We went with the bone broth, which on its own had a really great rich flavor that only got better as the ingredients were added. The star of the meal for us was the marbled beef and the homemade noodles."

Bernard L. noted, "The food selection we chose for our hot pot coupled with the spices (hot and spicy) were simply tasty. Our host explained the process and was very attentive. This can be a great place to go for a date or with family and friends due to the ambiance."

Good Harvest 大丰收 is a Chinese spot.

Good Harvest 大丰收 offers Chinese and Sichuan cuisine. The menu now features salt-baked soft shell crab, Singapore-style noodles and pork paired with bamboo shoots in wine sauce. 

Good Harvest 大丰收's current rating of 3.5 stars out of 34 reviews on Yelp indicates the newcomer is finding its way, but it's still early days.

Yelper Taylor S., who was one of the first users to visit Good Harvest 大丰收 on Feb. 15, wrote, "The restaurant itself is beautiful and I loved modern look to it. We started with the scallion charpati. It's a super thin fried dough similar but much different than scallion pancakes."

David L. noted, "We ordered a yellow-braised chicken pot and a yin yang pot split between flounder and blue crab. The seafood pot was less impressive. It was a bit blander than we expected. The crab was also good, which was chunked up, lightly breaded and deep fried in the Chinese style."

Good Harvest 大丰收 is open from 4 p.m.–3 a.m. on Monday-Thursday, 4 p.m.–4 a.m. on Friday and 11:30 a.m.–4 a.m. on weekends.
