5-stars for Kery! She was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, engaging in conversation, and attentive with the food service. I don’t expect much from service at a Chinese restaurant, but she would have been exceptional anywhere! The food itself was a bit above average and a good price.

Have you ever had really high quality 80's Cantonese cuisine in Hong Kong or the old San Francisco Chinatown/Peninsula before the Loma Prieta earthquake? This restaurant is that gold standard quality. They can cook up a storm!...if you've seen Stephen Chow's movie, "The God of Cookery"? You get a tear after a bite like that ending scene with that judge because you remember how good food is supposed to taste like. This restaurant has an incredible chef with cutting skills like that movie. Ask Paul the new owner to order you the banquet style sliced ham perfectly cut chicken dish and you will know what I mean about this chef' s cuttery skills as in like "The God of Cookery". Just to be clear I'm not a cook nor in the restaurant biz; I was a biopharma R&D Chemist, then Forensic Scientist, then Pharma Quality Management. I'm a tough critic when it comes to Hk-Canto food of being quality or not. I can't stand bad food. This restaurant from the first to the last dish on both dinner occasions we visited were superb; just like the golden era days of the past. Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Jet Li movies. Ingredients procurement to preparation were all A++. They have a lot of celebrities that frequent here too to taste traditional authentic HK/Canto-food.
