Food was ok. Noodles are overrated. Crab was flavorful. The towels they bring at the end are super hot 🥵. Remember you have to find your own parking and the restaurant is in an interesting area. Be careful walking around

Best fusion restaurant around SF. Small menu but the dishes are what you go again and again for. The whole roast crab was juicy and flavorful, fried rice was on point. Their garlic noodles is also a famous delicacy. Will go back again.

The roasted crab was amazing. Garlic noodle is famous here but you should also try garlic rice too. You’ll love it for sure.

I have roast crab with noodle, fried calamari and mussel with bread. All are so yummy but very oily esp when you eat for quite some dishes. Recommend order some steam veggie dish too

Everything was great. The building looked pretty bad and ran down. Once you got inside, the place was beautiful. Clean and staff was over accommodating. Food is A-1. The employees make you feel like family.
