Family-run for decades, this Santa Clara favorite serves a focused weekend lunch dim sum menu alongside Cantonese crowd-pleasers. A low-key setting with a loyal local following; great for staples like siu mai, steamed buns, and shrimp dumplings.

Unlike ordinary Chinese restaurants in the United States, I was so satisfied because the scent of the dish was strong or not too salty. Especially, appitaizer and the soft tofu dish was really delicious, but orange chicken tasted a little unexpected. We were a little worried about ordering too many dishes, but we finished our plates. When we went, we were relatively free and they looked pretty kind. I have a revisit intention, and I recommend you to visit.

I've been coming to this restaurant since the late 90's, and there has never been a time that I can remember, when I've had a bad meal here. The siblings Frank and Lilly, who started the restaurant with a vision of bringing authentic Chinese cusine to Santa Clara, have withheld it's commitment, prestige, and status in the community. The service is always consistent and the wait staff is like family, especially Hugo, he has seen me and my brother grow up since teenagers. I'm so proud of this establishment, keeping a float, as all the smaller mom and pop shops around them in the Plaza have all gone away. If you are from Santa Clara, and don't know about China Stix, you live under a rock.

Have been going to China Stix for years and they have always been consistent for quality. Portion sizes are reasonable and they have many dishes to try from. I have fond memories of their minced fried fish in lettuce cups, walnut prawns, tofu, and other dishes. Occasionally they host parties and weddings at the restaurant. Conveniently located in middle of Santa Clara and although they are located in a strip mall, parking does get a little hectic and spots are small.

The place looks a bit too authentic, but the food was great. We especially loved the minced chicken on lettuce cups, they came as 4 cups, and were refreshing. I would say a reasonable couple could easily just order the combination plate and be full. We ordered way too much. There was also complimentary tea which was fun.

Probably my favorite restaurant in San Jose, and I was born here, raised here, and lived here for 21 years. China Stix is a consistently amazing restaurant with massive portions of authentic food. I usually get the combination plate and it’s a huge quantity of food. The family dinners are also amazing value. The honey walnut prawns in particular are absolutely delicious. I also love the sweet and sour chicken, pot stickers, wonton soup and chow mein. On top of the food, the staff here are all lovely and extremely attentive. They greet us personally like we are family, are super quick with drink refills and are sure to check on us several times during our meal. The service is also very fast. My parents are regulars here and I make sure to come with them at least once whenever I visit the area. My mom was given some cookies today by the manager after I told him that it was her birthday. He made our visit memorable!

My family and I have been coming here for years, and each time the food and service is amazing! I especially enjoy their orange chicken and dim sum, and every time I come here I order one of them. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys a 5 star experience that is relatively affordable!

The food and service are very good. It is a more open floor plan but it has style. Acoustics are good, but we were there early with less people around which helps with conversation. This place is very clean. The staff are very nice, and friendly. The tea was excellent.

This used to be a great place to go for Chinese food. I brought my family here for Mother's Day and was disappointed to say the least. The food was bland, with little flavor. We got the chow mein, won ton soup, garlic chicken, Mongolian beef and sweet and sour chicken. The place wasn't too busy at 6 pm, so there is no excuse for the poor service. Not once did our waiter check on us! We were not given ANY water and I was very thirsty, as was my daughter. Once, my waiter was right behind me giving the check to the table next to us and I thought for sure he would ask if everything was ok, but he rushed off before I could even flag him down! He had looked right at me and still not acknowledged our table. Well, $150.00 for dinner plus an undeserved tip later, and we left. I shouldn't have tipped well, but I won't be back for more. There are two new Chinese restaurants in the area and I intend on trying them. Time to move on and find a new place to enjoy. I cannot afford to waste money on bland food and poor service. 0 stars for service! 2 stars for food.

Came here for weekend brunch on Father's Day! Got our dimsum fix and salty soymilk. The fresh pan friend chive buns were delicious as well! Was made fresh this morning. The staffs were all very nice! It was nostalgic to see dimsum carts rolled around (11-2pm on weekends only) I enjoyed the authentic ambience! Super spacious for large groups. It was our first time here today and definitely will be coming back to try other dishes!

