Hong Kong Clay Pot Restaurant

I was so happy to go to San Francisco for my birthday. My husband treated me to dinner in Chinatown at Hong Kong Clay Pot. Everything we ate was thoroughly enjoyed. From the salt and pepper chicken wings to the Chicken Clay Pot with chicken, sausage, mushrooms and onions.This is a no-frills restaurant, but all the food is bursting with flavor.

Wow! I eat a lot of Chinese food, and this place has raised the bar for what excellent Chinese food tastes like. Rarely on my travels, do I find a restaurant I want to go back to because I have limited time and I want to try as much of the food as I can wherever I am. But this place is one of those rare places that I would eat a second time (I didn't because I got invited out for my other meals). I got the Seafood Clay Pot, and my friend got the Frog Clay Pot. We shared them and the egg drop soup (which was served family style) and pot stickers. They were amazing. The service was fast, courteous, and welcoming.

the interior is of course outdated, everything is old and not very clean. but this is almost in all establishments, so I will evaluate the quality of the food. the order was brought quickly. the eggplants, pork were cooked well. the shrimp tempura was excellent.

Taste of Hong Kong!! Only a short stay in SF after travelled from East coast. Dad and I have been craving for a good and authentic Chinese Canton meal. After looked at all the Google reviews of the whole Chinatown. We decided to go for this place and we made the right choice. The sizzling claypot dishes were hearty and delicious just what we needed for a cold day and the veggie stir-fry was so fresh and well cooked. Beef Chow Fun (rice noodle) was great with wok hey 鑊氣 My dad called it the best meal since we have been away from home for 2 weeks. And the price is very reasonable too. Most importantly we made friend with the lady boss, she is so welcoming and looked after us well. She chatted with us the whole time talk about everything just like an old friend. We felt like home eating at her place so we went back again second night. Highly recommended for people if you look for an authentic Cantonese place and don’t know where to go. This place has something other place may not have - 人情味 👍🏼👍🏼 多謝老闆娘🙏🏼

We had lunch at this cozy little restaurant located one flight of stairs up on Grant Ave. We ordered braised black bass, Singapore noodles and crab& fish maw soup (it was too much for two so we packed the noodles for dinner). The food was tasty and the service was good. If we're in the area, we'd definitely come back and try some of their other dishes.

Don’t miss out on the absolutely most delicious Cantonese style Chinese food my family and I have ever eaten. The food prices are very inexpensive for as much as you get. The Chicken Chow Mein and the Chinese Broccoli With Beef are a MUST! These two dishes are by far the best we have ever eaten at any Chinese restaurant. We tried several dishes and only found chicken fried rice being average. Everything else was top shelf. The services is fantastic and I would recommend any party 4 or smaller to sit by the window so you can look out. Make sure if you’re anywhere near San Francisco to come eat at this gem!

The best fried rice in San Francisco. Green bean dish is very flavorful. Also eggplant clay pot was super flavorful and delicious. Will be coming back here.

Two years in a row dining here! Didn’t disappoint! Very tasty and friendly staff

BFF prefers Cantonese style Chinese food over Szechuan style and there are plenty of Cantonese style restaurants in Chinatown. I found this place via Google and it got great reviews. It did not disappoint! Located upstairs, it is not recommended for disabled people who are immobile as they have to climb the stairs (did not see an elevator). We were promptly greeted by the owner and staff, seated wherever we chose and our order was taken promptly. We chose the special meal for two people or more listed on the back of the menu (16.95 per person for option "A" or 18.95 per person for option "B"). We chose option "B" and I thought we had to choose between two entrees listed, but our server told us that we get everything listed under that option (family style). What a bargain! The option we chose included won ton soup, fried potstickers, shrimp fried rice, Mongolian beef, and sweet and sour chicken. BFF doesn't like shrimp fried rice but rather BBQ pork fried rice and our server allowed substitutions. As for the food, it was tasty and generous portions! I was afraid we wouldn't be able to finish our meal but did not want to have to take any leftovers back to the hotel as we were out and about, but luckily, we finished everything. Staff was super friendly and also allowed us to charge our cell phones at an empty family style table next to ours. Definitely a must!

