Cheap, delicious, HK cafe style food. They get busy during the weekends but the wait is never too bad. They have a lot of variety on their menu with something for everyone. Must get their French toast! Would come back to try the rest of their items!

OH yeah

Ordered from here several times and finally decided to try dine in. It was a little underwhelming, I think I rather stick with take out. The restaurant got really busy during dinner time and they had a steady stream of takeout orders. There were several waiters but they didn't seem too attentive to the dine in customers since they had ALOT of take out orders. Understandable and I didn't mind since we got to place our order pretty promptly. Ordered three dishes and an appetizer. There's a lot of options on the menu but the most popular items were the baked rice dishes. Keep in mind that if you're ordering a baked dish, you'd need to wait longer since they don't prebake their rice. We ordered a black pepper steak on rice, baked Portuguese chicken chop rice and a baked Portuguese pork chop on rice. The black pepper steak on rice was a little bit on the underwhelming side. It came with rice, the pepper steak with sauce, and literally one piece of broccoli. The sauce was on the saltier side and there wasn't too strong of a pepper taste. The steak was done medium well and it was actually pretty good! For $11.50 I can't complain since it's steak and rice. I do wish there was a couple more pieces of broccoli instead of just one since that one piece didn't seem enough to balance out the saltiness from the sauce. The Portuguese pork chop/chicken on rice was delicious. Baked fresh for the table and slightly sizzling on arrival. We were warned it would be really hot so it was advised to wait a few minutes. The chicken chop version seemed to be a lot more meatier than usual. There was a lot of meat (which is a good thing!) but the sauce lacked vegetables. There was almost no vegetables baked into the chicken chop dish aside from two pieces of potato. The pork chop was a little better, there was more vegetables baked into it and there was even broccoli. For both dishes though, the Portuguese sauce seemed to be on the sweeter side today. There also a heavier taste of coconut milk infused into the sauce so we couldn't really taste the other flavors as well. If you don't mind that flavor I would still highly recommend those baked rice dishes. Maybe it was an off day for the kitchen and they ran out of vegetables? Wasn't disappointed, was just expecting a little more since my take out experience was better. Overall not a bad place for a meal. Would still recommend the food and I'd still come back once in awhile but I think take out would be better than dining in.

Steak salad. It’s best not to use meat tenderizer for steak, but it tastes good.

I have been here at least twice, having no complaints. If you have the opportunity, opt to eat in the restaurant rather than takeout. We had ordered chicken and pineapple fried rice, as well as chicken curry noodles. Nobody within my party can tolerate spice well, so we had asked for less spice. Both of these dishes were disappointing. The pineapple fried rice had THREE pieces of CANNED pineapple(hence my three stars), and the lettuce was soggy/wilted. The chicken curry noodles were VERY spicy even though we had asked for very little spice. I am extremely disappointed with the lack of care for customers.

The standard of service provided was below expectations, and the menu options were of average quality. As a result, I do not plan to frequent this establishment again in the future.

There is a huge menu selection it is nice to have many options, but I would much rather they specialize on some. Some dishes are bland and can be improved.The Beef w/ black bean sauce chow fun was bland, though the beef was tender, but I was disappointed and will not order this again. The baked curry chicken on rice is tasted way better compared to the chow fun, it has the right amount of sauce, tender chicken, and decently seasoned while not too heavy. French toast with peanut butter has good presentation, and decent combination of crunchy and soft texture, however, there isn’t a lot of peanut sauce spread between the toast, so it could have been better.Drink selections are decent, they are alright but not impressive.Drinks: Hot HK style milk tea, Coke with ginger, Lemon teaFood: Beef w/ black bean sauce Chow Fun (I believe), French toast w peanut butter, baked curry chicken on riceThere are plenty of seatings inside, also have table for big group.

The service quality was unsatisfactory, and the culinary offerings were mediocre. Consequently, I do not intend to patronize this establishment again in the future.

Restaurant needs to turn up the heat. Customers shouldn’t have to eat their meals wearing their hats and winter coats INDOORS especially when it 32 degrees outside. Not an enjoyable morning meal.

Seating was quick. Came here with a party of 4 and was able to get seated immediately on a weekend. They were busy and seemed like a few parties after mine had to wait a bit. Food was great. We have ordered take out previously and have gotten too much carbs, which we watched out for. The milk tea coffee had a little too much creamer. Overall satisfied with this restaurant!

Called for pick up. Asked if the Supreme noodles come with meat. He said yes. I said ill take it. I got it home and it doesn't. Anything to win that extra few bucks rather than do the honorable thing and keep a repeat customer. Low

You can't even give me a menu. It's been so long since I've been here. You two are blind. . . . No matter how busy you are, you still have to give menus to people who have just arrived. I don’t need to say that this service is really hilarious.