This place has always been solid, but the Dim Sum lunch is much better than dinner. Service is exactly what you would expect, not great, but not rude, just a little slow. The dishes are all on point, save for the peking duck. Flavor is good, but they always seem to have anemic ducks that are just a little too small, but even then the flavor and crispy texture is perfect. This is not a place I go often, but only because it is a little out of my way at this point and by the time I get over there, I realize I am not dressed for it, so I end up grabbing something else quick.

Came here on a Saturday around noon. China Stix was hosting a venue event, so the parking lot was super crowded -- usually the parking situation is better. Of course, half the restaurant was reserved for the event, and there were a couple of tables filled on the other half. On weekend mornings, they serve a comprehensive dim sum menu. We ordered chicken feet, baozi, salty soybean milk, beef roll pancakes, and dumplings. The food came out relatively quickly, all warm. The chicken feet were soft and flavorful, the baozi were large and warm, and the salty soybean milk was appetizing and comforting. The beef roll pancakes had flaky skin with tender meat, and the dumplings were stuffed with savory filling. The service was really quick, and the rapid service and authentic dishes of China Stix makes it a reliable restaurant for dim sum. If you're craving warm, filling Chinese dishes on a weekend morning, definitely come here. I'll be back!

My company has ordered this place for years now. we usually order a huge order a couple times a month. Inside their restaurant they have two big party rooms. It's a pretty big place and very authentic. Anyway, they have always gotten our order correct and on time. They always gift an item to us since we order so much food! It all, always tastes so fresh and the owners are so sweet!

Unfortunately this was just average Chinese food. I would not go out of my way to come here. Staff was nice and always check on use. But the options were basic and the flavor lacking. Bummer because I had my wedding banquet here many moons ago and the food was amazing.

Great food, nice pricing and excellent service. Wonderful for the family. My granddaughter love all the food and my mom is asking for more. I went and did a take out the week after we went there.

This is a Northern China restaurant that have been around for 15 plus years . Their dim sum lunch has been very popular. We went tiger for dinner on Sunday . Their business have gone down a lot . I was surprised that they only have to go menu and not the nice Chinese menu book. We have ordered seafood ( stir fried vegetables with giant scallop and prawn ) , beef ( scallion beef ) and pork ( salt and pepper spare ribs ) . The seafood and beef were good but the spare rib was too sticky and salty . The service was good and the waiter was very attentive. Price is very good compared to most restaurants in that area . They did not add 18 % tips on the bill . We would definitely return for more dishes . P.S. their Peking duck was good but needs 6-8 people to finish that . This time we only had 4 person .

Came here for dinner last night and for the most part everything was wonderful. When we first arrived we were seated right away and the order for drinks was taken. After we received our drinks, our food order was taken. The service up to the delivery of our food was excellent. The restaurant had 2 big events going on. After our food was served the service dropped off some. The food was excellent as usual and China Stix is still one of our favorite places to go for a meal.

I cannot comment on the price point since I did not pay. But the food is delicious, especially the honey walnut battered shrimp and the stir fried beef and Chinese broccoli. They also do their mushroom medley dish really well. A good place for hosting parties up to 70 people.

Food was tasty although service was lacking. Went for a Saturday lunch and had a banquet menu. Restaurant tried to rush us out by taking away plates and chopsticks before the lunch session ended. We were the only tables in the banquet side of the restaurant that day. Not diner minded.

筷子樓是一件老店 應該有它的信用度才是 但是今使不然 非常失望 希望只是單一廚師的問題 今天開了近25分鐘的車訂了以下外賣 飯團 淡漿 燒餅夾蛋 蘿蔔糕 有關燒餅夾蛋的油條基本上是油炸之後連油一起夾入燒餅中 入口滿嘴是油 極其噁心。如果只是這個就算了 我也不會此留言。飯團油條又粗又硬 外面的糯米飯只薄薄一層。原本訂的淡漿 給我的是甜漿 餐廳應該做的是對顧客的尊重 此尊重來自於對食物的用心 如果不尊重不用心 需要檢討 Chopstick House is an old well known restaurant and should have its reputation, but it wasn't. I was very disappointed. I hope it was just a problem with the chef. I drove for nearly 25 minutes today and ordered the following takeout: rice balls, no-sugar soy bean soup, sesame seed buns with egg, and radish cake. The fried dough sticks with the egg buns were basically fried and then put into the sesame seed buns with the oil directly. My mouth was full of grease and it was extremely disgusting. If it was just that, I wouldn't leave this comment. The rice balls and fried dough sticks were thick and hard, with only a thin layer of glutinous rice on the outside. I originally ordered no-sugar soy bean soup, but I was given sweet soy bean soup. Restaurants should respect their customers, and this respect comes from the care and attention they put into the food. If they don't respect and care about the food, they need to improve it.

