I've had this place mentally bookmarked for a long time but usually missed the window of opportunity to go. I was determined to finally make it, even after what looked like a long wait on Sunday after 1 pm. Make sure to scan the QR code at the front entrance to get yourself on the wait list (no need to flag down any employees and no need to stand around to wait). The wait list is pretty cool in that it automatically updates your place in line and how long you've been waiting as well as how many parties (and their size!) are in front of you and how long they've been waiting.
Their inside dining area is a bit small and they've expanded dining capacity with two outdoor seating areas, so there's a high chance you'll end up dining outside. I do prefer indoor as the outside dining table didn't look too stable, but I appreciate that the outdoor space allows them to serve customers faster.
We tried quite a bit and loved it all! We had the HK style pineapple bun with butter ($4.25), pan fried fish filet sandwich ($8.50), fried chicken wings and squid in spicy salt ($11.99), Ovaltine French toast ($6.95), black pepper beef fried noodles ($12.95), iced milk tea ($1.95), and iced lemon tea ($1.95). Would order again!
We parked on the residential streets and didn't have too much trouble finding a spot. Allowed us to walk off the food coma. Check the street signs to make sure you're not parked during a street cleaning day or some other restrictions.

Love! Grew up eating chachantaang food and was craving it on our trip in LA. This place didn't disappoint!
Super authentic! Reasonable pricing. Don't be fooled by the low-key outdoor aesthetics.
The inside is nicely decorated, clean, and spacious seating.

While I was dining here, my car was involved in a hit-and-run in the parking lot. Unfortunately, even though I parked very close to the security camera, the footage was so poor that the license plate could not be identified. Both the police and the insurance company confirmed that the video quality was useless. A business that provides parking should at least maintain basic security and functioning cameras. I’m extremely disappointed and hope the management takes responsibility to fix this issue.

I have been lived in Shenzhen for my first 18 years, this restaurant remembered me many memories of Hongkong Cafe style “ 茶餐廳 ， very authentic. Recommend!
DO NOT COME HERE. Service was traumatic and abysmal. Food was mediocre- literally go to any other HK Cafe in the area instead. The server got upset and had the nerve to ask for tip when we waited 40 minutes and had to remind them about our order when everyone else who got there after us got their food already.

Cart noodle broth is so bland. The pork blood is tough, cow stomach is not cleaned thoroughly, curry fish egg is not bouncy enough. Steak is a overcooked, the black bean sauce lacks favor.
