    Great place good is great and portions are large but they put much more broccoli than beef or chicken in the broccoli beef or general tso's chicken
    Great place to eat to and get whole fries fresh fish. Or huge lobsters and crabs as well. The roasted duck is great and they also accommodate large groups.
    You can bring your own alcohol

    This one star is literally give to the service .
    We have been there couple times , their food is alright . The service was just so so before , but it's terrible this time . One of the waitress is just rude !
    Maybe they are not baby friendly , or they are prejudice for few people ordering less food . Not even a single word came from that lady's mouth , not to mention any " thank you" . We ask the bill at the same time with the other table , but the other table got desert and she ask " is everything ok ?" . But our table just the bill and nothing comes out , and it took forever to take the card , I eventually handed to another lady to check out .  I'm not sure if I will go there again , for the food , yes , for the service , no way !

    Great food and wonderful service. Every dish was well seasoned as it came out, and pretty reasonably priced. They do have specials on whole poultry if you order main dishes which is a true bargain in my eyes. My family and I ordered 4 dishes which came out to ~$55 with tax. Not bad when feeding 6 people. I recommend this place for good Chinese food where you know the Quality in the food is there.

    Dishes we ordered that stood out:

    We ordered a whole chicken for $10.99. A huge plus
    goes to the Breast meat being deboned! No bones to fight with?!? Thank you chef! (Happy dance)
    I assume it's a free range chicken as it was lean in size. Definitely not your typical Costco size chicken. The ginger scallion oil was a great compliment to the dish. **the dish is served cold and was the first dish to come out. We enjoyed it like it was a cold cut appetizer**

    The pork hash with salty fish was delicious. Well made with tender chunks of meat instead of other places where they put the meat through a grinder. Pieces of salty fish lay in the middle, so if you're not interested in it then you don't have to eat it. All of the ingredients (pork, salty fish, and ginger) tasted so well together and when you scoop some of the fat that was rendered from the pork and pour it over the steamed rice, it glistens with flavor.

    2nd visit our dish selection had more hits.

    Kobe beef with fried tofu. 5 star for tofu fans! The fresh "soft" tofu, cut into rounds, panko crusted and fried--so hard to do! Beef marinated in baking soda, a classic Cantonese technique. Sauce slightly sweet but savory: soya with a touch of hoisin? A generous and very fine dish; unique to Sasa and well worth driving here if you're a tofu fan.

    e-Fu noodles with seafood. 4 star. Very good, but there's a nearby restaurant (no, not HKHK) that does this a little better.

    Steamed tofu with seafood and mushrooms. Massive, at least 10-12 oz. of fresh tofu, cut in 1" high squares, steamed on a lotus leaf and topped with a white sauce stir-fry of Bay shrimp and chopped shiitake mushrooms. A dish for tofu lovers only: very mild, with only a hint of salt from the sauce. We loved it, as any Cantonese fan would.

    Good but not a "must order":
    - Dim Sum items
    - Peasprouts w/garlic
    - Sautéed lamb with XO sauce. A generous amount of thin-sliced meat with sliced celery and sugar snap peas. A touch of fresh red and green chile peppers; very thin, almost invisible slices that catch your palate by surprise. The gravy is innocuous; XO sauce is mostly oyster sauce. We liked this, but didn't love it.

    This place is arguable the best American Chinese food I've ever eaten. Super fresh and hot, it was delicious.

    The only issue I think people will have is that if you are not Chinese you will be looked at a type of way. Every customer was Chinese. My siblings and I are half Chinese and half white and when we entered we kind of got some odd looks, nothing harsh, just some curious glances. I think the wait staff was a bit taken aback when they realized my Chinese mother didn't speak any. Everyone, including the customers, spoke only Mandarin except for this one women who spoke some English. Despite the communication barrier, the waiter we had made a big effort with pointing and gestures to make sure we understood each other and was very nice about it.

    I think the service would obviously be better if we spoke the language but the food speaks for itself!
