Hua Qian Dai Grilled Fish 花千代烤魚
I tried this spot on Christmas Day, and I am super impressed! - Food: we got the house spicy fish and it was delicious! Very balanced flavor with super tender fish. You can adjust the spice level but medium was the perfect amount of spice for me. The eggplant dish was also incredible, the sauce was to die for. We also really enjoyed the soup and dumplings, though the fish was definitely the star of the show. The food we ordered was plenty for 3 people. - Service: there was no wait at 6pm on Monday. very attentive servers who are happy to give menu recommendations. Easy to navigate menu with photos. Also takeout is packaged really well- if you order a full dish to go it comes packaged with a burner to keep the fish warm! Overall, great spot for small & large parties (there's private larger dining rooms in the back). I will be coming back to try their other fish flavors!
I am a regular customer. I always order fresh/live grilled fish, but sometimes I feel the quality is not consistent. I am not an expert of fish. But, is it normal if a live grilled fish has very loose skin? The skin falls off very easily as shown in the pictures. I’d love to increase the rating if I was wrong. I would be very disappointed if it is not a live grilled fish, cause the live one is more expensive.
Beijing Duck House
This place deserves more than 5 stars. I’ve been ordering from here since the pandemic and the quality has only gotten better. Peking duck is delicious and I genuinely believe they have the best Peking duck on the California coast.
First thing first… we tried to order the 6-7 set menu dinner which supposed to give 1.5 Peking Duck, but they said it’s either 1 or 2. I felt we got ripped off because it's on the menu but they wouldn't honor it for whatever reason. 土豆 - is a local dish. Vinegar stir fry potatoes. It's ok. Acquired taste. 酸菜粉絲 - Actually not bad, sour but I enjoyed it. 大盤雞 - My favorite dish. The chicken and potatoes was flavorful. The noodle was too soggy but taste good with the sauce. Peking duck - It's actually very good. Some of the skins were so crunchy it almost melt in your mouth but they're are other pieces more tough and the meat is a bit overcooked. Sweet and sour pork - the batter was crunchy when it first came out. Then get soggy. It's not bad. Kung Pao chicken - Good flavor, not bad. Tofu - pretty plain. Sauce on the salty side. I've to say I was disappointed when they couldn't give us the 1.5 duck. I assume they have a legitimate reason. However, after a few dishes, I was pretty satisfied for the food is pretty good. It's a Peking home style cooking. One interesting aspect... No tips required.
