The owners of this small Chinatown seafood restaurant don't concern themselves with flashy decor or any other incentives to get you in the door. They know that what matters most is authentic food prepared just the way it was back home in Southwest China. Home is the key word here; you'll find the family members themselves in the kitchen.
They're around all night long; if you're out late (we mean really late), and you want something a little better than greasy diner fare, this is your spot. The menu includes the best of both Cantonese (often associated with light and fresh vegetable ingredients) and Mandarin cooking, offering everything from fried rice dishes to beef-pork combos, seafood, curry and chop suey. Try the seafood combination plate for only $9.25; you'll enjoy a mixture of seafood and steamed vegetables in a light ginger sauce. The prices are great (full portions $5.25-$12.95, half-portions are available for half the price), and decor is just as low-rent—not that you'll care at 4 a.m.
