Probably the best beef chow fun in Chinatown, excellent quality from the noodles to the beef. I grew up eating Cantonese food in Canton and yet, this is top notch. And you can see families and seniors eating here, which already indicates how good this place is

Hands down THE BEST spot in Chinatown. The downstairs atmosphere is unmatched. The food is 10/10 and the service will keep you coming. Those standing in line next door are missing out on this hidden gem.
