Kudos for host to seat us as soon as possible (it was Father's Day and they said reservations are always best). I've been wanting to try this place for the longest time and wasn't sure of the process. Took about an hour to seat but I understood and respected their process. Called the prime rib and shrimp as it was recommended by many and had no regrets. Also ordered the emperor and empress jars for ma and ba. Many things ingredients you can't find at many places. Everything was beautifully and uniquely presented. Cleanliness, atmosphere, staff was on par.

I'm a little underwhelmed by this experience. The Michelins led me to believe the food would be standout, but while good, I could not say anything was exceptional or anything I would crave. The restaurant itself is a bit loud with conversation and flattering of dishes, which gives it more an authentic Chinese restaurant feel, rather than an upscale one. The decor has some pretty elements, and they try with tableware details like fancy water glasses, and ceramic chopstick holders, and plated, small portion family style dishes. They claim small portions are appropriate for 2-3 people. Some prices seem reasonable, but the sizes appear larger in the fancy book like menu than what actually appears. The waitress tries to confirm the order but it is hard to hear. She brings out the smoked duck breast which we send back. We ordered the smoked korobuta pork ribs. Not a big deal. When trying the pork ribs, the sauce doesn't quite compliment the meat. It is a bit too sweet for my palate. The little fruit that comes with it as a garnish however is divine. Subtly sweet, which a bit of hardiness to its texture. Next comes the shrimp. I like the sauce on this one better. It compliments the shrimp. The shrimp is cooked perfectly, and the shell remains. Not bad, but I'm not a fan of eating she'll. Next the Beijing Zhajiang noodles and Pan fried beef buns come out at the same time. The server warns us the juice in the buns is very hot. The server asks if we want our noodles mixed. I agree. The distribution of ingredients is not even. Not everyone can try the red pickled bulbs. The quality of the meat is higher, more flavorful, and more plentiful than what typically comes with zhajiang mien. Overall, the dish is priced well, unique, and executed well. The pan-fried buns are oddly soft and doughy. The skin hardly has any crispiness to it. The juice and meat filling is good, but is it exemplary? Probably not. At over $5 a bun, I prayed my son didn't drop his soup spoon sized bun. Din tai fung and shao may still has better soup buns. Finally, on to the dessert-- the Lucky Koi milk pudding. At $8 this dish was presented well, pretty, and good. It is lighter in texture than some milk pudding I have tried. A little cheesiest and milkier. The syrup is subtle and compliments the flavors well l. This was a nice finish to the meal. Overall, I was oddly satisfied at the end of the meal even though the portions weren't what I was used to. It was a pleasant experience with no wait. The prices were far more reasonable than I expected. But none of the items screamed Michelin star. If no one told me, I would just think it was an experimental restaurant.

It feels so good to be back dining in SGV, this time at one of its very own Michelin Guide recommended restaurants. Quick notes: - Wednesday at 1:00pm, no wait for a party of 4 + baby but the restaurant was decently filled up. - Parking in the plaza is always crazy, but underground had plenty of spots available. We ordered two separate combos and two items a la carte. Initially, we were worried it wouldn't be enough for 4 adults but we actually ended up taking leftovers home. Combo A was $56 for two people, consisting of Crispy Shrimp (4pcs), Na's Braised Kurobuta Pork Belly (bowl), Stir Fried Water Spinach (plate). Our favorite here was the crispy shrimp, a sweet & savory ...crispy shrimp. We ate it with shell on and all. The only downside is that it was only 4 pieces. Boo. Combo C was $68 for two people, consisting of diced black pepper honey angus beef (4pcs), chili kurobuta pork w/ cauliflower (plate), and braised chinese yam (bowl). Our favorite here was the black pepper honey angus beef, which was basically bo luc lac, on steroids. The honey was perfectly caramelized on the edges and the black pepper came in second to set up a one two punch combo. We ordered Chef Su's Pork Feet Jelly and Dry Braised Black Cod Fish with Chili Sauce a la carte. The former was good but forgettable but the latter was delicious and definitely memorable. The pork feet jelly was a fun experience but there was no serotonin dump when I took my first bite, which told me all I needed to know. The same could NOT be said for the fish, as there was an immediate flavor explosion and subsequent serotonin/endorphin dump was very satisfying. So all this raving about the food, why only 4 stars? Good question! The service was ...weird. When they did help us, they really helped us. But at the same time we had to flag down servers multiple times to get refills or to take dishes away. Food runners also dropped off food with barely a mention of what the dish was. But they were nice when they did eventually come around to help... so... yea, weird. Yelp 2024 Adventures - 6 of ??

