We ordered the beef with Chinese gailan and the beef was very tender rivalling the steaks served in great steakhouses. The fried filet of sole was crispy and fresh. The white cut chicken moist and tender. Price is quite reasonable too. The place is modestly decorated and the service was adequate. Parking is plentiful right outside the restaurant. Come here for the excellent food at a reasonable price but don't expect obsequious servers.

FOOD: The food at this unassuming hole-in-the-wall was rather appetizing. We particularly enjoyed the rock cod fillet and the scrambled egg shrimp. SERVICE: The service here was solid. Our waiter was cordial, efficient, and cheerful.PRICE: The price was very reasonable. Our bill averaged out to around $8 per person. Cash only.

Chinese Dim Sum and Seafood restaurant. We're only one in the bay area served all day dim sum, over 100 different items. Fresh and hand made, cooks when you order. Steamed seafood at the dinner time, served live lobster, crab, geoduck and sea clam.

Eight adults came for dinner on a Monday night. We asked for a quiet table so we could talk but were placed next to children playing very loudly. Thankfully they left after packing up their leftovers. All guests were seated in central area outside kitchen.The waiter that served us could barely speak English. So I ended up translating for my host in Cantonese.Since this is a seafood place, we tried to order seafood. Our host went to check on the "Fresh fish in the tank" but they looked pathetic and listless, so we skipped that. The waiter kept pushing river prawns as special of the day, how it was $25 here but the store was selling them at $28! My host wanted wasabi prawns, which they do not cook. We compromised on salt and pepper prawns but the taste and texture were mediocre, not fresh.We wanted to order scallops with asparagus- a fairly common dish. They only had scallops in the shell at $10 per piece so we skipped that.The Peking duck (skin and drum sticks) was good, as was the side dish( rest of duck with tofu. The beef with mix of mushrooms was ok, too thickly covered with caramelized hoisin sauce. To miao or young pea shoots were not young or tender but they were cooked nicely with a little garlic.The soup with real crab meat was a disappointment, it had something crunchy in it we could not quite identify. And as soon as it cooled down a little it tasted very fishy!I was someone's guest so no complains from me there and then but I would not consider this a good seafood restaurant.

My friend and I are pleased to have discovered Andy's. Our chicken dish featured fresh chinese broccoli in a nice sauce. Sizzling rice seafood soup was a tasty treat. Both recommended. Prices very reasonable and include a pot of jasmine tea! Although decor isn't great, the menu is very extensive and you're likely to enjoy whatever you select.

Some of our friends referred this restaurant to us. It's actually a part of Lucky Chances Casino. This is our second time to have lunch, the first experienced there was very good. The second time around, my husband ordered for a Philly Steak Sandwich. Because we'd tried this kind of sandwich in other restaurants where they were really good, this one he wasn't impressed at all because there were only 3 slices of beef in the sandwich. The supervisor gave us an appeasement for this problem when my husband complained about it.When my husband was paying for our bill, the cashier never talked to him about this problem instead she just kept on talking to her supervisor. We did not encounter any problem with the server, she was even apologetic about it.There were three of us,we are from Reno and they just gave us a bad impression for not giving us an excellent customer service attitude.

I had some misgivings about this place when I agreed to come with a bunch of my wife's friends for lunch. This is a huge place that easily accommodated our group of 10 people. The food is all served buffet style, and the selection has to be seen to be believed. We started with sushi and some dim sum dumplings before moving on to shrimp (several different kinds), chicken (ditto), and noodles (ditto again). You get the picture.Frankly, I found most of the dishes mediocre. The pot stickers, for example, were doughy and suffered from sitting around on the steam table. This is a very popular place for lunch, particularly among the elder component of the population. Lots of gray hair.The table service, consisting of water, tea, and cleanup, was superb. I discovered more tea in my cup without asking and wondered when that happened.The price of this feast is certainly reasonable. Each share came to $18, complete with tip, after rounding up. Not bad for enough to last for quite a while.So long as you know what to expect, you'll enjoy this place.

As always the place is like a zoo. As soon as it opens, a lot of people are already waiting. Unless you know someone inside which a lot of patrons do, they get special treatments and bypass the long line which makes waiting even longer and UNFAIR. I donât like coming because of that. Luckily we have a friend that knows someone inside. Food is still good. Worth coming (if youâre patient!), but waiting for 2 hours, youâd be the judge and find out. Service is HORRIBLE! Getting someoneâs attention is another big problem. Getting your request fulfilled is another matter that the management needs to improve upon. Donât hold your breath, it wonât improve. When requesting a glass of water plus other things, a lot of times the waiters walk away without listening to your entire sentences, thus, you end up requesting multiple times. Donât come here if youâre not patient.
