So many restaurants to choose in Chinatown but so glad we chose Dragon Boat! A very comfortable…read morerestaurant with a good wine selection and menu including live seafood choices. Lots of choices made it hard to choose so we tried a few appetisers and mains. The service was very good and staff friendly. The food came quickly and everything was delicious. Definitely recommend the scallops and the crocodile. Standard choice of Asian desserts. Plenty of seating for couples, small or large groups. There are a few steps at the entry and restrooms are upstairs so not suitable for disabled access. All credit cards accepted including American Express. Highly recommended.

We picked up our number by the register and waited in the small enclosed entryway. Seating inside was a little tight as they squeezed five of us on a four person table. The roasted lamb ribs were so good. It was tender and well seasoned with distinctive cumin flavor. There was a generous amount of fish included in the sichuan boiled basa in fragrant chili soup so all of us got more than enough. The soup was spicy but not overpowering like other restaurant preparations. The final dish was mapo tofu and it had a decent heat level with lots of cubed tofu. Service was ok. At the end of the meal, we paid at the register. There was a 5% discount for paying with cash.

We decided on this one because the prices were good and it looked like a small Mom and Pop restaurant. I was very pleasantly surprised with the large menu selection. I chose the Singapore noodles with chicken instead of pork. Just the right amount of spice and abundant taste. If you're looking to go easy on the wallet and heavy on the taste buds try this place.

Spicy Cumin Pork Ribs…read more Spicy Cumin Pork Ribs Spicy Cumin Pork Ribs The secret is out and they *will* make more. These atomic bombs of flavor and heat are my favorite dish on the planet. After the privilege of trying them once, we came home and began a long saga of attempts to duplicate the dish. After all, they don't deliver to the other side of the world... Well, after numerous unsuccessful attempts, we gave up in frustration. But then, years later, we had the opportunity to return and order the same dish. It was incredible and just as we remembered. Spicy, crunchy, tender morsels of atomic goodness. It cannot be duplicated. Just head down the dark alley and up the few steps in to this mecca of Sichuan taste sensation. You won't regret it. Or, better yet, order some "to go" and SHIP THEM TO US NOW.

I love the sweetness of their BBQ Buns, they have just the right balance of savory and sweet. The Chicken and Mushroom buns are also good and I love their sand yolk buns and sesame buns.

It is better to make reservations. For the dimsum I can say is average like other dimsum places I visited before. The menu is overwhelming. So many dishes to choose from. For dinner it was very nice as we had live crystal crab which I never had before. The meat is soft. The other dishes which good is the beef cube. It was so tender. The shark fin soup which is banned in US is good. Price wise, they are pretty pricey. Overall it was a good lunch and dinner

The service was great our waiters helped us accommodate a disability within my family and recommended us some great dishes. However, the restaurant is upstairs and the elevator was broken, which made it difficult for us to get up. The food: -Seafood fried rice: Really flavorful, with generous portions of dried scallop and crab. The rice was cooked just right and the serving was big enough that for a party of 3, we had quite a bit leftover. -Snow pea leaves in garlic: A favorite vegetable of mine, and this was cooked in an amazing garlic-y soup!! Such a clean and delicious dish -Egg tofu: This was my first time having egg tofu and they were so silky and smooth. They look a bit like scallop and are served with a good amount of broccoli and mushrooms! Honestly really addicting. - Steamed trout: This fish was very pricey, but that's normal for a live fish dish. It was huge- definitely enough to serve a party of 5-6. The fish was cooked to perfection and the sauce paired amazingly with the mild trout flavor. Highly recommend if you're feeling like splurging! This place is also nice, quiet, and clean inside during dinnertime. Really amazing experience overall!
