   Food was wonderful. Waitstaff seemed to be a bit short on people. Once we were able to order and request things it was ok but sometimes it was difficult to get someone’s attention

   The crab so delicious and fresh. Service was impeccable. Every item we ordered was so delicious. Highly recommend the garlic crab with a glass of wine. Make a reservation the place fills up quickly.

   Fuimos a la cena de Thanksgiving y estaba lleno. Aún con reservación tuvimos que esperar por la mesa. Llegó un grupo de 6 después de nosotros (2) y llegaron tarde a su reservación. Pues les asignaron mesa antes para juntar dos mesas y no darnos la mesa libre a nosotros. El área de espera es la puerta. Parados dentro o fuera. Son como 12-15 mesas, pero al menos 3 son para 10-12 personas. Grupos grandes. La comida es muy buena. Pedimos el paquete para dos, realmente rico. A mi novio no le gusta la comida oriental ni el ajo, pero me llevó para consentirme… y la comida le gustó mucho. Vale la pena. Pero con un mesero y dos ayudantes para los casi 80 comensales que caben es muy poco. Los meseros no están uniformados, parece ser negocio familiar y “alguien” vino a “ayudar”. Los baños están sucios porque no hay personal que limpie. El área de “escamoche” de platos es justo afuera de los baños, es un tiradero, parece que entras a la cocina. Entonces… si son piki para el servicio o van poco tolerantes, no vayan. Pero si son foodies, no debe perdérselo.

   The five spice chicken had to have been the first one I've ever had. It was almost a of they took an old one and refried it to reheat it. Terrible. The crab singer did two was fine. Garlic noodles were good. Service was friendly

   The food was good except for the soup, too watery. Everything was tasty especially their specialty crab. We had the baked butter crab. Its presentation looked good but it would be nicer if the crab shell could be pre-cracked.

    DELICIOUS! The crab, noodles, vegs, everything was delicious. This is the place to go for delicious and fresh crab in all kinds of forms. But be warned: they serve the kind of crab dishes you can only eat with your hands! Also, the service was ummm ... we were the only non-Asians and we were attended to last. We had to ask for something to drink while we waited, and the box of wet wipes they put on the table did nothing to remove the smell of crab after eating. Go, just don't wear anything fancy.

    Horrible Service. We have been here several times and always enjoyed and had a good experience. This time we invited out of town family from Hawaii to treat the. To something special. While the hood was still spot on, the service was horrible. Every table around us received a shell bowl, crackers, bibs, and a tub of baby wipes. We had to ask for every single item. On top of that, one of our appetizers were sold out and no one bothered to tell us. When we finally asked about it after a long wait, the server said oh, it’s sold out and just walked away. Price for the crab also went up so it really isn’t worth it anymore especially with poor service. Would not recommend.

    Fan-freakin-tastic! Garlic butter noodles with roasted garlic sauce was awesome, crab was good and peppercorn wings were all pleasant goodness! Do not forget about the imperial rolls and, by the way, I will not look at chicken salad the same way again. This is the real deal. The reviews are accurate.

    Egg yolk crab is a must buy. Even non crab dishes, like garlic noodles, are huge winners. Kid friendly especially at early dining hours

    The crab is unbelievably good...we had absolutely nothing left on our plates and nothing to take home. We ordered the steamed crab, garlic crab and peppercorn crab. The peppercorn crab is lightly fried and was our favorite. Also had the papaya salad, crab dumplings, salted egg shrimp, crab fried rice - all superb. Service was excellent and the nice lady was there to clear out our plates and take care of all our needs. When it gets crowded, it is very loud inside - would help if they had more sound absorbing materials. The crab is pricey, so be prepared - but it's worth it.

    We were there for an early dinner at around 4:30pm so . We had a set menu for four. There was enough food, but the set menu doesn't provide more crab for more people. They just add more dishes. The flavor is very mild. We had the peppercorn crab and it was cooked well, but not much peppercorn. So if you like stronger flavor, you will need to tell them when you order. The sea bass was very tender and just a hint of light soy sauce, which worked for this dish.

    Awesome roasted garlic crab. Shaken beef, salt and pepper chicken wing, egg plant and imperial roll are all delicious as well. The hot and sour soup is luke warm, a bit disappointed. The salty egg crab is good but roasted garlic version wins overall.

    We ordered the two person menu but thanks to their flexibility, swapped out the cabbage salad for papaya salad and roast for steamed crab. The papaya salad was perfectly balanced and crunchy. The garlic noodles had a strong butter and garlic profile. I couldn't take it but my husband loved it. The crab was cracked strategically for novice crab eaters. Our complaint is that there wasn't enough ginger in the ginger and wine steamed crab. We did however enjoy our meal and the service is friendly and helpful.

    Overall the restaurant was ok, except I was a bit disappointed on the crab. Since the restaurant is specialized on crab and even printed on the menu that they served the finest/freshness crab, I expected very good quality. However I believed the crab was not fresh.

    Food was delicious! Service was great. The servers were nice and checked in on us frequently. We had the shaking beef and it was tender. The roasted crab is always my go to, messy but worth it. Pour that sauce on all my rice! Haha! The salted egg prawns, spicy eggplant and the steamed sea bass were delicious as well as cooked beautifully! The only thing is that it was a bit drafty but could be for the ventilation. Other than that, I high recommend this place!
