I still remember my childhood days when my family immigrated in the 90s and would always take us to classic Cantonese restaurants, telling us, “Eat more, big and good food.” Full House brought all those memories back. From the moment you walk in, the large fish tanks, fresh live seafood, and simple, no-frills Chinese design make it feel just like the old days. Generous portions are a must because that’s the Cantonese way. The salt-and-pepper shrimp and lobster can be summed up in one word: fresh. The big pan-fried noodles were perfectly crispy and saucy. The orange chicken reminded me of when my family would say, “Try some LA Chinese food.” And the Cantonese-style filet mignon gave me pure Hong Kong vibes. This quick Chinatown visit felt like stepping back into childhood. After all these years, long-standing Chinese restaurants like Full House still amaze me—classic, timeless, and focused on serving authentic food to generations of immigrants.
