I can not help writing this review after a terrible dinner last night at this restaurant, which is considered as one of the few authentic Cantonese restaurants in town. Not any longer. To be fair, my previous experience at that place was pretty good. I am a guy who cares about the food itself, not the service. I took a newly-wed couple originally from Hong Kong to have dinner there. For six people with a total bill of over $170 including the tip, it was not cheap. However, none of the dishes we ordered had any taste. Two lobsters were bland and dry and my wife suspected they were dead ones. My 8-year-old son was about to cry after he tasted the steamed sole fish, $26.50, he ordered. (He loved the same dish at the Yummy Restaurant two weeks earlier.) It was hard and fishy. I believed it was steamed while still frozen. The sauce was terrible. My guest asked the waiter to take back the beef casserole because the radish tasted bad. The seafood soup had too much MSG in it. The beef steak was too salty and not tender. The scallop with vegetable was tasteless. The only dish I could give an okay rating was green bean sprouts. It does not take much culinary skills to cook it. My guest asked the waiter whether the restaurant had changed the management or chef. The answer was 'No'. It was my last time to be there. (I drove 25 miles from the east side of town to have such a depressing dinner.) Most definitely, I am not going to recommend it to anyone. It is a simple fact, no hard feelings about the restaurant itself.
