Despite the bad ratings, I decided to give this place a try—and I was really surprised. It’s a hidden gem.
I think many of the negative reviews may be about cleanliness. True, it’s not the cleanest spot, but this is more of a casual eatery than a full restaurant. And considering the prices—almost like McDonald’s—it’s hard to complain.
I visited twice and both times ordered the meal of the day. Each time it was very good, with a proper amount of meat, rice, plus complimentary soup and tea. It was filling, tasty, and very affordable.
It also felt very authentic—almost all the other customers were Chinese, which says a lot about the quality.
Overall, I can definitely recommend it.

My children went to this restaurant in Chinatown on a school trip. The waiters in this restaurant had a very unfriendly attitude. When my children finished eating and paid, the waiters yelled that they didn’t give enough tips. Oh my god, why were they yelling at children like that? The children felt very unhappy and thought they had done something wrong because they didn’t give enough tips. They would never go into this restaurant again. The children said that the dining environment inside was also very bad and the food was not delicious. If you want to quarrel with someone, come to this restaurant!
Terrible food! And is super dirty.
There is a dead bug inside the jar of honey for the toast. Avoid! The attitude is super rude too!
I started coming here in the late 80s when breakfast with milk tea or coffee was $2.99! Well, it’s $7.95 now! It used to to be owned & run by two sister and their family and then sold it to current owners!
Still same dirty nasty chairs & table but food is still consistently decent!
Milk tea is good, broth on the instant noodles are just as good as before! You just have to get over the chairs and aesthetics of the place!
Service was fast and very friendly!
Fast and tasty food
You know what you get. This recalled the restaurant I went to when I was younger. Food is okay and good prices.
On a busy day it doesn’t matter if you got in line first people don’t care and the staff don’t either, you can potentially sit with another table if they don’t mind (the food is pretty good)
Great Prices and the Steak was so flavorful. A good breakfast before touring around the city.
There are three main special lunch,ABC on the front door and on the wall. The price was reasonable and cheaper,taste was good,,cash only.

Came here for breakfast for a several times. The service was inconsistent. Sometimes they were slow, waited for 15 mins after you ordered the breakfast. If you’re hurry to work or doing something, not recommended to come here. Breakfast was good but really waiting too long for such simple breakfast. Service was average. Cash only, very inconvenient. Parking is very tough. Don’t come if you are expected parking on the street.
Everything is normal, but there are many people, and the food takes a little long to be served. Other than that, there are no other shortcomings. It is just a normal restaurant.

We got black pepper steak with noodles and salt and pepper pork chop. They're not super fancy but definitely delicious. The prices were reasonable. It's a place to stop by if you're craving some authentic yet simple Cantonese dishes!
