Tai Pan House

"We so lucky find this restaurant at late time around 8 pm. Empty tables and chairs & pick up mostly time during late time. Good taste but save for tomorrow that is kinda okay depending on what you choose. Not cup of sodas provided. Only soda cans. Providing free hot teas. Good service. Plenty space whenever you want to park."

"January 23 update: Soup of the day is star of the show again. Very deep flavor. For the uninitiated, Cantonese soup are almost always slow simmered for hours, and are taken as a mild health tonic not too different in concept from bone broth. That's why it's different every day. Obviously hot dry days and cold wet time you'll want something different. Today is green vegetable and pork neck bones with sweet dates. Firmly recommended. An off menu item was the bamboo leaf wrapped rice dumplings. These are a meal in itself. Take home to simmer in water about 15-20 minutes to heat through, although contents are cooked. To serve unwrap and sprinkle soy sauce to taste. Recommended because it's substantially better and cheaper than what's available in ranch 99. Clay pot rice was fair to good. A layer of crispy crust formed on the pot . Braised pork belly was very good to excellent. Melt in the mouth meat and good seasoning. Sweet and sour pork and poached chicken was above average. Not much wrong but no fireworks, plenty of others offer similar fare. Shrimp chow fun in runny egg sauce fair to good. The sauce was delicious. Singaporean fried vermicelli and braised soft noodles are average. The former too enthusiastic with the curry powder and the latter a little underseasoned. Depends on what you like. Overall recommended. Even with post covid prices it's still great value. Still cheaper than sgv. Original review: Soup of the day and fried noodles my favorite."

"My brother has been telling me to try this restaurant and today he treated us for lunch. The place and ambiance is okay. Overall, it is clean, including the restroom. But we came here for the food and it is amazing. The taste, the serving size, the freshness is all good. This is one of my favorite spots now for Chinese food. Similar to Sam Woo (no longer in business) in Nogales and Gale Ave. Definitely coming back for more."

"Recently visited. This place gives ZERO service. The female owner sat us down (the second group of customers in the entire place) then forgot about us. She went back to her seat and played games on her cellphone behind the front counter (we could hear the game, sounded like slot machine). The counter was so high, from where we sat, we couldn't see the lady = the lady wouldn't be able to see us without coming to us. We waited for 10-15 minutes, finally I had my husband to go get her attention. I honestly started to think she forgot about us. I can understand not getting service/attention if the place was busy, but there were a total of two tables of customers at the time! We ordered. See for yourself, nothing special, seriously. It was pricey compared. I wouldn't mind paying the high price if the service was good and food was good. However, what we've received, it was horrible. My family will not be returning. I will not recommend this place to anyone. I can get much better Chinese food for cheaper with MUCH better service."
