Came here a few months ago upon the recommendation of a neighbor to try the garlic crab (market price). It was expensive, but man, it was incredible! The garlic sauce was just right and amazingly tasty! We also got som tum papaya salad and it came with crunchy pork rinds which were delicious. The Thai iced tea was also good, not too sweet but just enough. This place is open late, and the food is honestly solid. If youre looking for some good Asian fair, this place has it.

Great spot for a late meal. After arriving in SFO late in the evening, my wife and I were looking for a nice spot to get dinner. The restaurant was easy to find and within a short drive from the airport. The staff was very nice even with us arriving minutes before the kitchen closed. The potstickers were excellent; great texture and flavorful filling. The spring rolls were light, crispy, and most importantly tasty. I had the Pad Thai. I loved that it came with potions of spices and seasonings on the side to customize the dish to your taste. My wife had the beef chow mien. It was delicious; the beef was well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were generous and our leftovers were appreciated during our travels.

Came on a Friday night during their opening period, no one else really there.The decor is a study in collision. On one hand you have the trappings of a traditional Chinese restaurant, like the porcelain tea cups and pot. On the other hand youre in a bar with plush seats, pumping dance music, with only a fork for setting and no chopsticks.The food is not faultless, but they are promising. The fried oyster is done well, crispy outside and juicy inside. The Dungeness crab salad is quite fresh and tasty, but the dressing is a bit much... wouldve liked it on the side instead of mixed in already. The chili noodle is quite refreshing but wouldve like it spicier.Their menu can use more work to include more appetizers that go well with alcohol. All in all I think the restaurant has promise.

They need to advertise that they are no longer operating under the same management, the menu items have changed. I spoke to the waitress who was very nice and gave pretty good service. The food was very good. I’d recommend the mixed combination butter garlic rice, the tom yum soup as well cause it was the best i’d tasted. The beef rendang was great, would recommend also. The fried calamari was subpar to what i was expecting; had an artificial frozen store food taste to it; i would not get that again. Would come back again.

Not sure if the prices are accurate on here because after ordering only the vegetable spring roll, 8.95Coconut shrimp 12.95Pineapple chicken and rice 16.95salt and pepper pork 17.95fried banana ice cream 10.95×3And a vegetable dish 17.95,Our bill came to $141+They originally charged us for Mongolian beef which we DID order but never received and made like theyd removed it from the bill (I didnt unfortunately notice whether the price had actually changed, but $141 was the final amount - this is without drinks nor tips, yet - they got 18%, totally $166+).I came to get dinner here because there didnt appear to be any horribly negative reviews, but Im a bit wary now from my own experience.By the way, I was trying to be polite when I noticed the waitstaff appeared to be eating, so I didnt ask for the Mongolian beef theyd forgotten and also didnt bother to order more of a few appetizers my party enjoyed because of observing this. It was a bit strange that a hostess(?) told me she didnt work there and yet she seemed to be the primary one serving us and even checking on how were doing [before she settled down to eat/hang out with the (other) staff].And finally, before wed finished eating the main course food, it was cleared away. Granted Id already ordered dessert, since an alternate waitress asked my mom if she wanted dessert (right after I asked for a second helping for coconut shrimp, which was basically ignored, but smoothly bypassed by this waitress when my mothers interest in the opportunity for dessert was piqued). Still this seemed like rushed service, like a way to get us out the door and on our way.

Egg rolls are frozen and lazily cooked, I know bc it was popsicle cold in the middle. After sending those back, the vegetable fried rice was NOT what you’d expect white rice with vegetables, no brown tint with soy sauce, garbage. And the main dish Mongolian chicken, the chicken was RAW. Piña colada was cream was curdling. I’d only go here to get drunk off bottled beer bc it’s the one thing you can’t mess up. I’d give the service 5 stars if she took off the food charges but charged me for the rice. I should’ve just paid for drinks and left.

I like the menu, I hade the whole fish with ginger $45.00, it was a huge sea bass, delicious and enough for three people, I also order the chicken Chow Mein and it didn’t disappoint. Good service and big screen TV, my next visit I will order the fresh crab, it can be cooked several ways including my favorite salt and pepper. The hot oil has a unique flavor I think is made with dry shrimp paste. Celandine bathrooms. Open at the evening only.

Truly the finest Asian food I’ve ever had. Even better than most places I have eaten at in Asia. Awesome service, very healthy options available with good drinks also.
