There is a big variety of food to choose from. There is a large parking structure in the back that was easy to find parking. There are 2 entrances so be sure to check both if you are meeting a friend. Food came out nice and hot and the staff kept our lemon water filled. They even offered to pack up the leftovers for us. Trust me, you will have leftovers as the portions are generous!

The food was very good! We enjoyed everything we ate! The service was very fast. You have to order on your own and they just bring you the food, but the food came out very fast! The ordering platform was a little confusing because it was in another language, but after a little bit, we were able to figure out how to change it to English. The prices are more on the pricey side in my opinion for what we got. It didn't seem like a bang for our buck, especially because it was family style amongst 4 people.

Ambience, location, and timing of the food preparations were great. But the food itself wasn't that good. The food we ordered barely had any chicken meat In it. It was mostly bones and not even that much chicken itself. The broth was delicious though. Maybe we'll come again for a different meal

This is the first time I have come to this place in person. The space is big, nice, and clean. The food was okay overall. I ordered the same dish that I had previously ordered online for pickup. The pickled fish fillet was very delicious. It was served with a small stove to keep the food hot, which is nice. You can choose the spice level: less spicy, regular, or extra spicy. I chose regular, and it was actually quite spicy. People who cannot tolerate too much spice may want to choose the less spicy option. The sticky rice corn pork ribs were just okay. The corn on top tasted a bit sour. I am not sure if it is supposed to taste like that, but it made me feel like the dish might not have been freshly made. I also ordered the Youxian fried rice noodles with egg and pork. The rice noodles were too thin and were not the type of rice noodles we expected. The waiting time was also a little longer. We arrived at 12:33 and were seated at 12:40. Around 1:00, the fish was served. At 1:10, we received the sticky rice ribs, and about 10 minutes later, the rice noodles arrived. I understand that we came during a busy time, so the wait was still acceptable for me.

I came here last week after picking up some books at the Northside Library. There was ample parking space during early Friday evening, although my sisters mentioned this plaza can get crowded. We were greeted by staff when we arrived and promptly seated at a table in the middle of the restaurant. There was a QR code to scan for ordering. My fiancé and I ended up ordering stir fried fish fillet and stir fried beef with pepper. The food came out piping hot! The beef was so nice and tender and the bell peppers gave the dish a nice freshness and color. The fish filet was served on a hot plate and the waiter kindly turned it off for us after he noticed the broth was boiling as he was passing by. The fish was delicious. The restaurant itself was nice and not too loud even though there were other patrons there. The staff took care in filling our glasses when they were half full and gave us takeout containers for the portion of our meal we were unable to finish. I'd definitely go back if I were in the area.

Tucked in the corner of the Rivermark plaza it can be a bit hard to find parking here. I came here with a party of 4 and were seated right away. We ordered food off of an iPad and got fish, vegetables, pork and rice. All of the dishes were quite delicious but definitely more on the oily side. My favorite dish out of them all was the fish, the sauce on it was pretty light and the fish was very fresh. I really enjoyed it.

The food here is expensive, but I recommend going for the specials. I ordered the beef noodle soup. It was excellent! Tender beef to go along with a flavorful broth. The broth has an enjoyable amount of spice: just the right amount to make your tastebuds tingle. Orders are through the store-provided iPad. The customer service is good overall. Good amount of dining, and the space is overall clean.

Came here with my dad and I to grab something quick to eat for dinner before going up to SF. We ordered the stir fried fish (清炒鱼片) and the beef noodle stew. Really filling and hearty, family style dish but we did see lots of couples around us that ordered one to three dishes so YMMV (depends on your appetite!). I really enjoyed the broth in the beef noodle stew, it was not too salty and came with a good amount of vegetables. Noodles were QQ, the stir fried fish was delicious and aromatic. The tender texture paired with the crunchy leafy greens was well balanced! Overall, authentic Eastern Chinese fare in the Rivermark Plaza- a well maintained and nicely groomed area nestled in the middle of corporate Silicon Valley. No complaints about the surroundings, but when you go inside it's as real as you can get. Service is good and the interior is clean, lots of seating and the waiters are friendly!

