Once he told me he was from Teochew, Guangdong China, everything became more evident. Uncles an OG Master chef. Teochew people influenced the cuisine of Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore. It is in their blood to make quality everyday food. That fried rice .......was a masterclass on how to make fried rice; stirred together with house made Canton BBQ Pork Chasu, every rice fresh overnight, coated with just enough msg & soy sauce, and blended just right with peas, onions, garlic, scallions, carrots. If you were to order Indonesian Fried rice, what was served here today would be the unapologetic OG form factor. Masterclass fried rice. Thank you Uncle. The Sauteed Beef with Onions is not your typical Mongolian Beef, this is how Taiwanese Uncles on the street would stir fry beef with onions. So it's got that little bit of oyster sauce, hoisin, garlic, butter, scallions, onions, and Lee Kum Kee black pepper sauce for the cheating taste....then again I tasted Taiwanese Sacha in there, but who cares, the dish tasted like a walk down memory lane, when an OG Taiwanese owner chef used to make sizzling black pepper beef back in the late 90s in Rowland Heights California down at the food hall in Pacific Plaza. And that's when I popped the question to the owner, "You Taiwanese?" And he responded "Teochew," which is close enough. The cultures are mutually intelligible with the Southern Min of Fujian. And many of uncles peers are from Taiwan, which explains his Mandarin accent. As for the egg drop soup. Apparently Uncle doesn't like Egg Drop soup, so he intentionally fails at making egg drop soup-- too much eggs clustered together, soup base is to gelatinous because of Tapioca Starch overdose. I would increase the Green Giant Sweet Canned Corn, pop in more white pepper and msg. Uncle clearly gave up. I know he's withholding his potential. General Tso's is almost perfect, with the breading not completely holding together for an even crunchy crispy. The dried red chillis elevated the entire dish with the intense heat. Thus far, Canaan Restaurant down in West Covina, California has the Orange Beef, General Tso's down to the tee. In my memories, the General Tso's from Grand Gardens in Billings Montana prepared by the Patriarch Chef Alice's Dad is a trip worthy meal. Miss those days living up in Billings. Alas the Triple Delight. A mix of various vegetables, tossed in a citrus Chasu bbq pork brown sauce, but with a heavy garlic base, if you like a savory pungent throw Everytime in chop-suey style chicken, beef and shrimp dish, this would be a good option. Although taste wise, id give it a 4/5, not the best triple delight I've had, but fair enough. I am too full. Uncle and Auntie are a gift to this community. COVID really hurt every Chinese Restaurant Owner Operator. The same issues they deal with, every other Chinese restaurant across the United States is also dealing with it. They are of a generation, that will likely take the art of American Chinese Cuisine with them into retirement and the days of Chinese American restaurants outnumbering McDonalds will become a bygone age. A lack of workers willing to step into the high octane stressful restaurant business, a lack of cooks willing to grind their skills behind a wok, the lack of young people willing to take on a server position. These are the very same troubles facing every Chinese restaurant in the United States. And so the only option is to settle, run a 2 person show, with no additional help.....where have I seen this picture? Last week in Memphis at the Hong Kong Restaurant. My advice? Visit for Chinese American restaurants; they might all just disappear. Millennials won't step up to the plate and taking over legacy restaurants. Gen X is too busy saving for thier 401Ks...Gen Zs will never step foot into a kitchen unless you paid them 20,000 USD a month...our society is f*ckt...

This place used to be Hong Kong Buffet until about 2 years ago when Jade Buffet took over. It…read morewasn't until recently did I know about its existence when Ho Wah closed and people on social media were discussing the alternative for Chinese food. The ambience was awful. The old buffet stalls were still there with empty boxes in the back. The good news is they offer authentic dishes according to their menu. There is one page on the menu that lists authentic dishes from 3 different regions in China: Northeastern, Sichuan, Cantonese, plus a selection for special noodle soups.   What threw me off immediately besides the ambience was their menu pricing. It's understandable that prices have gone up faster than they can print due to inflation. But what about the single copy of menu they taped on top of the ordering counter? Can't they simply scribble the corrections on it?!  Now they finally did have some newly printed menus but they wouldn't give out that version unless you specifically ask. See my photo showing them side-by-side. You can see there're many updates.  Unfortunately, even the newer version had the wrong price for the dish I ordered. I ordered Z8 - Chinese Twice-Cooked Pork. All versions of the menu said $13.75, but the owner lady said it's now $15.99. OK.  The order took 20 minutes to prepare.  The serving size was small considering the price. It's the smaller 6" round takeout box. This dish's supposed to stir-fry with leeks, but cabbage and green pepper were used instead. There goes the authenticity.  Granted, the taste for the double-cooked pork belly was on point.  So overall a bit of a disappointment but I'm not writing it off as yet. There are a few more dishes I wanted to try that you simply can't get anywhere in the area.

Each protein costs $3-5 each so if you want to add a second protein, expect the price to go up significantly. I definitely prefer Poke Bowl 2016 in Kenilworth White Marsh/The Avenue because almost all of the toppings are included in the price and getting 2 proteins in a large bowl is only $17. Here, everything is sort of nickel and dimed. The bowl was pretty good - the owner gave me spicy mayo on the side for free when I asked which helped the taste. I do wish there was more salmon/protein given - it was more rice and veggie heavy. I do want to come back to try the sushi burritos which is what they are known for.

It was not too busy but not empty either for a sunday night. I got the beef chow mein. This is basically broad rice noodles. Comes with carrots, bean sprouts, and onions. This was, I think $12. This was pretty good. I mean, I had some minor improvements like, I think the noodles were a little thick and maybe there could be more meat/salt less oil. But overall I think this was well stir fried. There were onions and other things in this so I was happy with it. The portions were also great, so I took home some. Now why I think this place is great is they have good service. I got complimentary jasmine tea and these wonton chip things with sweet and sour sauce. I was a little suspicious at first because some places just charge you without asking but this place earned my trust. Overall a pretty good value place, especially for takeout, with attentive staff.
