Well, it certainly is "like no other" as advertised!! It is tucked around a corner across from the Rite Aid on Fair Oaks in a tiny strip mall. Upon entering you will think "this CAN'T be it!!!" Small space with stacks of boxes piled up here and there. Only two or three tables, one taken up by staff. BUT...what it lacked in ambience it made up for in hospitality and the delicious food!!! It is Taiwanese-influence and, I believe, Taiwan owned. Very, very friendly and gracious staff who were all very sweet and helpful. I felt very welcomed, like I was in someone's private home (like when I was in Cuba). The food was very good!!! I ordered the garlic shrimp with broccoli and white rice. My friend ordered grilled salmon with veggies and a "grass" drink. Everything was very tasty!

The place is small and simple The owner has stuff on other tables so it's only a few sit down tables available The food is delicious! Lobster pasta and crab pasta and clam pasta and salmon pasta. The salad and fish my mom orders We've taken all relatives to eat here and everyone loves it here ! Plus we know the owner!!

My lady and I have been wanting to come here since COVID due to their fantastic reviews on various social media platforms, but this establishment was closed for a long while during COVID. Today we finally had the chance to try, and the overall experience was just so so. While the food was pretty good, it was not as good as we had thought from the rave reviews. The long wait time between food and the use of paper plates was quite off putting. We had to request for the side salad that was supposed to come with the sandwich because the server assumed that we didn't want it since we ordered the 3 mushroom salad. Portion-wise, it was just average... had we just ordered 2 entrees we may still be hungry. Many patrons are Taiwanese, probably to support local Taiwanese mom n pop shops. I am adding an extra star to support as well :)

Came here because of its reputation, it’s great? Rock cod was especially delicious!

Came with my mom to have the salmon pasta, my mom had a pedicure appointment next door so they took us in early and paid for our meal and came back after our pedicure. The chef did not want our pasta to sit around so she made us fresh pasta order to have fresh, my mom and I loved it. It was delicious with a hint of spice. This place is back open and it taste just as good. Will come back.

It seems I have passed by this place for decades on my way to Urban Pet. It didn't seem to be open all the times I walked by. It's a little hole in the wall that is easily missed. I was finally able to check this wonderful restaurant out after moving from the area. It was worth the wait.We had their signature Three Mushroom Salad, Salmon Pasta, and Clam Pasta. Everything is cooked in a flavorful broth (my sister saw Swanson's broth being used) without butter, MSG, or shortening. Light and healthy. Their Warm Mushroom Salad is a must have for the table to share. It has enoki, portobello, and button mushrooms cooked in broth served on top of mixed greens and topped with toasted seaweed and sesame seeds. A very tasty salad and would make a nice lunch by itself if you don't want to share.The Salmon Pasta had a generous amount of salmon in a sun dried tomato and basil sauce. The sauce had a slight kick to it, not too spicy at all. The pasta was cooked to al dente. The Clam Pasta came with a creamy wine and basil sauce. Very light and not a heavy dish to make you feel too full. The clams had a nice, fresh briny flavor. This is definitely a restaurant that warrants a return trip. I will try the recommended Lobster Pasta next time. It is only open Tuesday through Saturday so be sure to catch it when it is open. Plenty of parking in the back since it shares the shopping center with Urban Pet and Rite Aid.
IT's OPEN AGAIN! The restaurant you loved pre-COVID is back and better than ever. I had the mushroom salad. Light yet filling. Delicious. I loved it and can't wait to go back and chow down on the salmon pasta. A cool place with a cool vibe.

Such an amazingly delicious meal! Every bite of the lobster pasta and steak sandwich we ordered was immaculate. The portions were filling, and I wanted to go back and order more just because it was so tasty. Everyone who worked there there was very kind. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!

I was surprised at the quality and superb taste. I expected a standard seafood grill but will pleasantly surprise with an Asian American fusion restaurant. We were able to meet the owner, who is also the chef and she cooked a wonderful meal for us. We had a mushroom salad, uni pasta which needs to be order the day before and seafood pasta. The food was amazing and the pasta was perfectly al dente.

This place has been here for decades as a little hole in the wall that if you blink you will miss it. Sits right outside of rite aid in the small attached shopping center manned by the same family for decades. An assortment of really nicely priced and tasty seafood pastas and their crab tofu burger which is the best. Call ahead as a small family business they are sometimes closed on vacation. The crab tofu burger is worth the try. Very friendly family service.
