After hearing numerous comments about how this place has the best Peking duck ever, we decided to stop by one night to give it a try.  We over ordered for just the two of us but we figured it will be worth it.  I personally thought the food was mediocre at best.  The duck was good but VERY oily.  I was very disappointed and will probably not come back again.

I've been eating at Seafood Village for years now but recently it seems the food quality has gone down. The semi-healthy dishes were bland and the unhealthy dishes weren't that great either. My favorites were the scallops and the sea cucumbers. Everything else was not good at all.

Phoenix is known for their desserts but the food is pretty good too! I'm not a huge fan of their chrysanthemum tea, but everything else seems pretty tasty.  It's also open late so perfect for late dinners.

This place is surprisingly pretty good! I’ve never been to a vegetarian restaurant before but it’s definitely a lot tastier than it sounds.

I wasn’t a huge fan of their tofu sausage fried rice

Turnip cakes, pretty good!

I love this place!  Although I think it’s over priced for chinese dumplings and noodles, I keep coming back! I am absolutely addicted to the shanghai rice cake, shrimp fried rice, the sauteed spinach and the xiao long bao. I literally order the same things every time.

Soupy xiao long bao - I personally like the regular ones more. I’m not sure why everyone is always fighting over this one and why it runs out so fast.

I absolutely love taiwanese breakfast. If it weren’t so fattening, I’d probably eat it every day. I came here for breakfast over the weekend since I’ve been craving this for the past month.

We came here for lunch the other day since I’ve been craving noodles. I love how they make their own noodles by hand. I also like the green pickled side that they provide. I’m not exactly sure what it is but I know that it’s very good.

I came here for dinner and everything was great! It’s a Chinese/Vietnamese Seafood restaurant and I loved everything we ordered, especially the jumbo prawns and the french style beef cubes (not pictured). We also had the clams which were excellent.
