"I came here after a concert that ended around 2am. I 'd never been to Chinatown or really anywhere so late but the friends I was with said this was a must-have for post concert food. We ordered the beef cubes which I still have no idea what it matches up to on the menu but it 's possible they just understood what it was when asked. We also got some general tsos and the lemon pepper chicken wings. The wings were the highlight for me although the other food was also good as well. You get some extremely hot tea in little cups that you can refill yourself which was nice to have. The service is quite no frills which is expected in Chinatown l, and the food they serve is 10/10. I do think it 's a little of a weird time since we couldn 't get out for a while since a group was arguing with the owners about whether they 'd paid or not near the door but it was kind of funny and really gives you those late night vibes anyway would highly recommend if you 're looking for food after a late night concert."

Great spot for late night food. The food was good and tasted about average, not overly flavorful but not bland. Very decent prices and nice staff.

Good food, extremely fresh seafood, crab is amazing. Open late food for after bar hopping. Owner's always friendly. Only minus is I've been there too much so I want to go somewhere else for variety.

I made a reservation for karaoke at 11:30, but they overbooked and we ended up without a private space. The staff didn’t offer any accommodation for the situation. I definitely won’t be going back. Thankfully, I didn’t pay in advance.

Love the food. Hate that you have to stare at the poor, cramped fish, turtles, lobsters. It actually makes me sad and looks cruel. I only get take out sometimes the guilt gets to me before I am able to order : I hope they cover the tanks or something in the future. View menu

*3.5/5 Only place around that was open for our late night post-concert cravings, and it was aight. Kinda tasted like food I could put together myself but it hit the spot in the moment. Pan-fried dumplings were nice and crispy, so special shout out there. They also give you tea to drink which is noice.

Our dinner here was not bad some of the neighboring restaurants looked really busy, and there wasn't much of a line here. They were also serving a large banquet/party upstairs, so it's definitely still a popular place. Overall, the sea food dishes were fresh and prepared pretty quickly. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Honey walnut shrimp: 5/5 Salted fish fried rice: 5/5 Service: The food is served quickly, and it's great that they're open late, which is perfect after a night out. Ambience: It's very no-frills, just what you'd expect from a typical Cantonese seafood restaurant. There are far too many fish in their tanks, and you can always find someone cutting a mountain of green beans at the table. View menu

Came here for Chinese New Year on reservation. Really glad that despite them being busy, kitchen staff still made the food taste great with the exception of the jellyfish. Unfortunately, The jellyfish came out bland. Portions seemed to be smaller but I'm not sure if that's due to it being the holidays. We were seated in a private karaoke room with an included private restroom. The place is a lil run down since it's hard to renovate in a busy place such as Chinatown. Bill came out to be $320 for a party of 8; $40 each. They prefer being paid in cash.

Alright, everyone... I'm back! I wanted to weigh in on the debate surrounding Ken's and David's salt and pepper shrimp. I've tried David's before and honestly, I wasn't impressed at all. The shrimp were soggy by the time I got home, and the breading was much thicker—more like a tempura style compared to Ken's. Recently, I had the chance to try Ken's salt and pepper shrimp, and let me tell you, they were exactly what I was looking for! I do want to mention that the shrimp did get a bit soggy once I got home and didn't taste as amazing as they did at the restaurant, but I still prefer Ken's. You can keep David's across the street, haha!
