    Not a bad place to go for fancy Chinese food. We order a salted egg crab, which is one of the best dish, it had just enough flavoring . The vegetable and other dishes were very small potions . I love egg plants, but this time this dish was not as good. It tasted like I order from Panda Express . Overall, I like the service but the food is OK I will come back for the ambience and a few dishes they have.

    Everything was fine except for one thing. The food and service were good, but for some reason, even though there was only one other table of customers in the restaurant at the time, they sat us right next to them, and then sat the next group, a large party of eight on the other side of us, when we had clearly asked for a quiet table so we could conduct business.

    I was interested in trying this place. The location is nice, the ambiance is nice, the service is good. We came for dinner, I would be interested in trying it for Dim Sum. There was a mix of Chinese people as well as nonChinese people. The place was pretty busy at dinner on a Saturday evening. We ordered several dishes, peking duck fried calamari, garlic seafood noodles, spicy pork dish. I would say the peking duck was good, but was disappointed with the garlic noodles. The rest of the food was average. It's an above average environment for Chinese food, there are white table cloths. Typical dishes were around $25 each.

    Service was okay I had better service at Koi or HL. Food was 3/5 at best. Chicken wing was Chinese fast food quality. Soup dumplings were best thing on the menu. Peking duck tasted kind of weird.

    Once a dim sum experience but of late it seems the austere ambience much like a coffee shop look with waiters and waitresses dressed in hoodies does not reflect the high prices charged for dim sum one can easily get in Chinatown. The bows remain their high point. Rest of dishes did not stand out like before. Food came out just warm. Disappointed

    Though had a reservation we waited half an hour for table and after being seated for 10 minutes was asked to move to a different table so they could accommodate a different party. Waited another half hour for them to take our order. Peking duck was not good despite being their signature dish. Skin was steamed. Rice showed up 20 minutes after entree and only after reminding them that we ordered it. Meat was like warm at best. Side of vegetables showed up another 10 minutes later. Food overall was unremarkable. Servers were definitely busy but total chaos in there. Struggling to understand why they are so packed.

    Great place for some comfort Chinese food in downtown San Francisco. The BBQ duck was a bit greasy, but everything else was spectacular.

    Service in terms of attentiveness is poor. The food and ambience is above average. There is probably better food at a cheaper price out in China town but if you want a safe but a little pricey experience, this is the place.