Classic Hong Kong Style Chinese food is being served at Hong Kong Claypot Restaurant. Located on the second floor at 960 Grant Ave, this unassuming restaurant with only about 12 tables, many of the tables being for large groups, has an old school feel. The friendly waitress, the three hard working chefs in back preparing the food. It's everything I could want or expect from an old school Chinese restaurant. I ordered: Beef Chow Fun: they make one of the best chow fun dishes available. Excellent savory wok hay flavor. It's a large portion for an affordable price on top of that. Peking Pork Chops: delicious sweet, savory, sour sauce on chunks of delicious pork. My favorite dish here and it will be yours too if you order it. Honey Walnut Prawns: this was a solid version. Nicely breaded, lightly fried, with mayonnaise and honey walnuts. Decent dish. Seafood Claypot: this was a variety of seafood, like fish, calamari, shrimp, mushrooms, and tofu. I liked the variety of textures and flavors along with the Claypot gravy. Very good dish overall. The service was excellent, food was fantastic, I would highly recommend and I can't wait to go back.

OMG. I am halfway through Shrimp Fried Rice and Sweet and Sour Chicken (yes, I'm a White Guy) and they are THE BEST I have EVER had in 72 years. In Honolulu, I think they kill the street chickens for sweet and sour chicken. Like chewing Firestones. THIS chicken melts like ice cream. It is the best ever ever ever.

I was so happy to go to San Francisco for my birthday. My husband treated me to dinner in Chinatown at Hong Kong Clay Pot. Everything we ate was thoroughly enjoyed. From the salt and pepper chicken wings to the Chicken Clay Pot with chicken, sausage, mushrooms and onions.This is a no-frills restaurant, but all the food is bursting with flavor.

I ordered take out and the portion size was large. Everything tasted fresh and I would order from here again.

Good experience and great food We had reservations and were seated immediately service was fast and food was great. Really liked the clay pot dishes. The exterior is really small but up the stairs are a lot of seating. Only weird part was the fortune cookies at the end were pretty stale and had waymo ads in them

Great food reasonably priced. Kind service. Loud and crowded. Needs a little cleanliness but so do most Chinese restaurants in SF

A little hard to find but the vibes immediately told me I was in for a good meal. The restaurant is up some stairs from the sidewalk and, during a weekday lunch, empty besides for myself, my friend, and the staff. We got a clay pot and e-fu noodles to share which came out promptly and sizzling hot. The clay pots are no joke! Watch your hands! The e-fu noodles were mostly broken up but still delicious. They made for a nice accompaniment to the saucy clay pot proteins. Service and ambiance were par for the course for hole-in-the-wall restaurants. Be prepared to flag down your server if you need anything and bring your foodie friends not your bougie friends.

Food was pretty good but overall not a standout. One thing to keep in mind is that they don't serve the typical Cantonese style clay pot with rice cooked underneath the meat/veggie dishes. It was just meat and veggies cooked/served in a clay pot. We ordered the curry chicken, fried rice, and fried wontons. Quality is overall good and service was fast. It was overall satisfying and portions are good. It will definitely serve you well as just a practical place to grab a quick meal. Price point was good, only $40 for two for lunch. You don't pay for any extra frills here. The place looks like a time capsule and probably hasn't significantly changed in 40-50 years. It makes me at least nostalgic for bygone times, typical hole in the wall Chinatown restaurant.

I was craving claypot and I should've looked at the photos before ordering. I was expecting rice to be in the claypot with the topping on top but they sold it separately. The price point is pretty affordable. We got 2 rice bowls, 2 claypots and fried chicken wings for roughly $40 before tips. I really liked the salt and pepper chicken wings the most. It was crunchy and super flavorful. The chicken and mushroom claypot wouldbe better if they used fresh chicken and not the chicken slices or breast? The beef stew was too gamey for me but the tofu was yummy.

