Occasion: In celebration of a bday!

Salt and Pepper Crab

Absolutely delicious! One of the best tasting crabs in the city. Not all Chinese restaurants can compare in the way R&G prepares their CRAB! MUST TRY! Definitely pricier than most Chinese restaurants, but it's totally worth it for the quality.

Steamed eggs with clams

Growing up, I've had steamed eggs at home, but it doesn't compare to R&G's steamed eggs. Texture was perfect; as soft as soft tofu. It slipped right out of the spoon and melted in my mouth. Flavor was awesome and the clams added a kick to it. Never thought a dish with this combination would be so good.

Walnut Prawn

Not your typical authentic Chinese dish, but you're eating with 4/5 ABC's. Definitely a dish that is ordered by ABC's. VERY good. Walnuts were sweet, crunchy and delightful. Prawns were nice and big and not smothered with too much mayo. I like!

Braised E-fu noodles

Very traditional dish for birthday celebrations, especially those who are older. These noodles represent longevity, which is why this dish is usually ordered at birthdays. It was a good filler in between meals. It was good, but not great. It lacked meat and reminded me of a vegetarian dish.

Three Treasures with Black bean sauce

had eggplants, stuffed tofu, and pepper

Very popular chinese stirfry! I love ordering this dish. One of my favorite dishes to order whenever I am at a Chinese restaurant because I love tofu and I love eggplants. This place did not fail on this dish at all. I was SOOO pleased. Eggplants were fresh and cooked to perfection, you can just tell when you bite into it. Tofu was stuffed with shrimp...DELICIOUS! and there were peppers, which I am not a fan of. But it's ok, I always eat with people who would be more than happy to eat whatever is left over.

Chicken with ginger and garlic sauce

To my surprise, very good. I usually like to pick at all the other food but the chicken. I usually just get once piece, but nope, not this time. I reached for a second and maybe have even reached for a third piece. Why? because I love their ginger garlic sauce and the meat was juicy and very tender. Loved it!

Minced garlic with snowpeas

We needed to have at least one veggie dish. It was good. Considering that I almost always order this dish at chinese restaurants and having parents who like to eat heathy (lots of veggies) I've tried this at many, many many restaurants. I must admit that this is one of the restaurants who prepares it perfectly. Some places the veggie is too salty, too sweet, too mushy, to garlic or the texture would be off. But this place made me like veggies even more. YAY
