General impression:
Easy parking. Free 1hr validation at nearby parking lot.Seems easy to get a table.Good servers, fast response.Many types of crabs: pepper & salt, butter aka oven roasted, curry, chili, and a couple others.Good soup, uses the Cantonese kind of dried fish maul. Large bowl for a small order.Very very good crab. Fresh and meaty, with really really nice sauce. Garlic smells wonderful, permeats the entire crab. Very thoughtful in how the sauce is applied to the crab too. Instead of crab dipped in sauce, you get crab cooked in sauce.Really good garlic noodles. Slightly browned, had to be cooked in a wok. Not as sweet as Crustacean, but not as cloying or oily too. Same chewy texture. Large portion.Note:Prefer here to Crustacean. Can make a mess without worried about making a scene, which is how a crab should be eaten. Will be back again.
