The food here is really, REALLY legit. Baked seafood rice is so so so on point. Best I've ever had. Not oily, fresh quality seafood, broccoli, and the most amazing cream sauce. It's higher quality food than you'd get at another Asian cafe. It's a little pricey for what it is, but it is 100% worth it. Also good are the mango tofu fa and the mango & pomelo sago.
Do NOT come here if you are in a rush. In fact, only come here if you if you have time to spare. I usually wait at least 10-15 min for a dessert and 20-30 min for a hot dish. ORDER EVERYTHING UPFRONT. It gets busy and you'll be glad you did.
The lady who is here appears to work alone or maybe with one other person at most, which is impressive. It has never affected the quality or taste of my food. She is definitely standoffish and seems cold/impatient at times but over my decade of coming here, honestly she's gotten so much better over the years. She cracks a smile and a joke every now and then. That is a HUGE improvement.
Overall I'm loving the new spot, it's a lot more spacious with easier parking than the first location. I look forward to coming here with my friends to catch up and enjoy some great food/dessert! -

Oh boy where do I start. Very small restaurant, 6 tables. Awkward seated wooden booths, you sink down in the seat. They charge you extra for every little thing. Doesn't turn on the heater, must wear jacket while eating in winter. One chef in the kitchen, takes forever for dishes to come out. Sells everything under the sun, none of whic are authentic: HK food, Korean, Japanese, ramen, western, etc. all mediocre.
Portions are small. Some dishes are very overpriced.
Cash only. -

Okay, come here if you want tasty food...but be prepared to wait a long time for your food. The service is very slow but that's because there is a one-woman-show going on. The owner is the server, cook, boba drink maker, busser and cashier all-in-one!
Our family of six arrived around 6 p.m. There were three other customers already seated inside this tiny restaurant. They serve a hodge podge of many cuisines but primarily Thai, Chinese, Indian. Lots of curry offerings, clay pot and ramen, "spaghetti"... Our orders included Pork Belly Clay Pot ($12.95), Basil spinach noodles w/tomato ($11.95), Baked pork chop w/potatoes ($15.95), Beef brisket w/tofu, ($15.50), Shrimp Ramen, and appetizer plates of Roti and peanut sauce ($4.95) and Pork Belly over asian greens ($8.50). My husband was the first to receive his food...35 minutes after ordering. My niece was the last to receive her food...45 minutes after my husband got his order!
During our visit we watched the owner/cook/server continually disappear behind the high counter, as blenders whirred and pots clanging, to miraculously reappear to serve one plate at a time to the lucky recipient. I started to bet who would be the next person to be served. I started to feel bad for each succeeding dinner guest who came in, knowing they wouldn't be eating for a very long time.
All that being said, the food was very good. It smelled very good. It came out piping hot and presented beautifully. Just don't come with a large group if you expect all to eat at the same time. It ain't gonna happen.
It's CASH ONLY!!!
Tip: Arrive when they first open at 5 p.m. if you want fairly speedy service. -

First of all, this place only opens from 4-11 pm. There's only one lady that works there all the time (believe she's the owner). We really enjoyed everything we ordered. The almond cream is a great decaffeinated drink. Milk tea is good but not warm enough!
They also offers lot of H.K bake rice so that you can have dinner and dessert all in one place! Have not try the baked rice yet but the portion looks decent.
The reason why I give a 4 stars is because the service here is extremely slow! So don't come here if you are hungry or on the clock! -

This is the Thursday daily deal comes with a drink! I am that kind of foodie aim for good food not the decoration or service. People rate it low Cz of the service they don't know what is authentic and they don't value that. I will always be a big fan for food that heals my homesick. Also the quality of the food Is flawless!
