Mietta's Review
This Chinatown institution has changed hands. Ken Louey founded it in 1971 when its was one of the first Chinese restaurants to make a grand statement. It is famous for incredibly attentive service and consistently good, traditional food. The wine list is reasonable, limited but not over priced and there are some impressive special occasion wines. The new owners intend to make some modest improvements but to keep the grand old dame more or less as she is.
