One of the most authentic Chinese restaurants I've been to! I was a bit taken aback by the price at first but it was worth it. I recommend the mushroom dish and fish in copper pot!

We looked forward to coming because this restaurant is strongly recommended by friends. We found the interior pleasant and the service courteous but the food does not live up to the price tag. The "cross-bridge rice noodle" uses a lot of substitute ingredients such as bell peppers, fish tofu, and yes, SPAM. I'd be okay with that if they charged 10, not 15 dollars. The portion is pretty large, but that doesn't do it for me. Additionally, the service staff should at least wear consistent matching attire to make the place look more professional. We spent almost $50 after tax and tip for a bowl of noodles , a fried rice, and a tofu appetizer with no drinks. Even with the gift escargot and yorgot it's too much. Edit: I appreciate the owner's response and I felt better about my purchase. My suggestion is that if you wish to be a upscale restaurant with original and high quality food then do not compromise on 1. utensils (the spoon I used had peeling chrome paint) 2. service staff training and attire, 3. menus (lots of scotch tape and permanent marker will not help) 4. ingredients, no SPAM. 5. Environment, remove clutter (kitchen supplies should not appear in the dining room). If you have a consistent upscale appearance, then you can charge $25 for a bowl of noodles and I will pay for it and treat it as a romantic night out. Appearance is reality. Right now, you are not compromising on your soup but you are compromising on plenty else.
