A busy Chinatown Cantonese spot with standout duck, dim sum and strong value when ordered carefully, but service consistency, automatic charges and occasional quality misses keep it from being a safe blind buy.
Haozhan delivers solid food quality anchored by reliably excellent duck, dim sum, and roast meats, but inconsistency across the broader menu and uneven service attentiveness prevent a higher grade. The Chinatown location offers genuine neighborhood appeal, though the functional space lacks distinctive design. Strong signature dishes and loyal following support a grade B assessment, though execution gaps keep it from grade A territory.
One caveat: A meaningful minority of diners report rude, rushed or inconsistent service, especially at busy times.
