Came on a Sunday night and there was a long line. The wait is well worth it. Definitely one of the most delicious Chinese restaurants in the bay area. The wings are a must as it has a reputation for being the best. All the other dishes we ordered were also so good, we loved everything! A favorite at the table was the Cherry pork which is very tasty and was pretty comparable to the chicken wings. The dry black bean noodles is also a must but overall everything was delicious and you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

Update 1/10/25: I really wanted some good tasty wings. I did a Google search for hrs and found barely anything. A bit a of transparency.. I'm from Brooklyn and I really was looking for Chinese wings like what I reminded. However, The Bay had nothing close...lol. So, my wife and I decided to go back to this spot because out of all the wings I've had since residing here.. these are so freaking good. We got here around 2 (About a 30 min wait). They close at 3pm and then reopen later for dinner I'm guessing. We ordered chicken wings, string beans and shrimp fried rice. We didn't even talk the whole meal.. that's how good it was lml. This spot hits!! So good as all the reviews have stated. We were not disappointed. If you go... go early. This place was packed and had plenty of people waiting to get in. We got our food to go.

The OG chicken wings haven't changed a bit over the past 15 years I've been coming here. High in fat and MSG but oh so delicious. You can make same day reservations for parties of 6 or more if needed.

The fried chicken is definitely a hit! Something you should give a try, The fried chicken looks like a lot, but my boyfriend and I finished all of it, while the other dishes ended up with leftovers. The chicken was so good that the rest felt a bit average by comparison. Be careful with the soup though, it’s way too salty for my taste. The eggplant is good, but quite oily, so it really depends on whether you’re into that. The noodles are solid with a heavy flavor

It's packed and it may take bit to be seated. You write your name and party size on the white board. The dry fried chicken wings are the best chicken wings I've had. Juicy and crunchy with a nice sweet glaze. The green beans, dry black bean sauce noodles, and hot braised chicken were all good but the dry fried chicken wings were the standout!
