Great food
They know crab here and manage to prepare the dish in a variety of ways, enhancing the delicate flavor in unique and interesting ways that keep you coming back for more. It's hard to decide on any one menu item because they all look so good. I've enjoyed everything I've tried so far and when I'm finished with one dish I always save the sauce to use it with another dish till it's all gone. It's that good. And the staff is nice and helpful. They appear to appreciate their patrons, which goes a long way with me. I only wish I could afford crab everyday :-) fido's review

Great food and atmosphere
I happened upon this new restaurant while driving south just past Hillsdale Mall on El Camino and decided to stop in for lunch. What a treat! The owner and staff were friendly and inviting and since they specialize in 5 different ways of serving crab I had to give the house specialty a try. The crab was delicious! Perfect blend of garlic and soy spiced perfectly to enhance the delicate flavor of the crab while never overpowering it. I also sampled the Lumpia, and my friend had a wonderful baked white fish which we enjoyed along with their delicious mango iced tea. I'll definitely come back to try the 4 variations of crab I missed :-)
