I like the atmosphere here and the food is good too… wish the peanut (with chicken feet) was a bit softer!

I wish I didn’t try. Service lousy, waited for 15 minutes before waiter came to take order. Food is not good but not cheap at all. Waitresses were all very rude or cold. When we paid the bill, the waitress or cashier, yelled really loud about the payment twice that the whole noisy restaurant customers can hear. Will never try again especially food doesn’t taste well. Why pay for frustration?

We ordered Hainan Chicken and when it arrived the chicken was lukewarm and the plate was ice cold. Usually this dish is served either completely chilled or hot from being freshly cooked, so this made no sense to me. If the chicken has been cooked and served freshly hot, why is the plate cold? Did they put the plate in the fridge first and then serve the hot chicken onto it, which caused the chicken to lose heat and become just lukewarm, while the plate stayed cold?
We asked the server and she said that they cook it ahead of time and store it in the fridge, then microwave it for 30 seconds before serving. Thus, the chicken is warmed (but not hot) and the plate stays cold because it was fridge temperature. And indeed, when we got to the middle of the chicken it was cold, as the microwave radiation had only warmed the chicken on the outside.
This is incredibly bizarre to me. This is a dish that is either hot or cold, no in-between. This is not a question of style; I like both hot and cold variations of this dish. But I cannot understand why they would do this microwave procedure, and I don't like it. If they want to cook it ahead of time and store it in the fridge, why not just serve it cold? And if they want to heat it up, why not warm it fully, and serve it on a warmed plate?
Perhaps this is a new variation of Hainan Chicken that Super Stars Cafe has invented. The chicken was actually cooked really well and tasted great, as did the congee and curry that we also ordered. But I cannot forgive this strange microwave business.

In general, everything was great. Maybe that's the only cafe that still has a TV.

Very good food with reasonable prices. Service is good. They have special prices for some food items from 3pm to 6pm, but portion is still big. We tried soy sauce chicken which is really good.

Aug2023 - Great price, great food, friendly ppl, nice seating 5 stars.
Aug 2024 update - so so food , terrible service, still nice seating
My friend and I ordered a baked chicken over rice but received a bowl of rice and chicken sauce on a plate. I told the staff that this isn't what we ordered but she said that's how they make this dish in their restaurant.

This restaurant is absolutely disgusting. The place is cramped, and the decor and cleanliness are abysmal. The hygiene is downright revolting—I was halfway through my meal when a huge rat started scurrying around. I was on the verge of a breakdown—what kind of hygiene standards do you have here? And it's not like the prices are cheap either. With all the money you’re making, could you at least invest in some basic cleanliness? The sight of it made me tremble all over, lost my appetite, and ran out immediately.

Always love this HK style cafe with great selection of food and good milk tea Price is good with good portion servings Getting busy always best to call to reserve a table before going
————- Almost a year since last visit as quality of food drop drastically Try again tonight very disappointed The beef brisket turned sour and stinks
Price is fair about $25 per person but it’s not the first time I have trouble with their meat turn bad

Always enjoyed their food especially the soy chicken and fried rice. Service is great with lots of selections. Be prepared for long waits during peak hours and finding a parking spot can get tough

Terrible experience and the baked pork dish was not even baked.