Picked up pork egg foo young with pork fried rice to go. For over $40 it lacked flavor especially in the gravy, I ate here before and food was amazing but this time it just lacked. I would definitely go back but wouldn't recommend the above dish.

This place is very clean and the staff is very friendly. I stopped in for lunch. I purchased the broccoli beef dinner plate, Kung Pao chicken dinner plate, shrimp dumplings, and pork buns The dinner plates came with chicken chowmein, steamed rice, wonton soup, egg roll, and a potsticker. I really appreciate the restaurants that participate in serving "dinner plate" options so you can have a little of everything. They served us green tea immediately when we sat down at the table. All the food was decent and definitely edible although nothing I ate really stood out to me here. They also boxed my food up for me . The service is great and the food is okay. Broccoli beef: 7/10 Chicken chowmein: 8/10 Won ton soup: 8/10 Kung Pao chicken :7/10 Shrimp dumpling :8/10 Egg roll:6/10 Steamed pork bun: 8/10 *This place has a large section you can rent out for parties. There was a birthday going on and they sang happy birthday like 10x .

Finally decided to try this place. Who I presume is the owner (older male) was asking each table how everything was. He was about to pass my partner and I. My partner politely asked for a refill and he had a big attitude. When he brought the drink we said thank you and he rolled his eyes. This was a very weird experience. My partner and I were both hungry so we ordered a lot. 4 plates to share with the thought we would take leftovers to my parents. Well, we had plenty left (more than half our plates were full) and when we got home to put food in Tupperware for my parents separately, we had the tiniest boxes. There's no way they packed all of our food. We did think it was odd they took our food to the back to box it but didn't say anything. Won't be coming back.

I rate this place a 4 stars because its sad to see so many chinese banquet places close down. There are a lot of fond memories going to chinese banquet halls for red egg and ginger, weddings, random celebrations, etc. We came here after a funeral, so there were around 60 of us in the back room. They have the normal round tables as well as an area to project a computer if you're showing a video or slide show. Its also a nice quiet secluded room from the rest of the restaurant. After we sat down, it took a little bit for the food to come out. But when it started, it never stopped. It being a banquet style, we received the jelly fish appetizer platter, asparagus, fried shrimp lettuce wrap, "shark fin" soup, fried shrimp with the lobster claw, lobster, beef and scallops, duck/buns with hoisin sauce, fried rice, mushroom and vegetables, and a few more. We ended the night with a sticky rice with beans in a pineapple. All the food was excellent and my favorite was the beef with scallops. Because it was a big banquet, service was slightly better than usual. I hope this place continues to survive throughout the years because its definitely a really good option if you're looking to hold a large party of people.

Ate here a couple of years ago. Would like to checkout the food and see how it goes this time. In general, the quality and the presentation of dishes were below my expections. We had 4 dim sums dine in and one takeout which is way too salty and has too much brown sauce. Not a good dining experience.

Ordered a hot and soup from this place, it was the worst soup I've ever had. Absolutely no taste whatsoever, and I'm wondering how that can even be! That a soup has no flavor, but that's all it was. I haven't had anything else from this restaurant, but please save your money and don't get the hot and sour soup.

I loveee the orange chicken here! Definitely try it out if you are in Santa Clara area. My second favorite dish would be the honey pecan prawns. We tried kung pao chicken, it doesn't have a spicy kick to it so kinda disappointed on this one. We tried one of the tofu beef soup (which I realized only available on their Chinese menu (?)), it was okay. Service was quick we got a seat within 1 minute. Great for family gathering. Price was pretty reasonable, the portion did justice.

Tasty, affordable, quick service, spacious enough, and not too long of a wait! I've been coming here since I was a little girl with family! And it's just so nice to bring my own family for lunch here too! My fave is the honey walnut shrimps. Yum!!

This is our go to when we crave for Chinese food. The dishes are consistently good. Expect to wait when you dine there on the weekends. The service is nice and they have a decent amount of tables inside the restaurant, so the wait isn't usually that long. This restaurant has been in business in Santa Clara for as long as I can remember, at least 25 years! It is definitely worth the try. They also serve dim sum on the weekends!