Came here with a party of about 15 of us, and they were definitely not that prepared lol. The round tables seat about 10. We ended up connecting the long tables into a huge one for all of us. The long table design is nice - there's like a basket underneath to hold your stuff! Not for the round tables though. You order on an ipad. Our team ordered so much stuff. Quantity of the dishes were decent. What would I order again? I think: - the chicken soup - the spicy beef - sour cabbage fish fillet - vegetables were all yummy What would I not get again? - the shrimp with vermicelli noodles - clam dish (didn't have enough clams, just a ton of spices inside) Overall, customer service was great. Parking was also easy. And for my birthday... they gave me a complimentary birthday noodle dish! But they only gave it to me at the end when I'm stuffed LOL.

Located in the rivermark plaza, parking can be pretty hit or miss depending on the time of day. We got here when they were an hour off from closing. There were maybe 3 or 4 other parties here. We were seated pretty quickly. My bf has ordered their fried rice on a previous occasion and I was super impressed by the wok hei so we decided to come here for dinner. The waitress spoke to us in Mandarin and named their specials and instructed us to use the tablet to order. We're Cantonese speakers so we could only sort of understand but we appreciated the hospitality. We understood enough haha. We could have told them we didn't speak Mandarin, but we decided to just go with the flow, we were in too deep. We got the braised pork belly with tofu and plain noodles. The plain noodles were definitely a good deal. I wasn't expecting vegetables, which were a nice touch. Especially great for the cold rainy night we were having. The pork belly and tofu were very well done. Really appreciated that it came with a flame so we could have hot food. Would definitely come back and see what else they offer.

Great authentic Chinese food. Ordered Togo from Uber eats and the prices/portions were really fair. Taste was on point. I liked all the dishes I ordered. I got the grilled tofu with minced pork, steamed egg with minced pork, smoked pork fried rice, and steamed braised pork with smashed peppers. Usually I critique each dish but tbh every dish was solid and what I expected if not a lil better. I had very low expectations of the smoked pork fried rice but the smoked pork added an interesting dimension to the fried rice. Overall, enjoyed my order from here and wouldn't hesitate to order from them again

A friend and I thought we'd check this place out since we always pass by it in Rivermark but never go. At first we were drawn by their sign saying Hunan Cuisine and when we entered we were greeted and seated us right away. There are QR codes where the napkins are but those will make you download an app on your phone. They take your order by handing a tablet and noting your table number down. We weren't craving much so we only got 2 dishes and 2 bowls of rice. The first dish they brought out was braised boned chicken with taro root. My initial impression of this dish was there's a lot of chicken and the chicken was good but it starts to get salty really fast. I know the point of the dish is the chicken still has bone but it seemed like there was a lot of shattered bones throughout the flesh and so we were cracking a lot of those with almost every bite. The spice level was good and taro didn't seem to get spicy. Our next dish was sautéed egg with fermented soy which we were excited for. It was tasty but also really salty which made it hard for us to keep eating. The fermented soy was definitely a nice a touch to the dish. Overall, we felt the food is okay but not something we would crave for. We also thought the required tip amount was kind of silly because we felt ignored by our server the entire time we were here. They were good at taking our order and card (they took our card without showing us the receipt) but not so much answering/noticing you when you need help. Also, do not think you can get out of their required tip amount as they chased us to increase the tip.

Yesterday I went to try Easterly because I thought this restaurant would be a good representation of Hunan food. I'm not sure if they have the same level of authenticity in China, but I might have to go somewhere else that serves Hunan cuisine because I had a bad experience here. Let's talk about service first. They never checked up on us to see if the food was okay or if we needed anything else. We had to wave down the server for the check because she couldn't take the hint we wanted to leave. I normally tip 15% whenever I eat out, but I didn't enjoy the service nor food and I'll explain why soon. I didn't leave a tip and as we got up to leave, she went to pick up the check quickly and she said we are required to tip. My friend and I looked at each other like... "Uhh? is this legal?" LOL. I left a dollar tip and heard our server running to see how much we tipped and she took a deep breath and huffed at us. The audacity to stop me and force me to tip for bad service was ridiculous. Now talking about the food, my friend and I ordered the braised boned chicken and as you eat the chicken, all the bones are mixed in and you have to pick out the bone with your finger. The chicken was also too salty and diluting it with rice doesn't help at all. I really got excited for the sautéed egg because you can't mess that up, but surprisingly they did lol. The egg was very salty and I still have to eat it with big scoops of rice. The atmosphere of the restaurant was pretty clean, including the restroom. The most enjoyable part of the dish was the kick of spice that leaves your mouth a little bit numb. The food would have been a lot better if it wasn't so salty or if the chicken didn't have so many tiny fragments of bones that makes your teeth hurt when you bite down on it. The only thing I loved about the food was the bowl of rice.
