All dishes are spicy, the restaurant is consistently busy, and cook times can vary— stop the complaining. That said, the food is traditional, authentic, and flavorful. The sliced beef combo in spicy sauce is my wife’s favorite, while I particularly enjoyed their take on the ribs. The sautéed frog, however, was our least favorite dish. Recommended (for spicey aficionados)

Each dish was unnecessarily spicy/hot, and it wasn’t indicated as spicy on the menu. My buddy and I ordered two dishes, first dish was served after 10 mins upon ordering, it took another 25 mins for the second dish to be served. We had to ask if they forgot about our second dish. Place is loud, and food is expensive for the portions.

Every dish was delicious! The spicy and numb levels might not be high enough for someone hardcore, but it was perfect for us to enjoy the flavor in the food. There is enough people that you know it’s a great restaurant, but not so crowded and popular that you had to wait a long time to get in. The waiter was very considerate and offered to bring forks when the kids were discussing the right way of holding chopsticks. Have so many dishes that we’d like to try, so will definitely return when we come to the Bay Area next time!

The wait was minimal.
The staff were very friendly and the food came super fast. All the dishes we ordered were rich in flavor, especially the intestines, which was crunchy and full of texture!!
Something to watch out for is the food can be very spicy so make sure to order according to your spice tolerance.

We arrived at 5:30pm on a Monday. No wait to be seated. Lots of menu options. Food was good and service OK. Price was reasonable.

Delicious food. Got the spicy fish with picked veggies, steamed pork, and a pork appetizer. All very good. However, they ran out of a dish we ordered about 30 min after the first dish was served. A bit disappointing there. May come back or just order takeout, as the service is quite bad.

There are several dishes made me WOW. The downside is that all dishes are very salty and oily, and many tasted the same…
Price is high, but portion is also BIG.
I would only list the dishes catered to my taste. (Not exactly mapping to photos)
The best dishes are: taro stew with chicken, fish maw in chilly oil, pepper grilled pork intestine, twice cooked pork slices.
4-6 people could feast well on those with rice.
The restaurant is extremely busy on weekends. Making a reservation via phone is recommended!

The stir-fry dishes taste pretty fresh, and I would happily give them five stars for the food alone. However, the wait time can be quite long. I came in pretty hungry, and my first dish didn’t arrive until about 45 minutes after ordering—I was almost ready to pass out by then.

The food tastes good, but the portions are very small, and it feels overpriced overall.

The service was great and the servers were very helpful with any questions we had.
Each serving of rice was literally two bowls worth (see picture).
The food very good.
