Pakwo’s Kitchen

When I was back home visiting, my parents took us here and it is amazing Cantonese food!!! So authentic and delicious!!!It gets pretty busy so would recommend a reservation on weekend evenings if possible especially if you have a bigger group.The scallops are a MUST!!!! They're so fresh and the vermicelli is so flavorful.The frog pot was also delicious - the sauce has a little bit of a kick. I forgot to take a picture of the tofu pot but that was so good with rice as well.The chicken was really flavorful and a great tip from the owner: save the bones and cook some congee with it!Amazing restaurant!!

Absolutely the best authentic Cantonese Chinese restaurant we've been to in a very long time. We asked my mom where she wanted to go for her birthday dinner and she chose this restaurant. She called ahead of time to order many amazing dishes. When we got there, the restaurant is very unassuming. Then (nice) cars start pulling up and you can just tell that all the patrons in there are seeking very high end and authentic food ordered ahead of time. We saw several walk-ins turned away because I over heard the owner telling them that most of the reservations made have pre-ordered their selections for the evening. This place is expensive. But it is ultimate fine dining. You don't need to dress up. You just need to make a reservation, pre-order your entrees and go enjoy an amazing Cantonese cuisine. We cannot wait to go back. There is plenty of parking because they are in a business park. Give them a try. You will be amazed and impressed. My brother who is a major foodie was pleasantly surprised. Now, we don't have to drive to Monterey Park or Rowland Heights for amazing Chinese food.

As authentic as you can get with Cantonese food. Moving here from the east coast, it's been hard to find the flavors I grew up with. For those reviewers claiming this is not authentic, perhaps they haven't visited this particular Canton region the food is from. The front of the house was so helpful in choosing dishes and she even asked if we wanted the menu ahead of time so we can order beforehand. Their dishes are made fresh so they take some time to come out, be patient! It's totally worth it. Certain dishes need a day or two to order ahead of time. The steamed fish and other seafood, they try to pick up the same day they're making it so it's fresh.

Amazing Cantonese food, fresh ingredients and attentive services. We enjoyed our weekend dinner here.

It's my first time trying this place. I have been looking for this type of food for a long time. They serve a very good, authentic, high quality cantonese food. The menu is very creative and unique. I ordered with Silvia's help and recommendations: - Buddha over the wall: fresh, high quality, the sauce is delicate for you to tatste the quality of all the ingredients.- Fried swab: rich flavor, the skin is super crunchy outside, flavorful and juicy inside. - Cuttlefish pot: cuttlefish is crunchy, sweet, full flavor, not too much oil, very fresh.- Fried eggplants with fermented fish: this is a very authentic dish, and not for everyone. If you can appreciate the unique taste and smell of fermented fish, you should try this. This is full flavor, goes well with rice, very creative. - Tomato beef soup: clean broth, delicate, very healthy, high quality, very well balance with my other dishes.Overall, this is such a unique dining experience. The service is great, the food come out in a well time manner. I would definitely come back to check out other dishes.

I felt that the food and the experience was over rated. Went for a bday celebration and the food was not a hitter. We order a couple of items noodles and seafood items as well as pot dishes. Bill came out to be 300It felt like it was wanna be Cantonese food for white people.

Food is delicious but a lil pricyyyyy but everything was absolutely FIREEEEEEEEEE. Like every dish was amazinggg bc usually you only go to a spot for that 1-2 amazing dish 1. Coconut soup with chicken - literally chicken coconut soup in a coconut . Sooooo coconutttyy but sooo good. Came with that black chicken 2. Pidgeon - was like a mini Beijing roasted duck but that skin was extraaaa crispyyyyy and there was really little meat but it was soooo juicyyyy3. Shredded chicken 手抓雞 - if you like that hainan chicken trend, this is 50 million times better than that shit you've been consuming. They have some scallion oil throughout the whole chicken and it's so soft and juicy. Like I've had hainan chicken that's dry af but everyone be calling it juicy. Nananaa- you gotta see that drip drip to call it juicy yooooo. 4. Eggplant in preserved fish- it's literally just garlic eggplant but that sauceeeee is addicting with that preserved fish. It's not a fishy flavor but it got that umami saucey thing that everybody wants on crack. So good with rice I could eat bowls of this shit.

This place is small and cozy but the food is amazing!! The chef even came out to check in and us and asked how the food tasted!! Highly recommended and the food was delicious!! I would so come back to this place with my friends and families.

Excellent Hong Kong style food cooked to order in a small 6 table restaurant in a light industrial park. We had winter melon soup, fresh crab with green onions and ginger, beef with radish, tofu stew with spicy peppers, carrots, and mushrooms, and Chinese watercress with garlic and ginger. Red bean soup for dessert. All outstanding, as was service! Not fancy. Quiet. Clean. Reservations required. Hard to get in. Worth trying.

Food is so so..... but very expensive. They don't allow the clients walk in but still take very long to serve the food. It's a very small Cantonese restaurant. I don't think it's worth to try.
