Chong Yuen Fong is a small, cozy restaurant with a vintage Shanghai vibe, specializing in clay pot rice and steamed soup. The atmosphere is casual, offering a quick and affordable dining experience without the need for tips. The clay pot rice is made to order, with options to choose two meats such as chicken and mushroom, salted fish, spare ribs, or minced pork. It is served with a layer of crispy burnt rice, giving a nice texture and a warm, homey feeling. Customers can also add healing soups like American ginseng, cordyceps flower, or chicken feet for an extra $5. The soups are traditional Cantonese style, often unseasoned for personal flavoring and made with fresh ingredients. The restaurant features a few tables and offers bottled drinks, providing both dine-in and takeout options. Their Portuguese egg tarts are smooth and creamy, popular among customers, though some find them oily and mildly sweet. Parking is easy in the back of the plaza. The restaurant’s unique style and authentic flavors make it a local gem worth visiting.
