This place is a downtown institution. It is very busy at weekday lunch and empty, but open, in the evening. It a source of Evansville's Cantonese dining history, which is oddly extensive. If you just tell them the sort of thing you like, you can have an absolutely unbelievable genuine Cantonese dinner here. It is my favorite Cantonese.

The vibe in the cafe is great for working, studying, having coffee with a friend, etc. There is alway plenty of space, although the outlets are sparse and there are no windows for natural light which is a down side. They do not sell food, however there is a baker in the same building who sells some great baked goods.

One of the best Chinese restaurants that I've been to in Evansville. I ordered the gung bo chicken lunch combo, which came with soup and an egg roll. The egg drop soup was very nice - probably among the better versions I've tried. The egg roll, though, was excellent. The outside was freshly, perfectly fried, crunchy and delicious. It was served with bottles of hot mustard and sweet and sour. Both had a texture and taste on a far different level from standard fare at other restaurants....read full review
