HONG KONG RESTAURANT REVIEWS

YES YES AND YES!! I come here all the time with my Mom, The BBQ pork is cooked in house and ALWAYS FRESH!!! The Chow Sai Fun under the "Authentic Chinese" is always amazing! I always order it with extra veggies, and have left overs for dinner. The Chow yuk is incredible as well (get it with rice)! Lots of sauce! This is hands down the best american chinese food restaurant in Tacoma. I've brought friends who have been to China several times for work here for before, and even they are impressed. It's not in the best of area, but the riff raff stays out of the place and the parking lot is safe. Don't be shy! Come check this place out! Also try the Wonton Soup. INCREDIBLE.

Took my family of four here for dinner tonight. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Clean, with a charming atmosphere, great service, generous portions and the food was good. We'll be back. We like to support local and family businesses.

Just like the old days of family dinners. They don't skimp on portions. The honey walnut shrimp is good. Not the best, but good. Everything else right on the mark. Cocktails are excellent.

HARBOR CITY RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Everything was perfect. The food being delicious is one thing, but they also add tons upon tons more amount of food on your plate. You would think the food would be expensive with the quality and quantity of the dish, though it’s super duper cheap for how it is. $100 worth of food was enough to feed me and my family for dinner, tomorrow’s lunch, tomorrow’s dinner, and maybe the next next day’s lunch again. It’s incredible of the amount they give you. It’s such a steal. Customer service was amazing too. They’re super nice, helpful, and even funny lol. The atmosphere just felt as if everyone is enjoying their meal and it’s such a positive feeling being inside the restaurant. Please, give this restaurant a try, and enjoy.

Don’t be fooled by the exterior. Dim Sum is delicious. Very efficient ordering system. Just scan the QR code at your table and order. No need to wait for the cart to come around. Best part of this is I don’t need to talk to anyone (an introvert’s dream).

Great dimsum. No carts just order from menu. Old converted Mexican restaurant, medium small space. One big round table probably to seat 7. About 8 or 9 4-chair square tables. Love their dimsum, got the pork, fish and tofu pot good too. Salt pepper squid tasty.

YEN CHING RESTAURANT REVIEWS

The restaurant was beautiful. I loved the art and the cherry and plum blossoms that were all over the restaurant. The waitress was very nice and helped answer questions about the menu. I grew up in Springfield, MO and they have a distinctive flavor for cashew chicken. This place's almond chicken reminded me of that flavor. My wife had a prawns dish that was also quite excellent.

This was a surprise for me, I was in the mood for Chinese food and was looking for a place. The gps took me here and when I entered it was so homey and the atmosphere was genuine. Even though I was getting take out it was a wonderful wait. I will be going there again and next time I'm sitting down to eat with my family and friends.

Fantastic. The egg drop soup is amazing. Almond Chicken. Mongolian Beef. Sweet and Sour Chicken. Fried Rice. Peaceful setting. Comfortable seating. Pleasant music.