I am surprised that I have not yet left a review for this wonderful restaurant. China Stix is our family's most favorite Chinese restaurant in all of the Bay Area. We've a standard set of menu items that we order every time we go there. And we enjoy it thoroughly each time as well! I've not found firecracker chicken that tastes as good as theirs anywhere else. And their shrimp dumplings are always fresh and delicious. Finally, the chili oil seasoning can take any dish up to a 10. We've been regular visitors to China Stix for 20+ years now and hope it'll be around forever. Highly recommended.

Used to love this place but it's kind of gone downhill. Everything was just kind of "meh." They used to have the best shrimp with walnuts and now it's kind of sad. I dunno, maybe it was just an off night.

Going downhill. I went there for lunch. Few Signs I should have left, but I didn't. 1. I can find parking right at the front. 2. Few of my fav lunch Restaurants near by all closed down 3. It looks very dark and air is stuffy. It feels just old and dark inside. Strange vibe. 4. Hardly anyone inside. There is so few choices in the menu. All dim sun items are gone. Dishes like pork meat balls for $28! Service is still good. Food tasted average and expensive. Not going back.

Kids demanded soup and noodles and I remembered visiting China Stix with my colleagues some years back and liking it so we decided on this place for Fridays dinner. Ambiance is quaint oriental style and took me back in time, but everything is pretty well maintained. Though the restaurant is huge, they separated out a portion of it and left it empty. Though they had table cloths and nice dinnerware they will still served water in paper cups. We decided on chicken corn soup, veggie egg fried rice. The eggplant in hot garlic sauce was marked as a popular item so we decided to get that. And I decided I wanted to try egg fooyung so we got that as well. Across the board the use of salt was minimal. We had to douse enough soy sauce to get some flavor out of the dishes. I liked the chicken corn soup, it had a lot of umami goodness going on in it. The fried rice was decent as well, fragrant and light. It was my first time eating fooyung, I didn't realize it was a glorified omlette. Again, pretty decent but lacked a flavor punch and no amount of soy sauce helped it. The eggplant was very disappointing. It lacked flavor and the oomph garlicky flavor that this dish is normally associated with.

We've gone so many times for both sit down and for take out and never had a bad experience. Friendly staff, clean and fancy looking dining area, and reasonably priced for big servings of delicious comfort food. Seriously, it's such good comfort food!

The food is ok used to be better what I really didn't like is how they sneak in their tips. I understand when there are big parties typically of like 6 or more they automatically charge gratuity pretty much in most restaurants. However here they write in their own suggested amount on the receipt and then charge you for it without even telling you i was here with my wife and daughter (3) they brought out the receipt I was pulling out cash to leave a tip until i noticed they wrote in their own tip on the receipt to make it look like i had done it . I didn't mention it to the cashier to see if she would charge it and without question she did. That is not ok and no where does it say that they are going to do that! That is a scam!

Service horrible. We waited 30+ minutes for our food to arrive. The Mongolian beef should be renamed to vegetables with beef; too much green onions and onions and less beef! Literally digging the veggies to find the beef! We let the manager know and she said they have been there 36 years. Thats beside the point, you're slacking and being shady with the BEEF. Salt/pepper spareribs were greasy and for 20 bucks of a few spareribs. And the service charge?? For being late 30+ mins of serving the food??? Should have been waived. Rip off and inconsiderate owners. Place is a joke! There are better places for authentic Chinese food with better prices.

Came here with friends for dinner. They told me good things about the restaurant's food. We ordered the Combination Chow Mein, Orange Chicken, Chicken with Spicy Garlic Sauce, and the Salt & Pepper Spareribs. My favorites were the Orange Chicken and Chicken & Spicy Garlic Sauce. These two dishes had the most flavor and tasted the best. I liked that the Orange Chicken was lightly breaded and had an actual piece of chicken inside. Meaning that other places are heavy on the breading and skimpy on the meat. China Stix is different by a long shot. This was the best orange chicken that I've ever had! I hope to come back to have more soon. The Chicken & Spicy Garlic Sauce wasn't very spicy and had a lot of flavor. I liked that this dish had a good amount of sauce covering the chicken and vegetables because it made it easy to coat my rice when combining the two. I easily liked this dish because it had tender chicken, slightly crunchy vegetables, and sauce! I love adding sauce to my rice! The Chow Mein was okay. The proteins and noodles were cooked well but the overall dish lacked flavor. The salt & pepper Spareribs were cooked well but they lacked in flavor and quantity.

