This place serves food in a price range of $8 – $14. You get your choice of spicy or mild dishes. We recommend trying the Shrimp with black bean sauce served here. This dish comes with a mix of shrimp and vegetables for extra flavour and texture. The sauce adds a nice sourness to the dish. Plus the shrimp itself is fresh and absorbs the other flavours really well. The mild dish works well with anything.

We recommend trying the king crab steamed and served with truffles. This method of cooking retains the crab’s flavour while thoroughly tenderizing the meat of this dish.

This restaurant serves traditional seafood dishes. We recommend trying the Braised E-fu noodles with lobster. The e-fu noodles actually symbolize long life. While the noodles themselves are simply made from egg and wheat, most of the flavour comes from lobster. Adding soy sauce to this dish also deepens the taste. Plus the dish is presented beautifully and the lobster is easy to tear apart.

The East Coast Lobster can be enjoyed with a variety of sauces but our favourite is the Szechuan Sauce. It is house-made with bell peppers and Spanish onions found in every bite. The spice is at a good level as it doesn’t overpower the dish.