11 out of 11 people would agree this place is so good! Food literally we ordered is officially on the endangered species list

Solid food at a reasonable price. You can tell this is where the locals eat. The food came out piping hot in the namesake clay pots, and most dishes were quite good. Some were a bit on the saltier side. Service was good, and the atmosphere felt nostalgic. I would come back for the tasty, classic dishes, homey vibe, and good value.

date visited: 01.12.25 ordered: sausage chicken claypot and chow fun i didn't know that the claypot would not have rice and that's lowkey my fav part because the crispy bits :C it was however, very flavorful and loaded with onion and mushroom which was yum. beef chow fun is a classic. good wok hey flavor but verrry greasy haha. service was quick and kind! vibes are super comfy, felt like i was eating at someone's house.

Delicious but super small portions. Be warned however as there is no waitlist to put your name down, you just have to wait in line. -FOOD- #28 claypot: frog was delicious with the sauce, normally claypots come with rice but this didn't have it. No biggie! -Honey walnut prawn- one of the better ones I've had. Sauce was all the same but you know the shrimp is popping when it "bounces" it your mouth. Nothing too special about the last 3 dishes, pretty much taste the same like any other Chinese restaurant here in the neighborhood but still damn good! -Clams -Fried rice -Eggplant ( a little greasy though)

We got the salt pepper pork chops (crispy and well seasoned), clam and frog clay pot (wish there was more frog but well seasoned), pepper steak (tender and good black pepper flavor) and some calamari (crispy and well fried). The food tasted great but the dishes were smaller portioned than I thought it would be. There was only two people working and we were taken 30 minutes before closing which was much appreciated. Overall, a good experience and would come again!

HK clay pot restaurant has a ton of reviews and is a staple in Chinatown, but it's easy to miss! Keep your eyes peeled for a red restaurant sign and a carpeted stairwell that'll take you to the restaurant on the upper floor. I went on a busy Friday evening, but my party of two was seated immediately. The restaurant was bustling with locals and tourists filling the 15 or so tables. Even with a full house and tiny FOH team, the service was exceptional! Employees were quite attentive and had a good grasp of when customers needed something and were ready to order. We ordered the seafood clay pot and dried XO scallop sauce with shrimp fried rice. The clay pot was still bubbling when it came out. The tofu was nice and smooth and there was a good serving of seafood (squid, shrimp, fish). My only gripe with the clay pot was that the dish was rather salty. The XO sauce fried rice was really exceptional, though! With large pieces of shrimp and the fragrant wok aroma, the fried rice is enough to keep me coming back!

Food - authentic and super delicious cantonese food! We ordered 4 items: 1) sweet and sour pork 2) clay pot 3) rice dish (not pictured) and 4) green beans sweet and sour pork was AMAZING. deliciously battered and crispy, flavorful clay pot was pretty good, very flavorful rice dish was decent and green beans were super tasty. overall 10/10 for flavor! Service - nice and quick. We got seated pretty quickly, ordered and food came pretty quickly. Ambiance - I'd say it's a hole in the wall. Interior and tables felt a little dated, but clean. Probably less than 10 tables so seating can be a challenge during busy hours.

We were in the mood for something warm and comforting, so we decided to come here for clay pots. Their beef & tofu clay pot that I got was really good and flavorful; the beef was tender and the tofu was nice and soft.

Really enjoyed take out here, and in person is no different. I actually tried to go yesterday but they closed early (came at 6:30, but they closed already?) The good: - their clay pots are delicious and are not too salty -- if you'd like a saltier experience, you can ask them or add some soy sauce or salt yourself? - really like their green beans and chow fun too. I was going to try their pan fried noodles but I'm sure theyll make it well too lol The meh: - inconsistent hours

We were in San Francisco this weekend (7-18-2025) with some friends. We haven't been in the San Francisco Chinatown Area in many years, so we decided to try this Chinatown restaurant because of reviews and nostalgia. The restaurant is truly a "throw back" to the long forgotten Chinatown restaurants I remember as a kid! This restaurant is the embodiment of a true "hole in the wall!" We ascended to the restaurant by marching up a long flight of stairs. We were seated immediately. We ordered salt and pepper pork chops, sweet and sour pork, twice cooked string beans, clay pot beef, and a spicy tofu dish. The food arrived hot to our table. The service was good. The portion size for our dishes were generous. The flavors and textures of the food were not extraordinary (fairly average). The coating on salt pepper pork chops was soggy. The men's bathroom was filthy with papers on the wet floor. I would recommend this restaurant more for nostalgic purposes reminiscent of Chinatown restaurants of the late 1950s-1960s.

