" This restaurant is a hidden treasure. I had the wonton soup and was blown away by how delicate and tasty the dumplings were! They also serve fantastic clay pot rice which rivals those I had in Asia. While the environment might not be the fanciest, the quality of the food speaks for itself. You just can't beat the prices either; we fed a party of five for under $100! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sai Gwan is where I discovered my love for authentic Cantonese food! The noodle dishes are out of this world, and the dumplings are some of the best I've tasted. Service was friendly, but there was a bit of a wait during peak hours, which could deter some. As for the decor, it's nothing fancy, but the food more than makes up for it. Don't miss the clay pot rice! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on previous reviews but was somewhat underwhelmed by the food. The flavors in my wonton and noodle soup were decent, yet I found them lacking the punch I had hoped for. Service was friendly but they seemed understaffed. It's a good spot for casual dining, just don't set your expectations too high. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! Restaurant Sai Gwan is a throwback to old-style Chinese dining. Their dumplings are handmade and delicious, bursting with fresh ingredients. We also tried their famed homemade noodles, which were indeed fresh and flavorful. Staff members were friendly, adding to the warm atmosphere despite the no-frills decor. Regardless of the space, the food is what keeps me coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner at Restaurant Sai Gwan with several friends, and we were all impressed by the flavors and authenticity of the dishes. The homemade noodles stood out as they had a delightful texture that perfectly complemented the broth and fillings of the dumplings. We ordered a variety of dishes, including hot pot rice and roasted meats, and they brought back memories of dining in authentic restaurants in Asia. The atmosphere could use some modernization, as it felt a bit cramped and dated, but the food definitely made up for that. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" This little gem tucked away on the edges of Chinatown offers authentic Cantonese cuisine that is hard to come by. The wonton noodle soup was incredibly comforting and packed full of flavor. The fact that everything is made fresh in-house speaks volumes about the quality they maintain. We left feeling satisfied and excited to return. Highly recommend their shrimp dumplings and Hong Kong milk tea! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is good but the wait times can be excessive, especially during busy hours. I enjoyed the noodle dishes and the dumplings, but there's an undeniable lack of consistency across different visits. Sometimes I’d experience service that felt rushed or not as friendly. I think this place has potential, but they need to work on improving the dining experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)
