Although you can sit and eat inside i have never done that. I love buying my perfectly roasted pork belly here its is perfectly crispy on top buy it by the pound due to the economic upturn it has become much mor expensive but soo worth it!!!Parking: There is always available parking in the small shopping center

I read a review of this restaurant at the beginning of the pandemic in San Francisco several years ago.Their specialty is the crispy roast pork belly and I would give it 5 stars hands down if you buy it as a take out.They will give you a better cut.I bought a take out during my initial visit and it was great.My family I ate it in the car ? and it was memorable.I couldn't wait for the follow up visit.This time they were open for dine in.We made the mistake and ate there.The menu said free soup and free rice with the entrée.No soup or rice served on the day we went.It didn't matter but the waiter said we had to pay for the rice as it was no longer free.We asked for a bowl ? and it came with the 2 entrées we ordered, roast duck and double portion of crispy roast pork belly.It came and the duck was tuff and the meat of the pork belly was drier than the bottom of my shoe.It was miserable so don't dine in.They were extremely busy at the lunch hour and the waiter was extremely rude.Prior to us getting the entrées I ordered 2 pork belly lunches to go.Having had the bad experience with the dine-in, I was going to refuse the take outs.Fortunate for me I opened the boxes to check.The pork belly was fresh and the portion was more than the entrée and included rice and bok choy.Not bad for $11.99 as opposed to $16.99 for the double portion of pork belly without rice.I'm not saying I will not return.I will go there from now on and take out.I'm hoping post pandemic that they will improve on their in-dining customer service.The ratings from above are for now.

Very delicious home style cooking. The salty fish fried rice is a must, we didn't get a chance to try their roast duck since they sold out but their roast pork is also a must. Maybe next time we will have the chance to try their roast duck. My wife also really enjoy the black bean with squid dish.

Authentic Chinese food especially their crispy pork belly! If you want something good and quick, this is the place for you to consider. Service is okay.

This place saves me on Thanksgiving! I always did my own turkey until I starting ordering this one a week before Thanksgiving. It's excellent and comes with rice and you can get fried pork too! I do all my normal sides and this turkey doesn't disappoint! It's moist and tasty and I can focus on the sides and have a relaxing Thanksgiving. Delicious!
