Had a quick lunch of shu Mai, Har gow and some pan fried item they recommend. Dumplings were already hot and came out instantly. Really really good flavor and the shu Mai had pork and mushroom with fish eggs on top. It looked a little weirder than ones I've had before but they were excellent. Har gow flavor was great too.

The food was really good here. I don't remember this dish name, but it was the best pork dish ever!

Chinese restaurant along Kapiolani Avenue. The food is good but a little highly priced, we ordered the roasted pigeon and fried rice along with a bitter melon and beef stir fry. The garlic steamed oysters were delicious as well. I think due to the language barrier there was miscommunication and we weren't served one of our steamed fish dishes. All in all a good restaurant but be prepared to pay a high price tag on some of the foods.

Amazing food served here! Price is definitely fair and portion is relatively good size too. Ordered bbq roasted pork, the best sweet and sour pork, seafood soup and steamed fish fillet. Everything was prepared so well and all of us enjoyed the meal tremendously. Parking was a little challenging but luckily we could park on roadside after 730pm. I strongly recommended this place!

Over all a good experience. Definitely would recommend. Coming from a picky eater because I grew up eating great food and am a cook myself. Food was over all good except for the vegetables dish (Ong Chai) was a bit hard. I think the noodles could have used a little bit more soy, was a bit toward bland side, I got some sharp tongue kids too, they thought it was a bit bland too. Service could have been better. Maybe because we try skipping the dinner crowd and it was also the worker’s dinner time. I think they realized they were a bit lacking in that aspect and try making up for it afterwards. I appreciated that. I would recommend this place for anyone interested in good chinese food. Over all a good experience!

The parking for the restaurant is decent since parking is in the back of the restaurant. The dining area is a decent size and the decor is fine. The service was pretty good. The food was very good. Need to verify over the phone if duck or any other barbecue owns are available.
