Editorial Description by Citysearch
The Scene
Diners whet their appetites with a stop by the fish tanks in the entrance--they're brimming with conch, slithering eels and gigantic crabs. Upon ordering any of the house specialties, chances are the waiter will pluck the fish straight from the tank and bring it to the table for the final go-ahead before it hits the sizzling wok. Quiet, dutiful servers ensure water glasses stay filled.

The Food
The seafood specials are quite delicious and, judging by the hordes of Chinese ex-pats munching away, authentically prepared. The Alaskan King Crab, though pricey, is a real treat: Dusted with cornstarch and then pan-fried with a delicate scallion-ginger sauce, the result is exceptional. Other great seafood specials include the conch with black bean sauce and any of the whole steamed-fish dishes. Landlubbers stick to familiar stir-fries and dishes like salted chicken (roasted in salt, yielding notably moist meat).
Rated 8.0 out of 10 by Citysearch.

Bad Service  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By Chris N.

I was at your restaurant on Fridays, March 6th, 2009. It was my first time at the restaurant, the food were very good. I was so disappoint with your service. One of the waiter brought out the calculator to calculate for the tips. He demands that I have to come up 2 more dollars for tips. The total amount spent at the restaurant was $91.06 included tax. I gave out $102 in cash, and I thought that should be enough for the tips. He did not agree with the amount of tips and demand $2 dollars more. I did not know that you guys are demanding the tips to the corrected percentage. Sorry about that, usually the amount of tips are voluntary, not demanding. I feel very disappoint as I will post my review on the board so other people will be aware about the tips percentage that you are demanding. Thank you very much. We won't never come back to your restaurant again even though you have good food. It was such a bad experience for me.

I highly recomment the Peach Farm restaurant.

Pros: None
Cons: Bad Service

STICK WITH THE SEAFOOD 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By dogboy69

I had Chicken & Broccoli and it was nasty. It had fatty pieces of chicken, mushroom, sugar snap peas, carrots and broccoli. I don't know how you can call this Chicken & broccoli. The person I went with got a shrimp dish which was ok. Her dish was brought out about 10 minutes before my meal was ready. I am sorry I went to this restaurant.

Pros: Shrimp was OK
Cons: Service & chicken or whatever it was.

hidden gem for lunch! 4 Star Rating - Very good

By freewilly7

wouldn't think of walking into a formal-looking "dinner restaurant" (where you'd order several dishes as in full-course dining) when all you want is a quick, casual rice-dish kind of meal. was brought in by a colleague during lunch one day and found that this place actually has lunch menu. big portion of rice/noodle dishes that start from $5.50 up. it's good for two meals (at least for me) and it even comes w/soup! great find!
:)

Pros: excellent lunch deal
Cons: parking might be difficult
