"I recently visited Hong Kong Garden dim sum for lunch and overall, it was a decent experience. The service was really friendly and attentive, and the restaurant wasn't too packed even though we went on a Monday at noon. One thing I liked was that dim sum was made to order by marking the menu, so there weren't too many carts around, which made the food feel more fresh.Now, onto the food. Unfortunately, there were a few misses for us. The haw gao was just plain horrible. The shrimp tasted fishy, grainy, and was in small little pieces. Plus, the outside fell apart before it even got to our table. The sui mai was just okay, comparable to Trader Joe's instant ones. It was surprisingly fishy and too dense. The chicken feet had great flavor, but it was overcooked and mushy, and it fell apart easily.The sweet rice and shrimp balls were also disappointing. The rice was hard and flavorless, and we would pass on them next time. The egg tofu was something new for us, but we probably wouldn't order it again. However, we did appreciate the technique and talent it takes to fry it without breaking it. The pan fried shrimp and chives dumpling were also not great they were huge and rubbery.On the other hand, the deluxe rice roll was the best thing we had and definitely worth coming back for. It had the best texture of any rice roll we've had in Las Vegas, and the shrimp inside was crispy. So, if I were to return to Hong Kong Garden, it would only be for that dish.Lastly, the roast duck was really good the skin was crispy and the meat was tender. It was priced at $12.99 for a quarter duck, which was reasonable. The Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce was just okay though the broccoli wasn't bright green and the oyster sauce was quite salty.Overall, I would give Hong Kong Garden dim sum three stars. While the food had its hits and misses, the service was really good and the restaurant wasn't too crowded. So, if you're in the mood for some dim sum and are looking for a place that's not too busy, this could be a decent option just be sure to order the deluxe rice roll."

"My family has been dining at BBQ Unlimited for over ten years, back when it was still known as Bangluck. If you’re accustomed to typical takeout Chinese places, P.F. Chang's, or the countless Asian buffets, this might not be the spot for you. However, if you're open-minded and willing to embrace something different, then you'll appreciate the distinct style of Chinese cooking offered here. This isn't Szechuan or the Americanized version of Chinese cuisine where beef and broccoli come with florets (though you can request that here). Instead, you’ll find Cantonese-style dishes, which are hard to come by in chain restaurants. Personally, I find the food absolutely delicious, but I understand that some flavors may take some getting used to. For instance, their beef and broccoli is served with Chinese broccoli, which can taste a bit bitter to some. BBQ Unlimited is a beloved spot for many Asian immigrant families due to its authenticity. It’s a favorite not only for my family but also for countless others we know, including Thai, Filipino, and Korean families. That being said, if you're looking for a pleasant atmosphere, BBQ Unlimited may not be for you. I agree that the service can be subpar, as many of the waitresses don’t speak the same language. Nevertheless, this restaurant offers something truly special. While it may not attract a wide audience, it has a devoted following. Recommendations: - Shrimp Pan Fried Noodle - Spicy Squid - Combination Fried Rice - Sole Fish (Warning: it comes whole with the head) - Beef and Broccoli - Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce - Stir Fried Snow Peas"

"Food was good. We don't like them preparing food from scratch beside our table. The dining tables become an extension of the kitchen. And most of all the bill is in Chinese! Why can't you give us a bill we can understand? Everytime i get the bill, it's a guessing game. Make an english bill. You are in USA. You also have a lot of non Chinese customers. Be considerate. I literally don't know if I paid the correct amount."

"In contrast to many genuine Chinese restaurants, where you typically see a lively atmosphere filled with chatting aunties and uncles, this place felt lacking. I tried the baked rice, which was mediocre at best, but the stir-fry dishes were excessively salty. My family and I found ourselves drinking copious amounts of water with every bite, probably downing around ten cups of hot tea each just to counter the saltiness. If you're searching for authentic Chinese cuisine that's flavorful without being overpoweringly salty, I would suggest looking elsewhere. Excessive salt is not beneficial for cardiovascular health, and authentic Chinese food is usually rich in umami and lower in salt."

