I've lived in the Bay Area for 35 years and have been trying out Chinese restaurants for longer than that. I recently bought a Paris apartment and a good friend in Paris suggested we eat here. He's a Bay Area native too. He said it was "really good." I was skeptical. Having had a flat in London for 17 years without finding any exceptional Chinese, I had concluded that Europe just doesn't "get it." Boom. There goes that theory. This place may be the best I've ever had outside of Hong Kong or Singapore. And maybe even better than that. The flavors are fresh, bright, and nuanced. No gloppy cornstarch. Except for one slight misstep (sweet and sour stuck too close to the cliche), everything (on two occasions) was fabulous. Let them bring you what they like. I'd trust them with my stomach. Fabulous. And very reasonable. Location is nothing special. The proprietor is special and speaks great English.