Why I overeat at this place every visit? This is my family's go to Chinese restaurants when we want to have yummy food with good ambience. I overeat for the following reasons: they have generous portions for every dish; I over order because food is always delicious that I order too many dishes; food is really good that I want to keep eating. The BBQ fried rice is the best fried rice. There's a smoky taste to it. Well seasoned and doesn't skimp on the BBQ pork and other ingredients. The honey pecan prawns are always crispy with just enough sweet mayonnaise dressing. Orange chicken is crispy, nicely battered and coated with sweetness and soy flavor. The combination chow mein is usually good but hit or miss sometimes. Wor wonton soup is consistently good with good serving of wontons; broth is not too salty. Generous portion of ingredients than most other restaurants. Braised short ribs was tender and well marinated. On the saltier side. Better with plain rice instead of fried rice. Broccoli beef was very good. Can eat this all the time. Staff are always nice and make suggestions to make your dining experience better. Food come out quickly even on busy weekend dinner hours. Has a family feeling atmosphere. Dim sum on Sunday brunch hours is also a must try. Been coming here for years and will continue to be on my go to list of local restaurants.

My mother used to be a regular at the restaurant and was always here with a former friend and their father. I however first heard about this place on Singtao radio when they had the money for an advertising. This isn't your average Taiwanese restaurant. The food quality is pretty interesting if you come here twice. It seems like China Stix has been around the area for quite some time according to other Yelp reviews posted here. However, the Taiwanese food also has some American vibes because it's mostly familiar dishes that you see in your average restaurant. If you are super lucky they have breakfast here although for people who are not native to the area it can be hard to reach. Drawback: After coming here more than 3 times the quality somehow feels kind of boring so that is why I cannot give it a full five stars.

I've honestly been coming here since I was a little kid. Had my 10th birthday party here. The food is always good, and they're always on top with their service as well. My parents love coming here for any occasion. We always get their honey walnut shrimp, hot and sour soup, fried rice, chow mein, sometimes my dad will add some seafood platters. You can't really go wrong with any dish here. The space is pretty big so if you have a big family lunch/dinner they can accomodate.

The food here for the most part was decent. It chow meón was not greasy, the sweet and sour chicken was not drenched in sauce, which is my preference but not my partner's. He preferred it to be more saucy and a little more sour. The meat did maintain a nice crisp through out the meal. I also liked that the dish wasn't overloaded by the extra stuff like pineapple and bell peppers. It was mostly meat. So that was nice. We also have the crab wontons, this was delicious, but had a unique hint of citrus. My favorite dish has always been the honey walnut prawns. Their version they use pecans, which was still delicious. The only part I didn't enjoy that it was it also had a slight citrus note, which to me it defeats the flavor a little bit. Service was friendly! There wasn't a lot of other customers on there, so it was nice and quiet. If we're in the area, we may consider coming back to try other things.

Hey there Party People, Myself and a very dear friend decided to try a new place for Chinese food and it was a great choice. The wait staff was on point they weren't trying to push us out the door after ordering. We were able to linger and chat, which was wonderful. A nice surprise was the complimentary Chicken Corn Soup. Just the right amount of roasted corn and chicken to make a great spoonful. It's rare to find a place that has Egg Foo young, which is a favorite of mine. It was a huge portion incredibly tasty as well as fluffy and not a salt bomb. We also had Mu Shu Pork. The pancakes that came with it were strong in texture so they held up to the sauce and filling without tearing. The pork was seasoned well it made for a great bite. What Chinese meal is complete without an order of Fried Rice. We went with vegetarian it was a great texture not dried out. The flavor was on point as well. The hot tea was perfect didn't even need to add sugar. Look forward to going back again. Be kind to one another.

This place is great for gatherings! Lots of tables and a nice presentation as well with the chair coverings. The food is delicious and they like to bring out everything all at once. My favorite was the chicken salad, honey walnut prawns and the green beans. Even for a party, you can taste the quality of the food and nothing I ate was over cooked or undercooked. What surprised me too was that the food wasn't overly greasy! My only qualm is that the water and tea weren't refilled and it took a minute for them to do so.

