarette smoke. Server that took order repeatly questioned our choices. We want the cumin lamb...."you sure you dont want lamb chops? They're better". Chicken w ginger sauce, "you sure you don't want this other dish instead"? I get upselling, but for every single dish? Food was greasy and salted with heavy hand.

This place overcharge customers, giving them $100 dollar tips they still asked for more. We have 5 people dining and the waitress was not satisfied with the tips. The food was mediocre. Not recommend.

I found a hard black object in my string beans that almost broke my tooth. When I contacted the restaurant, they told me it was “from the olive oil during cooking,” which makes no sense and shows no accountability. This was not only disgusting but dangerous. I took a photo and saved the item. Will never order from here again — be careful.

I’ve been to this restaurant a couple times in the past and never had any issues before. However, last night I went there to celebrate my birthday with my family.The waiter informed us that there was a birthday promotion for salmon sashimi. We had ordered a substantial amount of food for a party of 12. Everything was going well until the salmon came. After the initial first bite, I could tell that there was something wrong with the taste. I know that this was not a specialized restaurant for sashimi and that this was just a regular Chinese restaurant which led me to think that the salmon wouldn’t be sushi grade but somewhat edible. I was completely wrong about that, in the middle of the night my family started feeling ill. The salmon sashimi was definitely not clean or it had been somewhat spoiled. My entire family including myself now have food poisoning. The service was also not impressive. We had asked the water to pack my cake back into the box and just shoved it back into the box and had toppled over. Not only that, but while they gave us clean plates to exchange for our dirty ones. They only took two dirty plates and left the rest of the dirty plates on the table. There was no room on the table so we expected the waiter to clear out at least the dirty dishes.

I came to this place and they ignored my online order. I asked them to take a look and they immediately told me that they were busy even though I already paid for the food. After, I waited 45 minutes before deciding to leave because they never gave me my order. Don’t order whenever they’re busy - they will only prioritize dine-in customers and ignore their online and pickup orders. Please choose somewhere else to eat.

Avoid this place!!!! The restaurant takes advantages of customers!!!! They sneakily overcharged you: we ordered fish, the price was ‘sp’ on the menu . they didn’t tell us the single price and the pounds of the fish and it was not until we saw the check that we realized the fish was an insane and definitely overcharged $150. They claimed the fish to be $39.99 per pound and it was 3 and 1/8 pounds. First I don’t think it was 3 1/8 pounds. Second how can the fish can be as of this price at all when their king crab was claimed to be $35/pound and other places priced fish at around $22-25/pound ? Also, they don’t have a printed version of the check and receipt so you would not know at all if they raise up the price by thinking they could take advantage of you. Run please run away from this place
