"Located in Rancho Bernardo, this Chinese restaurant is one of the few places that specializes in Yangzhou-style cuisine, considered a cornerstone of Chinese gastronomy. Owner Bruce Bu operated his own restaurant in Yangzhou for 15 years before spending time in the kitchens of well-regarded restaurants like Taste of Hunan and Double Happiness. Try dishes like Yangzhou-style boiled dried bean curd shreds in soup, Yangzhou crab meatball, and fish with pickled vegetables." - Helen I. Hwang, Candice Woo

Finally! I’ve been looking for Chinese food in this town that rivals NYC Chinatown. Here it is! Tender scrumptious soup dumplings. Perfectly cooked shrimp with the freshest peapods in lobster sauce. Kung pao - sublime. And green beans were simply amazing. Nothing greasy or salty. Fantastic, everything. Don’t miss this place!

A nice addition to Rancho Bernardo community! We ordered salt and pepper chicken, beef chow fen, Sichuan style twice cooked pork belly and soup dumplings. The pork belly dish tasted like the one that I had in China. Salt n Pepper chicken flavor was good but chicken was thin and a bit too chewy and dry. The soup dumplings had thin wrappers and tasty soup. Overall, they were pretty good and authentic. The restaurant is spacious and pleasant and the staff was friendly. It’s a place to go back to.

First time trying it, it was really delicious. There are American and Chinese food here. We had fish and walnut shrimp. You can experience the service of the waiter. Not only that, when we finished eating, the waiter also gave us mung bean soup to cool down. It was so delicious. I feel like I want to drink more mung bean soup. my god

It's pretty great to see one of the greatest Chinese cuisine types now available in San Diego. The type called HuaiYang cuisine, the region is kinda near Shanghai, but their tastes are slightly different. The HuaiYang foods here are pretty authentic, I love the tofu and bacon dish. Also their meatballs are great! The soup is very tasty as well. If you want to try different types of Chinese cuisines, you should come to try out.

Came here back to back in 2 weeks. Food is tasty and good presentation. Price is good too. On a Thursday evening, they were busy. Also many take out orders. We also like the center calligraphy print at the restaurant. It really give an authentic Chinese feel.

Tried this place on Christmas Eve and I will come back again. Pleasant service and seated right away. Their food is delicious as well ordered dishes for 4 people with some leftovers. Soup dumplings i actually preferred than Joyee because of their dough isn’t thick and chewy. The eggplant stir fry, shrimp chowmien, scallion pancakes also delicious!

I brought my friends here today and tried their signature dishes, Lion's Head and Boiled Dried Shredded Vegetables. I've never eaten such authentic Chinese food. I highly recommend this restaurant. Their Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables is very authentic. After the meal, I said hello to their chef and gave me some glutinous rice balls.
