I've done takeout orders before so I had to ask again to just to make sure. guy says "no takeout" then just ends the conversation there, no explanation or anything. I mainly came here because the takeout is convenient and the meat is pre-cooked anyway if you dine in so theres no point. They should announce these things on SNS and remove the takeout options on here and their site.

Depending on your appetite, two ladies could possibly share. We ordered 2 and it was enough for 3 people to share. 2. Since we do not eat anything spicy, we asked for non-spicy from the get-go at ordering. The owner was able to accommodate. 3. Parking is street parking only but readily available fronting the restaurant. 4. The restaurant space is rather small, so it gets busy during meal time. We often take out by ordering ahead of time.

Though they have been around quite a while I had forgotten they were here. Today our group ordered a nice variety of items: jajamyeon, jjampong (yes it was spicy!), orange chicken (Cantonese style), chicken chow mein, and few others. My favorites being the jajamyeon (tho i might order it with seafood next time) and the orange chicken. Looking forward to trying other dishes on the menu as well tho... recommend bringing a Chinese or Korean translator! ;-) Thank you Judi for reminding me of this hidden treasure. I learn so much from this phenomenal group of women! Sorry no photos. Too busy enjoying the good food and even better company. Parking lot accessed from Kona Street just BEFORE Piikoi.

Most spicy dishes spice level can also be customized. So far the spicy dishes that my husband and I really enjoyed are toothpick lamb with cumin, kung pao chicken (yes the authentic one), frog with double chili pepper, sliced crisp grass carp w/ pickled cabbage and chili, and mao xue wang. The non-spicy dishes we really enjoyed were sliced crisp grass carp with garlic sauce, tomato and scrambled egg (classic dish), sautéed eggplant and green beans (the eggplant was cooked perfectly), and of course sautéed water spinach with garlic. The price is also very reasonable and the food is prepared quickly, both for dine in and take out. We look forward to going back and trying their other dishes!

There was just two of us so only ordered three things: garlic fried rice w/shrimp, crispy fried fish and dan dan noodles. They were all really good and hot! Fried rice was fresh and ratio of rice, egg and shrimp were great. Fish was moist and the batter was very light and crunchy - would definitely order these again. Dan dan noodles were ok - it was good but I asked for not spicy and there was no protein on top so not sure if the spice was from the ground meat so I was kinda disapointed that it was just noodles. I'd order again spicy if that was the case. Overall, I'd definitely bring my family here. Spicy level isn't that spicy so that's a plus. I'd like to taste the actual spice rather than burn my taste buds from it.

IRREGARDLESS I'd go back for the popcorn chicken (crispy, light fry, bite sized) and air conditioning. Sometimes Chinese food can get super saucy so the small plates - cucumbers, rolls, baos, and veg - work for me. It's serious 家常菜 or home-style cooking or quick food you'd find on the street: ong-choy, tomato-braised scrambled egg, garlic cabbage, essentially all the greats, shareable. Seasons also offers the beef soupy noodle sets, but when it's 85+ degrees out and sunny and 80% humidity, I do question ppl's judgement. I've always loved the Plaza, empty and partly abandoned, bec/ the design is conducive to good airflow and cooling, a much underappreciated architectural element in modern downtowns. But the bums and indigent love it more and sadly always leave some je ne sais quoi. Seasons finds itself across from the dim sum behemoth in Chinatown, Legends, but that's a different flavor profile. Still, quite nice to have variety.

I think the cheapest category cost $5.50 which given the dated and not-so-clean atmosphere I would rather go somewhere else. The quality was subpar compared to other also authentic dim sum places. Went there for dinner takeout long time ago, nothing memorable, and recently for dim sum. I got the tofu skin wrap roll, chicken feet and chives dumplings. Chicken feet was decent. Tofu skin wrap roll had a kinda weird aftertaste. The steamed dumplings skin was terrible. You could see in the picture that it wasn't translucent. I think I've had better dim sum from the frozen section at Hmart. It seems busy at times coz apparently some tour group come here. I hope every business stays in business and they continue to get business from tourists, but not from me unfortunately.

Wanted dim sum after running errands and ended up here instead of our usual Tai Pan. It was…read morerelatively early when we arrived, around 11:15am on a Wednesday (NYE 2026). The restaurant was almost half full, occupied by Chinese uncles and aunties chatting. There were only two ladies working; a cashier/phone order taker/takeout packer and one to take orders, serve food, etc. A pot of tea and menus were brought to us as soon as we were seated. The server very enthusiastically tempted us with baked stuff first, from which we only chose the egg/custard tarts. The kid then asked for shrimp dumplings and she rolled the steamer cart around. In total we ordered egg tart, 2x chicken feet, 2x shrimp dumplings, spinach and seafood dumplings, bean curd seaweed rolls, shrimp look funn, and pork and century egg porridge, for just under $60 including tax. We all agreed the custard tarts were good. Flaky and soft crust with a perfect custard (altho the kid and hubs both got liquidy centers). The chicken feet is peppery and umami, unlike most places with steamed peanuts or black beans. More importantly, the skin was tender and silky and collagen-y and not rubbery. The bean curd roll was tasty as well, almost like a steamed spring roll, with I think a mix of seafood and possibly jicama and carrots. The porridge is enough to feed at least five with two bowls per person. The rice is smooth yet had some bite, with a generous amount of ginger slivers, thinly sliced pork, and century egg bits. It then got really busy with takeout orders and people waited quite some time. Attentive enough staff, although our iced waters never came, despite asking twice. Wouldn't mind returning for dim sum.