There was a line to get in and I don't think they take reservations, however it's completely worth the wait! everything was delicious and the service was amazing I highly recommend this place. Order the fried rice they will make it fresh at your table , wonderful!

This is truly a hidden gem of a place. Food was tasty and prices are quite reasonable. Decent with "wok hay" too. I have been walking and driving by this place for many years. In search of a new lunch spot today and ended up here. Glad to have took that chance. Friendly service. Will definitely be back.

This food was so good it made me cry it genuinely felt like China and home plus, the owners were super nice and service was amazing. The interior was very well decorated.

I am visiting from Los Angeles where Chinese food is plentiful. Having tried many Chinese restaurants in LA and now SF, this is one of the best restaurants. The prices are very reasonable and the service was excellent. I highly recommend Hong Hong Clay Pot if you are in the mood for good Chinese food.

Food: 4 Decor: 2 Service: 3 Came here for a weekend lunch with a friend. 26. Seafood Clay Pot ~4/5. Pretty good. It came with bean curd, mushrooms, tofu, and a mix of seafood that all tasted pretty fresh. 133.Spinach with Garlic Sauce ~4/5. Pretty good although this dish is pretty standard. We also ordered a beef dish but I unfortunately can't remember which one. It was decent as well. Service was a bit lacking, but typical for a Chinese restaurant. Prices were quite cheap.

I had a fantastic first-time experience here! Despite the restaurant being packed, I was promptly seated at a shared table. The service was incredibly fast, and the food was delicious. I ordered the sautéed vegetables with curry, steamed rice, and spring roll, and everything tasted great. The employees were also friendly and welcoming. The resturant is on the second floor . So if you have difficulties climbing stairs it is not the option for you . Otherwise you need to try them out . You will see lots of very cute decorative Chinese stuff all around . I'll definitely be back!

In San Francisco's Chinatown, you must always be prepared for a retro experience. Hong Kong Clay Pot matches the expectation. The upside is that the prices are retro, and there is plenty of Cantonese food, and most gourmands would agree that Cantonese food has a strong claim to be the very best Chinese food. The downsides? The furnishings are rather threadbare, and the cooking is too heavy on the sauce. It's a touch too salty, and too sweet, and too umami. After a few bites, you really wish the chef had toned it down a little. Oh well.

We were on vacation and decided to try this Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. You have to walk up a steep flight of stairs to the restaurant. At first we were hopeful as the interior looked like an authentic Chinese restaurant. But too bad, the taste of the food was below par. We ordered Seafood Claypot, String Beans with Pork, and Salt and Pepper Fish Fillet. These are dishes we usually order at Chinese restaurant, so we know very well how good they should taste like. They were not good esp. the Salt and Pepper Fish which was soggy instead of crispy. Also, gone are the days when rice was free. They charge $1.75 for each small bowl of rice!

Food: Every time I come here the food is amazing. Super greasy as expected but that's what makes it so delicious. We ordered eggplant in claypot and minced pork with string bean. Price was a bit steep for the amount of food we received. Food came quickly. Service: We were lucky and got seats before the dinner rush. The waitress was super attentive even as it got busy. Every time I come it's the same staff waiting tables so it feels very warm and welcoming to see familiar faces. Ambiance: As clean as you expect a Chinatown restaurant to be and feels like you're eating at someone's house.

To begin, the food was amazing. We had a large party and some rough food critics looking for authentic delicious food. We were not disappointed. The service was also top notch. Extremely friendly and helpful. Lastly, the prices for the quality of food is great! I highly recommend this place to sit down or take out. If eating in- it is a little tight but they accommodated a party of 11 in one round table.

