Famous with their signature dish, salt and pepper crab, go only if you haven't tried it at least once. The crab is big for 2 people with medium appetite, after a while, the salt begins to sting my lips, so drink lotsa water! Beer is a good companion. Wait time can be terrible, check with the lady hostess, she will... more

My husband and I went for a lovely Saturday night dinner. In the middle of the specialties of crab and Peking duck, a four-inch cockroach walked across my arm. To avoid what I experienced, find any of the dozens of other equally well-reviewed restaurants in Chinatown. Bugs in the dining room speak poorly for cleanliness in the kitchen. I will... more

I was very upset when I found out that Shark Fin Soup was on the menu. I should have got up and left that moment, but I didn't. Regardless, I feel terrible that I didn't leave. After watching the movie SharkWater, I've become very passionate about saving sharks and educating friends about the movie. Thousands of sharks are killed only... more

The R&G Lounge was recommended by the bartender at our hotel. He said it was really good....so we took his advice. First, something positive. The food was good...but not anything special. However, the service we received by our waiter ranks as the worst I have ever experienced. Once seated, it took quite a long time for anything to take our... more

The concierge at my hotel recommended this restaurant as "authentic" and "upscale". Authentic might be true, as the restaurant was full of people ordering in cantonese, but it is more of a restaurant for a Wednesday night quick simple meal than a night out on the town with clients you are trying to impress. The decor is Early American dive... more

Upon a firm recommendation from a Long Island , NY couple, we went here for lunch. We were advised to order the dungeness crab which we did-steamed with garlic. Four of us shared it and it was delicious. However, it was all downhill from there. The noodle soup was tasteless-the broth tasted like boiled water. The Peking duck was the... more
