What to Order
Lobster E-Fu Noodle
A signature dish featuring fresh lobster served atop a bed of E-Fu noodles, though some find the sauce can be a bit excessive.
"The lobster and king crab dishes were visually impressive and met expectations in terms of taste. Honestly, we had no complaints about the food — everything was good and prepared well."
Calvin Duong (The Goods)
Dry Aged Steak
Surprisingly well-executed steak, often served medium-rare on a sizzling plate, allowing it to cook to perfection at the table.
"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."

Chinese-style soup with half chicken
A rich, slow-simmered soup with traditional depth, offering a comforting and nourishing experience.
"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 and well-balanced spare ribs, smoky and savory with a pleasant garlic flavor that doesn't overwhelm the meat.
"The grilled garlic spare ribs were fragrant, well-balanced, smoky & savory. The garlic came through nicely without overpowering the meat."

Vancouver Crab Legs
Fresh and well-prepared crab legs, often part of set meals and highly recommended for their quality.
"Recommend the Vancouver Crab legs, steak and lobster tower. Good selection of vintage French wines and drinks as well. Presentation is good and portions are great to feed any group size."
Jacob Hong
BBQ Pig
A standout dish beyond the typical lobster and crab offerings, praised for its quality.
"Lobster and crab are in general fair. More outstanding I would say is the bbq pig and the steam fish. Services are not bad."
Kelvin A
Steamed Fish
Fresh and perfectly cooked, often sea bass, highlighting the restaurant's seafood expertise.
"The sea bass was fresh and cooked perfectly. If you like good seafood this is a great choice."

Inside Scoop
- Reservations, especially for large groups or holidays, are highly recommended but may not guarantee immediate seating due to overbooking.
- The restaurant can be very noisy, particularly during busy periods, so it's not ideal for a quiet meal.
- Service can be inconsistent; be prepared to flag down staff, especially for larger tables or during peak hours.
- Tea is served in small pots with a large carafe of hot water for easy dilution, and there's a per-person charge for tea.
- The restaurant is known for its high-end appearance and food presentation, but service may not always match the upscale ambiance.
