The Honest Review The Honest Review May 2026

This place is definitely a place to go to. Been here a few times and every time it does not disappoint. Friendly, good service and clean. We enjoyed the salt and pepper smelt (so good), walnut shrimp, eggplant casserole, half a duck and vegetable chow mein.

Food was really good! We had the garlic seafood fried rice and crispy fried chicken. The flavors were amazing. I wasn't a fan of the popcorn shrimp and baby scallops and we opted to not include the squid. Although it appeared and taste fresh, just not my type. I wished they offered a veggie garlic fried rice instead. The jasmine bubble tea with lychee was very refreshing. Oh the crab Rangoon was very well made and taste good too. The staff was friendly, and they also validate parking. We ended up paying $3 for parking. I would definitely God back again.

Delicious food at good prices and great portion size. Tea and rice are included and no additional charge. We enjoyed it so much that we went back another time during our trip. Giant clams with garlic and vermicelli noodles at $10 each, super delicious. Salt and pepper shrimp cooked to perfection. Steak with garlic and onion was tender and delicious. Fish fillet with tofu casserole was the favorite item of the night. Service was friendly, attentive and super efficient! The decor is simple, the bathroom was clean. Most importantly the food was fantastic!

Very fresh seafood with great friendly service. My friend and I loved everything we ordered. The veggie is super fresh and so is the fish. You can pay ten extra dollars to get the fish cooked in two ways, a soup and a steamed dish. I loved the soup because how delicious it is with the silken tofu. Only thing is the fish has lots of bones so just be careful. Will def recommend!
