The Scene – This not-so-subtle urban spread boasts two floors of brightly lit tables in a sleek, sparsely decorated dining space. This 250-seat restaurant stays busy from morning till night. Surprisingly, Ton Kiang is still manageable and sedate compared with some of the Bay Area's truly gigantic dim sum parlors. – – The Food – Best known for Hong Kong-style dim sum, there's also a Hakka-focused menu offered at dinnertime. Highlights include minced squab with lettuce leaves and velvety salt-baked chicken. Specialties such as delicate seafood clay-pot casseroles are…

pricy, right?

by SalC

We ordered crispy whole fried fish that costed $20.  Wow, pricy, right?

Also ordered crispy fried skinny noodles with vegetables, white rice (and we received a very stingy portion), sizzling rice vegetarian soup (big mistake, seafood version is loads better), and egg custard tarts.  They gave 3 tarts per order, but by goodness were they tiny!  3 tarts combined is still less and smaller than 1 normal sized tart.

Our bill was disproportionally larger than expected from a Chinese restaurant.  We could have eaten Japanese with top of the line sushi at those rates.  An hour later, we were hungry again.

Last night's dinner was a stand-out. Miraculously!

by pianorenee

I've eaten here several times, but last night's dinner was a stand-out. Miraculously!

We ordered Sizzling Rice Soup, deep fried taro and potsticker dim sum, a fried noodle dish with veggies and roast pork, white rice, and a mushroom with okra dish.

All were very good! A very good thing too is that a lot of the food was quite al dente, especially the vegetables, so you don't get the feeling the stuff has been sitting around for a while.

Terrible!

by winterangel

I have never written a review before but my family had the worst experience here with the owner that I have to say something about this place. We didn't even dine in, but ordered take out. Since we made a large order, we wanted to check and make sure everything we ordered was included and nothing was missing. The owner (or I'm assuming he was) wouldn't even let us check our order. He rudely told us everything is there, and if something was missing he will cover the cost. Since we couldn't check our order, we took the food and left. When we got home, we realized in fact they did forget one of our orders. We called back to let him know, and he accused us of being dishonest and hung up on us. What AWFUL ATTITUDE, SERVICE, AND BLATANT DISRESPECT TOWARDS CUSTOMERS! And the food was just OK. We will never give this restaurant our business again!