Ordered some egg foo young. Chicken and shrimp combo. Living in nyc you take for granted how many hood Chinese spots you see, and they all serve egg foo young. Cali is a different breed it's not as easy to find somewhere that makes it and it's been so long since ate this I was ready bust down. Soon as I walked in opened it up golden brown Crispy sledges three large size servings. I dove in head first my first bit wasn't what I was accustomed to. Not as many veggies as east coast ones but soon I needed another bit and another I almost forgot about the gravy and they add onions and scallions to there sauce. Which definitely had a hint of sweetness to it. But I enjoyed it I went from saying I'm only eating one to having two. Great egg foo young overall l,

I don't know what happened, but the quality and service really went down here at China Stix. My co-workers and I came for lunch and it wasn't busy at all, and we were seated immediately. First, even though it was not busy, it took a very long time before our server came to take our order. Second, they gave us complimentary tea, but no water. I asked our waiter for three waters and he gave me a look like I was asking to pull it out of a water well outside. Third, our food was very bland. My co-worker got the Kung Pao Chicken and not matter how much soy sauce she put on, it still didn't have much taste. My War Won Ton tasted bland as well, even after I put soy sauce and chili sauce in it. Finally, when we went to pay, they would not split the bill three ways. The lady at the front desk gave us a nasty look and attitude. We have been here to eat for lunch many of times in the past and with bigger groups, and it was never an issue to split the bill up. I think it was just pure laziness on her part. Sadly, we all decided this would be the last time we eat at China Stix. We have been going here for years, but the service and quality it just no longer there anymore.

Nothing to say traditionally about the dish I ate. I'm Asian and 54yrs old and I never in my life encounter a wonton noodles soup made with thick round noodles and wonton soup made with mushroom and Napa cabbage and tasted bland. The most common dish in Chinese food and they can't do it right. A total disappointing experience

My family and I stopped by China Stix for an early dinner around 4:30pm on a Sunday. The place wasn't too busy, so we were able to get seated right away. Got to love how quickly Chinese restaurants pump out dishes. We got our food shortly after we ordered. We ordered a few items off the menu including vegetable fried rice, mixed chow mien, honey walnut prawns, and kung pao chicken. The food wasn't bad but leaning towards the side of bland in my opinion. The honey walnut prawns was my favorite dish out of the ones I tried. The prawns were huge and plentiful. They were deep fried well and stayed crispy throughout the dinner despite being drenched in the honey sauce. The kung pao chicken was fine. I've certainly had better, but at least it was what I expected for an average kung pao chicken. I didn't try the chow mien but had the vegetable fried rice instead. I appreciated that the rice was loaded with veggies. The sliced yellow onions attributed to a nice crunchy texture. However, I did find that the rice was very bland. I would never put soy sauce in fried rice, but this was the first time I felt like it desperately needed it.

This is the one I usually go for weekend lunch. They have special Taiwanese style breakfast serving during that time and is more authentic than another places that I can find in the East Bay Area. I can't say about dinner or during weekday. All staff been working for that place for a long time. Quality been consistent over the last 9 years.

I wish this place wasn't as pricey, because I would come a lot more often! I've ordered the dumplings and wonton soup from here before and they were both good. I was very impressed with how many wontons were in the soup...they definitely didn't skimp. I remember the staff were friendly on my most recent visit and packed my takeout order nicely. As the weather gets cooler I will definitely be back soon to get more soup.

I came here because I was craving some Chinese food in the area. My order was quite safe/ not too adventurous. I was satisfied not amazed. Ordered: orange chicken, chow Mein, fried rice, pot stickers, spicy tofu, and pecan prawns. All were good and service was ok. I need to come back and order the more authentic items. Overall good/decent spot for Chinese food!

My favorite Chinese restaurant. Amazing food and customer service. We eat here at least 1x per month or more and the quality of their food and customer service never changes

Ive heard many things about this place. I only eat at family owned/ small businesses & this is a really well run family business. Ambiance: Nice for a date night, brining family, friends. Food: Beef is amazing portion & so are the prawns. All of the food can be shared family style which i love. Honey Walnut Prawns: Sauce is amazing, has the smallest hint of horseradish, which i personally like. The prawns are slightly crisped on both sides which goes very well with the slightly sweet and savory sauce. Can't wait to eat here again & bring my friends!
