Cantonese approved authentic restaurant!
The Singapore char siu reminds me of a famous dish back in hometown and it’s the closest I can find in the state at Kue’s. I love the tenderness and not oily fat part, which is very rare and hard to find in pork dishes.
Love the taishan style eel clay pot rice too, very big portions, we usually order when we just got to the restaurant because it takes a longer time to cook.
House chicken salad is not bad, i think it’s a bit fusion with the pickled ginger.
Sui chow king is another one that i like, especially the deep fried tarot with a lot of dried fish.
The servers are nice, they would help mixing and serving rices, soups etc.

The chicken salad was too oily. The BBQ pork and sweet and sour pork were too sweet. The soup was decent. The fried rice I ordered took forever to come; I was almost done eating when it was finally served. The manager seemed to be chatting with his friends at another table rather than coming to every table to ask how the food was.

After studying the menu, I had doubts about the authenticity of the food here, and my experience confirmed it.

1. The eel pot rice was a disaster. The eel had an overpowering wine flavor that made it taste bitter. I had to spit it out.
2. The BBQ pork, a staple of Chinese cuisine, was overcooked and chewy. It leaned slightly sweet, which was acceptable but not impressive.
3. The salted egg yolk shrimp was the only highlight (sadly). It had a good balanced of salty and umami flavors. The shrimp were fresh and perfectly cooked.

The atmosphere was confusing. The booths and tables suggested a more high-end vibe, but the bar and loud music felt out of place. Servers were attentive and replaced our plates promptly.

Overall, this restaurant isn’t the place for good authentic Chinese food.

Reverse happy hour is my go-to time for this spot. Food is good, but I feel like it’s a few bucks overpriced, but I grew up in the area and prices are getting expensive everywhere so maybe I’m just being old thinking about old price points for the cuisine. Playlist is always enjoyable and never too loud. Good place to watch some sports casually. Staff is nice. Reverse happy hour prices are decent, though. Brussel sprouts and garlic noodles are always ordered when I’m there.

The food is great! The mala chicken was chewy with a little kick. Watercress with fish cake was aromatic. The fish cake was fresh and chewy. The coconut soup had black chicken and fragrant of coconut water. The servers were very polite and attentive. And they have their own parking. Overall a great experience! Highly recommended

I went to this restaurant on a Sunday after I conveniently saw it across from Alhambra’s farmer’s market. I ate lunch here, but the restaurant is typically open weekday evenings. At first impression, the restaurant had a bit of an upscale ambiance. The food is a little pricey, and I admittedly feel like I could get the same dishes for a lower price or bigger portions elsewhere, but the ingredients taste fresh.

I got the crispy calamari, Dongpo pork belly, and the eggplant salted fish claypot. I found the Dongpo pork belly to be incredibly tender, although the cut of meat was too fatty for me. I ate the pork belly with rice and it still felt too oily and was difficult to eat for my own tastes, although some might like the texture and flavors. To be honest, the restaurant’s food did not stand out to me. My lunch total, with drinks and rice, came out to a total of about $81. Good overall service and decent food.

We were curious to try this new Chinese restaurant open 3 weeks ago. We like the outdoor seating with our dog. The waiter was very nice to turn on the heater for us. Overall the food was delicious.
I took a star away because I was disappointed that they added the big bean sprout with the big yellow bean (大豆芽菜) to the Beef Chow Fun. It is kind of ruined the authentic Beef Chow Fun of its texture and taste. Otherwise the Beef Chow Fun was good and well seasoned with the wok flavor. It’s quite pricey for lunch.

Went opening day and I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re still fine tuning things but overall the dishes we ordered were ok. Perhaps we ordered the wrong ones.

Food
For the price, nothing we ordered stood out as a must have dish that I recommend. Fried tofu was good but salty. Chicken wings could’ve been crispier (though I came late so maybe it softened a bit), sweet and sour pork was crispy but a bit too sweet for my liking and couldn’t really taste the pork. Fried rice was a generous portion but didn’t try that. Sauteed choy sum with fried pork was probably my favorite dish. We all felt like dishes were on the saltier side and probably why we drank so much water.

Ambiance
Modern take on a Cantonese restaurant with vibey music playing in the background. A bit confusing to see wooden chopsticks being used but maybe it’s temporary.

Service
Extremely attentive staff and water was constantly being refilled. Plates were removed promptly if empty.

Price
Main dishes were concentrated on the $20-30 range but went up to $40+. All live seafood sold at market price. The most expensive dish is the abalone at $158/198

Parking
Dedicated lot

Went there for dinner with the family. Love the food here. My favorite is the squab, bbq pork and the claypot rice. Super crispy rice on the bottom of the pot. Definitely a place i will go back with my family.

Excellent experience from the moment we walked in. The staff greeted us with warm smiles and even acknowledged our reservation by name, a thoughtful surprise that made us feel genuinely welcomed. Service was friendly, attentive, and full of small but meaningful touches. They even helped hold the door for my elderly parents, which we truly appreciated. As an added surprise, they brought out a complimentary dessert for my dad’s birthday. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. It’s rare to find a place that nails both service and food so perfectly. We’ll definitely be coming back.
