Shrimp 🦐 is my favorite 😋, looks delicious and well cooked. Quality restaurant. Shredded pork with veggies is another great combination. Good upload.

[@ronniematrix89]

Looks like a well prepared meal with plenty of choices. The tea is always classic. I see some unique food I want to try. It's a good restaurant offering a wide selection of food. Good upload.

The prime rib and fried shrimp looks sooo good!

[@RockstarEater]

Both were my favorites!

[@cafezo87934]

the research that must have gone into opening this restaurant that alone deserves a michelin star

[@sethguest781]

So, you don't have to go all the way to China to sample authentic Imperial cuisine, amazing! Foodies take note, THIS is what you should be into, great food from a time long past, not your typical, everyday fare.

[@SamElle]

We were there a few years ago in Bistro Na. More like Manchurian court food because Qing Dynasty was ruled by foreigners from Manchuria. Good food but I still prefer Cantonese cuisine 😆😆😆

@@RockstarEater Where do you live in LA? My husband still lives on Sam Gabriel Boulevard, but I moved back to Boston already. Not quite used to the air pollution, earthquake and wildfire in LA. I used to bring my kids to Shiki Buffet nearby in Temple City. 👍👍

[@user-jj6mx3tc1g]

Why did you put the Korean owner, Emperor Wanli, in the preview?

[@jkl6868]

Try Longo seafood!

[@RockstarEater]

Sounds good. I'll have to look into that.

[@jng8908]

Hi Steve, can you provide the cost of the meal in all your videos? Thanks.

[@RockstarEater]

It's best to look that up on the website, since prices change all the time due to inflation. Whatever I paid would be outdated within a year.

[@20PINKluvr]

Theyre not cheap-pretty expensive. Probably due to the research and experience

First can I get a shout out please

[@RockstarEater]

Hello!

[@dracokaiser]

Um...we Manchus don’t really eat fish or shrimp. We deal more with red meat dishes like pork, beef, camel, bear, donkey, lamb, game birds, & goat

[@RockstarEater]

Awesome. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!

[@bhmcrumbs1348]

Looks great, except for your chopsticks holding technique is cringeworthy.

[@fredkapp498]

Kitchen not so clean . As in many Asian kitchens. Shame cause its my favorite food . Why do youtubers make over the top facial expressions

[@RockstarEater]

Thanks

[@Alex-qd7ly]

It’s to be entertaining and it makes the video less boring @fred kapp

[@Vibration1129]

Where do you see "not so clean?" That's a huge thing to say.

[@songsenkei]

All restaurants look like that in the back... I don't understand why you think it's not clean.

[@chromberries7329]

It's impossible to keep a kitchen spotless. Looked pretty clean to me.

[@mothdiaries123]

Doesn't look authentic at all lol looks more modern.

[@RockstarEater]

Thanks. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!

[@Jyoo609]

What is considered authentic? This looks like Beijing imperial food to me.