Cheap prices! 2 dishes (seafood clay pot which also has tofu) and beef chow fun for 2 people was around ~32 after tax and tip! However the flavors were a bit light. The noodle texture was excellent though.

Super inexpensive Hong Kong style dishes in a casual sit down restaurant in the middle of Chinatown. The location is super low key, but I love coming here when I want to eat a sit down meal in Chinatown. There usually isn't a long wait, and the service is very quick. The staff speak mandarin, Cantonese, and English. I always go for the clay pots since they have a more authentic Chinese flavor, but the other dishes are all really tasty too! There is a restroom inside also. There are many large tables that can fit ~10 people, so it's great for a big group too.

I have not yet been to China nor Hong Kong so I cannot speak to authenticity only in comparison to Chinese I have had domestically. All the dishes had good flavor. Hot and Sour Soup and the Won Ton soup were both good, seemed like first few minutes the flavors hadn't completely developed because it started tasting better as time went on. Kung Pao and Curry Chicken Claypot were both good. Mongolian Beef maybe our expectation on flavor profile is too Americanized because it tasted kind of Ketchup-ish vs what I imagine as a deeper peppery umami type flavor. Overall it was good, big portions, but from what we have had previously it wasn't a "wow" moment.

This restaurant was a gem! It's hard to know which restaurants to choose, but Hong Kong Clay Pot did not disappoint!

A casual Chinese and authentic spot. This place won't blow you away, but it makes food that will satisfy your Guangdong cravings. I'm not the biggest fan of SF Chinatown. It really lacks the food you would go for as a Chinese person unless its R & G Lounge (the real stuff is down in south bay). But, this place hits. The inside is exactly what I expect from a Chinese restaurant, and the service is great. Fast, easy, and quick. Our food was solid, and this place provides a place for a lot of people to eat. I totally see this being a family-favorite spot for many. If you're expecting a spectacular restaurant to blow you away - this won't do that. But with its consistency and authenticity, it will keep you coming.

Stopped by on a weekday evening for dinner and found a cozy spot serving up comforting food! Service was quick and friendly. The restaurant itself got a bit warm during the dinner rush. I ordered the seafood clay pot with beancurd and mushroom (4/5) with their hot and sour soup (4/5), both were quite tasty! The clay pot was just their fixings served in a clay pot, rice is separately ordered and won't be crispy. I think the portions were good for the price and the flavors were very comforting and delicate (a light sauce that kept the natural flavor of the ingredients the star of the show). Overall, a very comforting meal but nothing to write home about. For a bit it was a nice escape from the bustling Chinatown streets.

Great Service!! Big portions, we ordered too much but got to sample a lot. Loved the potstickers, spring rolls, wonton soup and broccoli and beef. Orange chicken and honey walnut prawns were incendiary sweet, could not finish the portions. Ambiance was quaint and authentic, nothing fancy at all but that's what we were looking for!

I can't believe it's taken me this long to try Hong Kong Clay Pot Restaurant! Tucked away in Chinatown, it's definitely a place you might miss if you're not actively looking for it. Head up the stairs and the restaurant is on your right. We ordered 2 clay pots (bean curd & lamb and fish fillet and tofu), a bowl of rice, and a salt and pepper quail as an appetizer. I've seen some reviews mentioning that the pots are small for their price but I didn't have that experience at all - the clay pots were filled!! I would say that 1 clay pot, 1 bowl of rice, and 1 small appetizer or soup would likely be enough for two. With the amount we ordered, we left very full. As for the flavor, the bean curd & lamb was definitely the favorite with a more flavorful sauce and very tender meat - it does include the fat on it which might not be appealing to some but was super yum to me! The fish fillet clay pot was a bit lighter in flavor. There's a breading on the fish that had a slightly gummy texture in the sauce- my boyfriend did not like this one as much but I thought it tasted similar to other ones I have tried. The best part about this pot though was the braised tofu! The salt and pepper quail was nice and crispy and I loved all the fried garlic - I'd definitely recommend putting the garlic on your bowl of rice for extra flavor. They do have a lot of other dishes outside of clay pots that I'd be interested in trying next time! Lastly, service was quick and friendly. Can't wait to come back!