Walking in here, I felt I was transported to another city, somewhere in China. The decor is a classic, traditional Chineses restaurant with wooden decorations, classic red walls, and traditional Chinese instruments decorated the walls. The servers are attentive, kind and cordial. We were served by June and she was fantastic. Loved her humor, professionalism and service. The menus have photos and it's really great to visualize the kind of dish you will be served rather than be short of expectations of what the dish is. Really great for those who are not familiar with traditional Chinese dishes. Now on to the food! We started off with the Empress and Emperor's Jar (soup). I really enjoyed the Empress's jar. It was like a stew. The soup base is the delicious golden soup with lots of delicious ingredients. The Emperor's Jar was a smaller portion, delicious, but was kinda pricey for the portion given. Next we had the pea sprouts with enoki mushrooms. Surprisingly, the vegetables were fresh and stir fried well. It wasn't over or undercooked. Also, we were able to taste the umami flavor and was very tasty. Lastly, we finished with the beef ribs. This was delicious. It was juicy, soft, and flavorful. Dipping it in the pepper sauce made it so much more delicious. Overall, we enjoyed our meal here. I would probably skip on the soup since it was pricey for the portions. I can't wait to come back to try other dishes.

When you think of good Chinese food, you typically think more of a "hole-in-the-wall" sort of place rather than a high-end restaurant. I'm also pretty skeptical about high-end Chinese restaurants because I worry the food will be very Americanized and not worth the price. One of my coworkers recommended Bistro Na's and my dad happened to be visiting from out-of-town to celebrate his birthday so it was the perfect opportunity to come. I made a reservation for lunch on Saturday at 12 PM and we were seated right on time. The interior is absolutely gorgeous. They present a textbook of a menu which has pictures of every dish. Sometimes the chinese to english translations can get a bit strange so it's nice to have a picture for reference! We ordered a bunch of dishes but the stand-out dishes were the crispy shrimp, braised pork belly, prime angus rib, and the fried mixed mushrooms. You seriously cannot go wrong with anything on the menu, so just try whatever looks good to you! We also ordered a hot crystal pear drink to share for the table, which was very refreshing. The presentation of all the dishes was very nice and the service was excellent. While the prices are definitely on the higher side, I think it is a great place to experience at least once for a special occasion.

Yum! I really enjoyed the tofu skin salad (slight Szechuan chili taste) and the black cod with chili. The braised pork belly is also a popular item there.. the crab was good but the green scallion/ginger sauce wasn't anything too special. I wanted to try the pumpkin flavor but it was $20 extra :(( next time!! June and Maggie provided such great service for us!

This was a fantastic restaurant with incredible service and an extravagant vibe. We were a group of four and we ordered a wide array of dishes including lobster, black cod tofu, braised beef, fried rice, a few vegetable dishes, and chicken mushroom soup. We also tried to order the Alaskan king crab and the server was kind enough to know that it would not work with what we've ordered already and the amount of people we had (8lbs of crab would've been way too much... ) We would definitely come back here again and we will come with back up so we can try the crab! Also, 13/10 service for Tim!

Authentic Chinese Restaurant. Great food, great atmosphere. Come and have fun with family and friends.

The shrimp was really good and very recommended! And the pear soup is good and makes me nostalgic to my home.