"A friend gave me a gift card to this restaurant, and I finally decided to use it months later. Unfortunately, when I arrived, I was informed that my gift card had already been redeemed. I was shocked—did my friend give me a used card? The waiter explained that it had been used just two days prior. I was puzzled, as this was my first time visiting the restaurant. It felt like I had been scammed out of $50. If they can mishandle something so minor, I can't help but wonder what other standards they might be cutting. Are they reusing the same frying oil for weeks? Are their utensils being properly cleaned? I just can't trust this place; it feels like a complete scam."

"Terrible attitude from the employee there. I went in to ask for a catering menu and when I didn 't see one, I asked her if they had a paper one so I can take it with me. She proceeded to say no . I then asked which one of the in-house menus were catering party tray ones and she said over there but there were 3. A blue one. A pink one and some white ones further away. She said take a picture which I was planning to do. Since I didn 't know which ones she was pointing at, I said is it the pink one? And she said no. I said is it this blue one and she said no and then she got upset and yelled the white one over there! So I told her she can forget about me ordering there. I don 't know how this place survives because it 's dumpy and dirty inside and now with this shitty attitude I hope they go under."

"This place is unhygienic! Please stop going there. I do not think they are even maintaining basic standards of a restaurant on food hygienic conditions. Today I have picked up my order for vegetable fried rice at 8 30pm. At home, When I?m almost done with my dinner I see an insect in my food. When I called the restaurant about the situation, they simply ignore saying their counter is closed or they even cannot refund my money. They asked me to get this food to show them the next day to get another replacement for it! Why Would I order again knowing how bad their food is and when I wanted my dinner why would I go next day to get its replacement?! The restaurant online says it closes at 10 but when I called at 9 20pm they say they are closed! The restaurant smells very bad too. I couldn?t wait for a min when I went inside to pay for my dinner pickup."

"Went here for dinner. When we first walk in the restaurant they sit us at the table. After we sat they gave us the tea. However they never give us the menu. When we ask for the menu they just like slam the menu down. I was dang what is your problem. So we look at the menu to see what foods to order. We ordered about 6 dishes but they messed up one so we told them. We don't want it. It took too long and they messed it up. The food tastes very bland. The fried fish they recommend doesn't taste cooked. The only good one was the lamb chop. The rest was ok basically bland. It could be better. Don't think I will come back here again."

"Excited to try but it just didn 't deliver for us. We did not dine in; we ordered for pick up. Little to no flavor in most of entree 's we ordered. Calamari was mush. Fries were soggy. No flavor to the popcorn chicken. The beef skewers were somewhat decent but that is definitely one that 's hard to mess up. It 's especially expensive for the portions provided. With a name like Cajun Feast I 'm not sure there 's much to be found on the Cajun side of things it 's moreso eastern influenced. Respectfully speaking, I don 't think we 'll be coming back."

"seriously the best worth dimsum spot I've ever had. her dimsum is top notch, my partner and I will get it every time we get to oakland. the owners are also beautiful and super friendly! ordering our favourites are the black bean substitute ribs (several orders). we had no better in sf,) the snow-covered pigs, and the sticky rice and chop meat in lotus leaf. serious, amazing, authentic dimming sum. if they are really picky about the ambiente, they will pick up instead, but we love the experience to sit on one of the community tables surrounded by older dances and oncles, that is the real sign of an amazing Chinese restaurant!"

"Let's be honest: the main draw of this restaurant is the Star Bread. The prices here are incredibly low; we got 25 pieces for just $10, and you can even buy 50 pieces for $20. If I could, I would buy their entire supply, but I'd end up with more than I could ever eat in my lifetime! Besides the Star Bread, they also offer traditional Filipino dishes that are absolutely delicious. We tried the milkfish and the braised pork served with garlic rice, and they were both very affordable and tasty. The value for the Star Bread alone makes it all worth it!"

"Don 't bother with this location. I came here for some porridge and they said they are all out, I asked about their chicken noodle soup, all out, i was thinking maybe they had a busy day with chicken so ordered the pork chop, all out . If you want don 't feel like opening on Xmas eve, just close. This place is also very dirty and will NEVER come back. If you can, go to the location on Brookhurst. At least I know that place serves food. MERRY CHRISTMAS!"