This place served very regular Chinese food that's like takeout quality - I'm not sure why the reviews are so stellar. It's quite hole in the wall, located on the second floor of this random building in Chinatown. The size and layout of it remind me of Hong Kong for sure but the quality of food was not quite in the same realm. Service was efficient, relatively friendly for old Chinese aunties and nothing to write home about. Most of the customers seemed like tourists. Fish fillet claypot: we had to order one claypot dish at a restaurant that specializes in it. I was a little disappointed to realize the fish was fried before getting incorporated with tofu and green onions in the claypot. Despite saying that there is mushroom in the menu, there was no mushroom to speak of when we were served. The flavor was alright but it was pretty greasy. Sweet and sour pork: was hoping for some real Cantonese flavors here but it was pretty much like regular takeout quality. The pieces of pork were very fat heavy which made it juicy but also meant you got very little meat out of it. Stir fried greens: I ordered the water spinach and was sad when it arrived because the vegetables were quite fibrous. It was stir fried with garlic and pretty ordinary, and quite greasy.

Our Yelp search started as a place to find good Shrimp Fried Rice and we ended up here. This is a solid, old school Chinatown restaurant from decor to service to food. We love that they brought out a pot of hot tea to our table before we even had a chance to look over the menu. We started out with an order of Spring Rolls. Besides ordering Shrimp Fried Rice, we were also excited to try a clay pot dish since we never had before. We ordered the Seafood Clay Pot with Bean Curd and Mushroom. It came out bubbling hot and was so tasty! For us it was the standout dish out of the three. Service was great and everything was reasonably priced. We wouldn't hesitate to go back here for some more clay pot dishes! There are so many more to try!

This unassuming Chinese restaurant serves authentic food for cheap prices. It's located upstairs in an old apartment building with some interesting red carpet. Very much classic, hole in the wall dining with homey vibes. Best for large parties to split family style. Got so much food for about $18 per person. My favorite was the beef chow fen. The beef was tender and flavorful. It came with chewy wide chubby noodles. So delicious. I also liked the stone pot eggplant dish. The stone pot dishes came in sizzling hot. The eggplant had a tangy-sweet, savory taste. Other stand out dishes included: fried rice, egg flower soup, and honey chicken (although a bit on the sweeter side). Service was great. A friend was celebrating his birthday and the workers came singing with a fortune cookie and candle in it. Was so sweet, had a great time here!

HK Clay Pot has been on my list for awhile. I placed an order of their shrimp and vermicelli clay pot to go and ordered a small rice on the side. The clay pot was a lot for one person, plenty of vermicelli and about 8 pieces of mid size shrimp and cabbage. They charged me extra for a side of rice instead of throwing it in. The clay pot I got was a little on the blander side but I saw a few pots that I'm willing to give them another try again. Their fish clay pot and seafood clay pot looks good! Will update again once I go back!

Super good cantonese spot in Chinatown! We came here on a Saturday around 7:00pm and got seated instantly. We ordered fried rice, green beans, clay pot, and sesame chicken - all were really good, although slightly salty. Service was incredibly fast and friendly. Ambiance is a bit of a hole in the wall - it looks like it could be someone's apartment and you need to walk up some stairs to get there, but I prefer it like this. I would definitely come back and would recommend for anyone looking for a good Canto spot in Chinatown!

