8.3
A Chinatown stalwart built around live-tank seafood and banquet-style classics, best approached with a small team so you can order across styles—one steamed fish, one shellfish dish, one vegetable, and rice. The room is functional, but the payoff is in big-portion Cantonese seafood cooking that’s designed to feed a table.

Steamed whole fish (ginger-scallion style), Salt-and-pepper shrimp or squid, Cantonese crab preparation (when available)
What Makes it Special: Live-seafood Cantonese cooking geared for sharing and variety.

Mock meat dim sum, Vegetable dumplings, Salt-and-pepper style plates (vegan)
What Makes it Special: Kosher vegan Chinese comfort with a deep dim sum-style menu.
