Disappointing takeout. I got the chicken+mushroom clay rice bowl. Not enough sauce so the rice was a big dry lump, the chicken was more gristle than meat, and the meat itself was pretty dry. $20 (with tip) and I'm still hungry - just not hungry enough to eat dry white rice.Maybe it's better dine-in; the place was pretty busy : /

Lots to unpack, let's see don't order the pork chop because it comes boiled, don't order the egg rolls because I have no idea what the hell was in them (mashed potato texture) the calamari appetizer was surprisingly chicken (which is what my friend had ordered, it was just so chewy I thought....) and just about everything but the coca cola I ordered was a huge let down. Sure they're open late but do you really want to spend your money on the kind of food better suited for a food fight? I took the leftovers but inn the end I couldn't consciously give it to a homeless person, they have it bad enough at it is.

Always fun eating here. Huge menu with tons of tasty options for any meal. We came in for dessert, mentioned it was a friends bday and they surprised us with a cute, and tasty, waffle and bday candle. And they sang. Yay! So kind. We felt the love. And the dessert was fun. Light jelly with fruit and ice cream. The addition of the hot fresh waffle made it perfect and well balanced.

They will automatic added 15% service fee plus additional tips. Plus they will charge $1 fee if you pay by card. Food and service are just ok but overprice.

I love this place. It is so far the most authentic HK style cafe. The food here is very similar to what I got when I was in Hong Kong.My favorite is the baked pork chops with rice. The rice porridge felt a little cheated though, as they used a blender to break the rice, instead of cooking the rice for a long time into a porridge.The rice roll (腸粉) just fixed my craving, very tasty.

I wouldn’t suggest this food to my worst enemy. Tasted worse than microwave food. Not sure how they have a 4./“1.

Lackluster food tbh. Only recommend going here if nothing else is open.

Great food, I really enjoyed the Wonton Soup!!!

Nothing too crazy going on here. Just a good ol Asian cafe/restaurant with a nice vibe. Drinks are hit or miss and food is good but not mind blowing. Will try to come again and see how their desserts are.

Huge menu, delicious food, nicely decorated spot.
