General Notes
Really solid restaurant for more southern-Chinese esque food. What distinguishes this place is the freshness of their seafood -- you can definitely taste the difference in some of their lighter preparations, such as steamed whole fish, clams with egg custard, and ginger scallion crab. Good service, excellent food, it's for good reason that there are long lines out of this restaurant (it was super packed on a random Tuesday!)
Dishes Tasted
- ★★★★ 清炒豆苗
- ★★★★ 干煸四季豆 -- slightly spicy, so delicious!
- ★★★☆ 菜片海鲜松 -- stir fried minced scallops, prawns, Chinese sausage, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and pine nuts, served with lettuce wraps. This is delicious! All the components work together really well.
- ★☆☆☆ Sea Cucumber with Ginger + Scallions -- I'm personally not a huge fan of sea cucumbers, and the flavor of this felt a little odd. But the sea cucumber was remarkably tender.
- ★★★☆ 清蒸鱼 -- i think we got the sea bass -- well-cooked, flavorful, overall delightful!
- ★★★★ 鲜贝蒸水蛋 -- steamed live clams with beaten eggs. I've never had this dish before but this dish was FANTASTIC. Clams were large, fresh, and flavorful. The eggs had an excellent consistency, and the flavor of all the components just worked so well together.
- ★★★☆ Ginger & Garlic Crab -- flavorful and well-cooked! I was afraid that the flavor wouldn't permeate the crab very much, but I was surprised!
- ★★☆☆ 北京片皮鸭 -- Pretty solid but the fact that this was literally just the skin was ... a bit disappointing.
- ★★★☆ 孜然炒羊肉 -- tender slices of lamb sauteed with vegetables and cumin. Tender, flavorful, and really well cooked overall.
