Authenticity is the name of the game. Having brought two of my friends here for an afternoon lunch, they were stunned by how good the clay pot rice was! For them, it was a new dish. For me, it was nostalgia. The aromas from the pot were addicting, the crispy rice at the bottom and edges were great, and the rice itself was seasoned very well. Although they ordered small sizes, I’d recommend getting a medium if you’re a big eater (but they say it’s for two servings).
Service is as expected: straightforward and quick, yet still slow enough to ask for dietary restrictions or specific changes to a given dish (e.g. I asked for no cilantro). If you know Cantonese, Mandarin, Taishanese, or one of a couple other dialects, it’ll help you for sure. Otherwise, don’t worry too much about it if you feel pressured to order fast.
The lunch atmosphere was very hustle and bustle; I can only imagine what it’d be like by dinner time. Besides that, seating is limited and the room is quite tight so you might be asked to share a table if you have an odd number of people.
Lastly, is the food-to-dollar ratio worth it? Kinda. If you’re not a big eater and don’t eat this often, then yes. If you are and do, then no. But if you want a taste of home *and* to share that experience with your friends, this is a prime place to visit.

As someone who is Chinese. This Cantonese style food was amazing and delicious. My bf and I got there and noticed multiple parties seated at a table which is sometimes typical in Chinese restaurants, so we asked to wait a little longer for an available 2 person table, busy night but wait time was about 5 minutes at 7pm on a Friday. The place was small, warm, and cozy. I ordered 3 dishes: eggplant and salted fish sizzling casserole dish, taishanese cauliflower, and Chinese sausage and bacon clay rice pot for dinner for a fair price we could not stop raving about this spot and will want to revisit in the future.

I ordered the clay pot rice, and it was very disappointing — the flavor was plain and the meat did not taste fresh. The restaurant itself was extremely dirty and had an unpleasant smell; it did not feel hygienic at all. The service was also terrible, with the owner being especially rude. Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had, and I would not recommend this place.

I love this place. Very authentic food. Lots of delicious options. The place can be really crowded, but I don’t really mind that for a casual meal.
About as authentic as it gets. The clay pot rice and vegetable dishes were incredible. The woman running front of house was super friendly. Cramped space but it added to the experience.

Have been going since 2022. The clay pot dishes are unrivaled. The eel is sooo good. My friend loves the beef.

I like their food! Reminds me of my HK time. Just come early because there are not many tables and you may need to wait for a while. We come around 6pm on Sat and no need to wait (2ppl).

We love the claypot rice there. They are better than what we have in Hong Kong and honestly the consistency of performance is wowing.
