  Excellent authentic Chinese food, great for a crowd.  Don't go expecting fine dining ambiance, but for what it is, it's quite excellent.
  
  The clam with vermicelli is my favorite, but all the food is excellent.  Went for a big family dinner and 8 people ate and drank to excess for around $300.

  TLDR: This restaurant offers authentic Chinese food, but it's pretty typical and there's nothing outstanding. I was only able to comment on the vegetable dishes, so who knows, maybe their seafood dishes are better considering that they are a seafood restaurant.

  First time in Boston and first time here in this restaurant. I came here with some of my family and had dinner.
  
  Food: They have authentic Chinese dishes. Since it's my first time in Boston, I can't really compare to anything else in this area. However, the food is comparable to other Chinese family-style dining in Flushing, NY. There's a good selection of seafood, vegetable, and meat dishes. I can only comment on the vegetable dishes since I don't eat meat and seafood, but the vegetable dishes were okay. They were on the blander side, but the food overall was still okay.
  
  Service: It's pretty standard for Chinese restaurants. They serve you tea in the beginning and then you order dishes. Dishes take a while to prepare, but once after the wait, the rest of the dishes come out fairly quickly.
  
  Ambiance: Its comparable to other Chinese restaurants. Inside is bright and bigger tables have a lazy Susan. There's nothing too fancy.
  
  Price: It's comparable to the prices of Chinese restaurants that I've been to in Flushing and the rest of Queens area in New York. Seafood is obviously going to be more expensive whereas vegetable and meat dishes are less expensive.
  
  Overall, this restaurant offers authentic Chinese food, but it's pretty typical and there's nothing outstanding. I was only able to comment on the vegetable dishes, so who knows, maybe their seafood dishes are better coknsdiering that they are a seafood restaurant.

  I have been here many many times, but only at 2 am when everything else is closed and only when I had a friend who spoke Cantonese. Service is frighteningly fast and the food was always satisfying after a long night of dancing. They aren't particularly friendly, but who is when serving a bunch of drunk people at 2 am.
  
  Okay, so then I went here during daylight hours and without my Cantonese speaking friend. Food took a long time and was mediocre at best. I can't tell if this is because neither of us could speak Cantonese, or because we weren't super hungry at 2 am. They weren't particularly nicer during the day either.
  
  We ordered the Beef Chow Foon which looked good, but didn't taste like anything; the House Special noodles, which was super fishy (not sure if it is supposed to be like this?), and the salt and pepper pork, which was delicious.
  
  I would recommend this place if you have a Cantonese speaking friend that can navigate you through the menu because they offer a lot of different things.

  It's alright - and it's open til 4 a.m.  Not many places sell spot prawns, king crab and geoduck at 3 o'clock in the morning. It's not the cleanest place, but that's par for the course in late night dining.  The salt and pepper pork chop is not bad; the veg was all pretty tasty.

  This place is VERY GOOD for SEAFOOD. Their little stir-fry dishes are good too, with lots of wok flavor. Their stews and casseroles are OK, would not order it.
  
  We came here for dinner and we got the profile picture dish- STEAMED SCALLOPS with garlic and vermicelli noodles. Amazing dish- the scallops were fresh and the garlic was sweet with the vermicelli noodles and oil binding it all together. We got SQUID and CELERY stir fry which was very good, fresh squid and a skillful wok chef reflected in the dish. We additionally got a sausage and lotus root stir fry that was good. stir fried PEA SHOOTS were very good, again reflecting the quality of the produce and the skill of the chef in not overcooking the shoots under such intense heat. However, the duck casserole we got was not so good, as it was saucy and salty brown sauce which drowned the meat.
  
  Overall 4/5 +1 for wow factor = 5/5. Get what they're known for, and they'll knock it out of the park.
