Buyer beware! The food was good although wasn't the best. We had some noodles, fish cakes, and you tiao. However, when we finished eating, it was time to pay, and they told us they only accept cash. We asked where they said that, and they rudely said on the menu, in sneakily hidden print. It took us a while to get to the bank and get cash to pay.

The food was good. Could have used a few more wontons. Not much difference between regular vs large size. Stingy on the tea refills-you have to ask. It's not automatic.Hygienically I prefer my server not touch the portion of the cup where I put my lips; especially since the server and busser are the same person. Just imagine picking up 3 plastic cups, that have no handles, with one hand.BTW: Cash ?? only! NO ??.

A very small restaurant that had surprisingly quick service and good staff. Had the sliced beef with ginger and onion. This dish was ok. I personally would have liked a bit more sauce. Enjoyed that it came with a vegetable (3/4 of a bok choy). Also, ordered the beef brisket. That was pretty tasty. Really enjoyed the sauce. Put on some chili oil too. Was not a fan of the soup that came with the dishes. It was a bit too fishy.

Mike's is a mainstay of the ID. The menu may seem plain, but don't let that fool you - the different combinations of noodles and toppings come with different garnishes and broths. Not sure what you're ordering? Just ask, or if you're feeling adventurous, order it blind. Nothing is a poor choice as each simple bowl comes serving of comfort. Noodles are fresh and firm, and the broths, especially the beef, are deep. Recommend the sui kau, which is a pork and shrimp dumpling, as here they make it with whole shrimp!

Excellent and authentic wonton noodle soup. I also ordered kidney and liver dish, have to say it's the best outside of Richmond, Canada.

A solid find. Only —Cash — Low key exterior where without accurate Yelp I would have not been enticed to enter. Very friendly service, huge Cantonese cuisine kitchen behind glass doing substantial deliveries, very clean, even a very nice bathroom that surprises w spa aroma soap. I tried the egg noodle soup with wantons, squid balls and brisket. Everything tasted great yet the wantons were a best —special blend of meat taste first, then shrimp as very pleasurable to eat and taste. The lady had congee w black chicken. I would definitely return and just avoid the basic noodles — max on the very well cooked broccoli and many wontons.

I went to HK several times, and I think their noodles is pretty local.Btw, cash only! So don't forget to take some cash first.

My friends told me about this place long ago. Finally made the time to try their lunch, glad I did. Plenty of tables available, the lady let me sit wherever I liked.Many choices of congees, reminded me of our family trip at HongKong. I loved their Taro congee!Nice service, great food, appreciated their are NOT using the styrofoam take-out containers!

My friends told me about this place long ago. Finally made the time to try their lunch on a relaxing Tuesday. Plenty of tables available, the lady let us sit wherever I liked. Many choices of congees, but good topping were lacking. I really liked their Taro congee, reminded me of our family trip at HongKong. Nice service, almost prefect food, appreciated they are NOT using the styrofoam take-out containers!

Good noodles and nice quick service. Sui kau and beef brisket is great.
