Best beef tendon I ever had. Family owned restaurant, authentic Chinese Northeastern BBQ. Coming here every month! !
I has been going to this place for fours years. It is my goto place every time I had a night flight landing in SFO. The Fried Pork in Scoop is one of the best ones that I had in the Bay Area. Thats a surprise.
Very good Chinese BBQ restaurant, I thoroughly enjoyed the lamb kebabs, the taste was as good as always, I will definitely come here more often.
We live in Taiwan so this was a god send after a month in the US. Conveniently across the street from our hotel. Enjoyed the food and learning a few new words in Mandarin different from Taiwanese Mandarin.
We arrived in the USA late and hungry, so we ordered some BBQ and a few dishes surprisingly, everything was delicious! The owner was very friendly, and we had a great time dining there.
We tried chicken and lamb kebab sticks here and both of them were truly amazing. The sitting area did not seem much fancy but we went for take out anyway. But the food was really worth 5 stars.
We just ordered some food from here and I was a bit skeptical at first, but the wonton soup was amazing!! Perfect, clear broth that wasnt too salty but amazing taste. We also had the chicken frames and they were very tasty! Last, we had ...
The best get together Chinese BBQ around the neighborhood!!!!!!! It is always my first choice when we are craving for some good food afterword. The sweet sour pork is a must order dish! We also tried the candid sweet potato is fancy, worth to try.
