Some reviews said the service was bad. But we experienced wonderful service and hospitality.
The food was great. The lobster noodles was No. 1.

Stopped by last week and wanting to look at the menu. To my surprise even thought the name of the restaurant is Taste of Hong Kong but it's more like northern China dishes except for a few items like roasted duck or pork. Will not eat there.

Absolutely disgusting. We did a drain cleaning for this place and the kitchen is the most dirtiest and full of grease you will ever find. The owner is too cheap to properly fix it. Then had the nerve to get mad at us when we showed him what was wrong. We all know how nasty some restaurants are but this one takes the first place prize don’t eat there you will get sick!!!! We will contact the health department of Monday it’s the right thing to do.

This is what we expected for Cantonese food, already saved to my favorites.

Great roasted duck and atmosphere! Good service

Hands down the best Cantonese my wife and I have had since we moved here 5 years ago. All the food was stellar from the appetizer to the very large entrees. Our seating was awful, but that was minor compared to how good the food was. We will definitely be back.

I waited for too long

We went here for the first time tonight on Christmas. We were easily able to make reservations this morning around 8:30 for a 5:30 sitting. So if you're going on a holiday, make sure you make the reservations.
When we got there it was already kind of full because it's a very small restaurant but there were people who were waiting because they hadn't made reservations and they were on a wait list and it seemed like they were there for a while. However, we went in and we were seated within seconds. It took a while for us to order because I think they were not paying any attention to us. I don't know. However, the lady that took our order is the same lady that was trying to bust tables and be the hostess so I don't know why the others weren't doing as much as she was. We got the three combo barbecue special with Hong Kong roasted duck, Macao roasted pork and some kind of chicken. My husband was the one who wanted the chicken. I didn't like it that much. It didn't have much flavor and it was kind of dry. The duck was really good but fatty but you know it's duck so I don't blame the restaurant for that. The skin on it was really crispy. And the pork was chef's kiss. Really delicious and crispy. We also ordered the shrimp with garlic and chili which was the most amazing dish that we had while we were there and I will go back there over and over for it. The shrimp were like big prawns, not just large shrimp. And they were fried perfectly and they were tender and juicy and it was almost like a salt and pepper shrimp. I keep thinking about it even though we've been home for a few hours now.
We also ordered the salt and pepper chicken and my daughter thinks that they tasted sweet but I think it tasted Smokey. I don't know it was really good but it was a much different taste than for instance if you were getting it from Royal Mandarin.
And then my mother-in-law got chicken and vegetables and that was really delicious. Very tender and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. Our combo plate came out within about 2 minutes of us ordering it. So fast that we thought it wasn't even ours at first. And the other dishes came out pretty quickly except for the shrimp that took a while but we had all the other stuff to eat.
Even under the Christmas pressure, the food was excellent and came out really fast.
Please note: when you first get there, they put a hot tea on your table.
THAT TEA IS NOT FREE! It's $2 per person and it's just charged automatically. You have to let them know you don't want it and then you have to also check your receipt because they just automatically charge it.
Also prices on tonight's menu are higher than they are online so I don't know if it's for the holiday or what.

Noisy place, food was lightly below average but very pricey. It is very hard to find a parking place on their lot at dinner time.

Definitely tastes like Hong Kong style restaurants! I know! I visited my grandparents in Hong Kong several times and the cooking is spot on! 😋

Food is great, just need to be careful of the tips and services charge. Tea is not free, and location is good.

Rude service: one female waiter took away the sauce before we finished the dish.
The oil in dishes is heavy.

Fast service, extensive and authentic menu, very clean restaurant. The fresh steamed fish was absolutely stunning, tender and caught just the night before and brought to the restaurant that morning. It tasted just that fresh and three chef treated it with utmost respect as there was a very light sauce with scallions and ginger and that was all it needed.

The tofu and fish hot pot was tender and delicious. The snow pea leaves were crisp and cooked just to tender. The garlic chili shrimp were very generously sized crisp from the fryer and doused super generously with red and green chilies and at least a handful of garlic. And the orange wagyu was decadent meat candy in the original Chinese style of orange beef, redolent with chili and fruit.

My parents had been here once before and liked it enough to come again, as it had made a great impression on them and they were born on the Mainland.
