Food tastes just like authentic Hong Kong Cafe food. Love it!
This restaurant has been here for a long time, I've been there maybe 3 times, but this will probably be my last time.
It's very narrow inside, and the tables are right next to the tables next to them.
I ordered Lemonade, but it came with a cup of sugar water + lemon slices for $5.95 (see picture ), the fried instant noodles were OK, but the pork chop was very thin $17.95 . The seafood puff soup not only took a long time to wait, but the soup inside was canned + two pcs shrimps, two pieces of squid $ 14.75 .
Near home. Prices are above average. Portions are smaller now.
This establishment is a Hong Kong-style café, reminiscent of similar venues found in Los Angeles. It features a menu that offers a fusion of traditional Chinese and Western-style dishes, typical of the Hong Kong dining experience.
While exploring the menu, I faced the challenge of choosing from a wide array of appealing dishes. Ultimately, I opted for the baked pork chop, which closely resembled my previous experiences and was quite enjoyable. Additionally, we ordered the Hainan chicken rice, a dish where the quality of the rice is crucial. While it was satisfactory, it didn't quite meet the standard of what I had previously tasted in LA. Another noodle dish we tried was also quite good.
As I currently reside outside of the West Coast, I may not have the opportunity to return. However, for those who live in the area and are seeking authentic Hong Kong café cuisine, this restaurant is worth a visit.
My goto Hong Kong style cafe. They offer a five set menu made up of an entree and a drink. We always find something we like. We also like the Hainan chicken rice in the menu. During these inflationary times, we come here two or more times a month for good food at a reasonable price. It is our cafe. You ?
Authentic Hong Kong and Macau tea restaurant. Highly recommended.

Everything is great just a bit too salty. I will go back again but will tell them to do my food less salty.

Love, love Venus. My family’s favorite place. Highly recommend the baked pork chop rice, it’s a Hong Kong classic, and I love the baked spaghetti too. Also the gravy style beef chow fun, beef stew with rice noodles soup, XO rice rolls if they have it, and the pan fried noodles with pork and bean sprouts. Is your mouth watering yet? If you know Hong Kong cafe food, it should be!!

When I need my fix of HK cafe style food, this is the place. They have baked rice or baked spaghetti dishes. My favorite is the baked ham & corn with white sauce over rice or the baked chicken with garlic sauce. It's definitely worth a try.

Typical HK style Cafe. Food quality is good. Lunchtime wait can be long, especially on weekends. The price is reasonable, especially if you order specials that come with milk tea and drinks. Milk tea alone can be $5, so it is expensive to order it alone.
