What to Order
Lobster Tower
A dramatic, towering masterpiece of crispy lobster, golden fries, garlic, and fried seafood piled high and crowned with fresh shredded cabbage.
"The lobster tower was amazing (every table has one) -I do wish there were more fries in this particular one."

Garlic Style Lobster
Fresh lobster prepared with a savory garlic sauce, often served with french fries and crunchy garlic bits.
"The garlic style lobster was the best tasting with french fries and crunchy garlic bits."
Alice Xu
Dry Aged Steak
High-quality, deeply flavorful steak, often well-charred on the outside and properly rested, served with a rich buttery sauce and roasted garlic.
"The dry aged steak was a standout! Deeply flavorful, well-charred on the outside, and properly rested. Not something you expect to find executed this well in a Chinese seafood restaurant, but it absolutely held its own."

Sweet and Sour Pork
A surprisingly well-executed classic, offering a delicious balance of sweet and sour flavors.
"I actually quite liked the sweet and sour pork (we added this on) and the ribs (also added this on)."
Emily Liu
Chinese-style Soup with Half Chicken
A rich, slow-simmered, and comforting soup with traditional depth from long-hour boiling.
"The Chinese-style soup with half chicken was another highlight. Rich, slow-simmered, and comforting, it had that traditional depth you only get from proper long-hour boiling. Clean, nourishing, and very satisfying."

Grilled Garlic Spare Ribs
Fragrant, well-balanced, smoky, and savory ribs with a noticeable garlic flavor that doesn't overpower the meat.
"The grilled garlic spare ribs were fragrant, well-balanced, smoky & savory. The garlic came through nicely without overpowering the meat."