Found this goldmine through Yelp reviews. So hopefully mine will help you find it too. Not easy to find. I walked past it twice. Look for stairs going up, with some of the ugliest carpet you'll ever see. Ambiance is nothing to write home about. I'm sure many have walked away before being seated because of the look. Glad we didn't. My entire family knew this was going to be a good adventure. Service was a little slow but the place was packed so it didn't bother us one bit. The servers were very friendly. And very attentive. Food came out quick and hot. Chef was busting it in the back. We ordered food for five people: Wanton soup - the both was a little thin on flavor but the wantons were excellent. I added a few drops of soy sauce and it took the whole thing to a new level. Potstickers were ok in my opinion but my kid who loves them loved them. They're fried instead of steamed. Orange chicken is sweet but surprisingly delicious. I loved it but some in my group found it a little too sweet. I thought the flavor profile really stood out. Cooked perfectly. And the sauce was fresh and sweet. Dried green beans were solid and a perfect complement to the other dishes. I will say they're a little oilier than I'd like them to be, but i got over that quickly because they were that good. We got it without the pork for some reason, and wish we hadn't. I suspect that would make the dish even better. Same with beef broccoli- a little oily but completely enjoyable. Broccoli was the greens of the plant, which had nice flavor and crunch - cooked perfectly. Chicken chow mein was the biggest surprise- not a noodle was left in the plate. They tasted homemade, great texture, full of depth and flavor. Braised tofu hot pot was really good. It wasn't my favorite but many in my group said it was their favorite. I wish we would have gotten the shrimp hot pot. Next time. Portions are generous. Biggest surprise of the night was getting all that food plus beers for exactly $100. Best deal too. Hats off to the Yelper's who lead me here. Glad I found it. You will be glad too. Nothing fancy but seriously good.

I came here on Lunar New Years, so it was evidently very crowded. It's actually a bit difficult to find this restaurant since you have to climb up a flight of stairs, but once you get to the top it's the one located on the right. When I went inside I couldn't really tell who was supposed to be helping with seating, but after about 10 minutes or so we were finally recognized and called. It was a bit awkward though, since many of the tables here are round so they're more designed for big groups. Because of this, they sat us with someone else on opposite sides of a round table so it was mildly uncomfortable since we didn't get our own space but nothing too bad. We ordered a chinese sausage and chicken clay pot as well as a seafood pan fried noodle. I originally thought when coming here that the clay pots would have rice, but these don't so you would need to order it on the side if you wanted it. The food came out really fast, and it was all pretty good! The clay pot didn't have too much chinese sausage but the chicken was tender and had good flavor. There was also plenty of onions in the dish. The seafood pan fried noodles were nicely crispy and there was a good amount of seafood and vegetables, but I thought it could use a bit more flavor. Overall, a decent restaurant located in the heart of Chinatown. One thing that was a little alarming was that given it was New Years, there were fireworks constantly being set on the street right outside the restaurant which was super loud and a little scary. This definitely isn't what would typically happen, but it did detract a little from the experience.

Delicious! The chicken clay pot was so, so tender and the Chinese sausage was such a nostalgic addition. I will definitely be back to get this dish again and try other clay pots. The string beans were a little old and tough to chew, but still great flavor. They have such an expansive menu -- there's something for everyone! I came with a friend for Sunday brunch around 11am. The restaurant grew busier and more packed around noon.

We found this true hole in the wall place by accident. But I am so glad we did!! We've been here twice now and absolutely love the food! The Cantonese cuisine brings me back to my childhood and is so yummy, very affordable and service is great. I highly recommend this restaurant!

A hole in the wall! You could easily walk past this place if you weren't looking carefully but it has the classic family dinner style feel to it. You walk up a flight of stairs and turn right into a door that opens up to a large room of dining tables. Families were gathered all around enjoying several dishes of food on a lazy susan. This place is known for their clay pots but I equally enjoyed some of their appetizers and their chow mein. Maybe not the most outstanding but fair prices for a quality meal. Would recommend checking this place out and as a younger adult, I had such a soft spot for the workers! They looked after me like I was their daughter and offered to help me pack my leftovers and whatnot, so I was very appreciative of how welcoming it felt. FYI these clay pots don't include rice so you'll have to order on the side!

I really dig the character of this place! Its quite literally a hole in the wall place hidden on the 2nd floor. You have to climb these carpeted stairs before reaching a very unassuming restaurant that looks like it got converted from someone's one bedroom apartment in Chinatown. The service is also really pleasant which is in my experience rare for this part of town. Most restaurants here are more concerned about getting people in and out. The plates aren't super huge like family style but they were all tasty. 6 was enough food for the 4 of us. Highly recommend: BBQ pork fried rice Deep fried frog legs Green beans Seafood claypot Beef chowfun Walnut shrimp I would be so down to come back and try their other items. Plus they take credit card!!
