first time here today, ordered online for takeout and decided on their lava egg yolk french toast with sauce on the side, spam bolo bao, curry fish balls, and house made soy milk cold. everything was so delicious! the lava egg yolk french toast was sweet, crunchy, and dry (they forgot to add in my sauce on the side) so i didn’t really get to enjoy the whole thing as is. i would get it again because it was tasty! the spam bolo has to be my favorite, perfect balance of sweet and salty. it’s light too, i could eat two myself ? curry fish balls were also good but not worth $5 for 4 balls, wouldn’t get it again because of the high price and low quantity. house soy milk is sooo good! goes great with the food. look forward to trying out the rest of their menu!

Exciting & very affordable Hong Kong cafe!This tiny spot has amazing food - the French toast is simply to die for! So is the fried chicken sando!There might be a wait, but the staff is super nice. Sitting inside might be a challenge, with the constant line of people buying takeout, but if that doesn’t bother you - it’s worth a shot!

Didn't care for chicken sandwich or french toast. Chicken was too small for bun, overcooked with a flaky coating and incredibly greasy. They also put a crunchy topping on it that scatters all over the place and distracts even more from the chicken and was also oily, and you could taste more oil/fat in the Cole slaw on it, everything very unappetizing texturally and quite unhealthy especially when you include heavy bun. As for the French toast, I knew it was "decadent" but I didn't think it could kill you right then and there. Oily, sugary fried bread with crumbled cookies and peanut butter is merely a dessert and a fat and sugar extravaganza. There's no reason for it, that's not cooking that's just poisoning people. Anybody can soak bread in fat and spread peanut butter on it and cover it with cookies, why not just throw a stick of butter on there too. Also the apparently only Asian there, the cashier, was quite unfriendly. It took 17 minutes to get food.

The food is very good, pricier but not too expensive.The shop was PACKED for Sunday lunch.Important to note this really isn’t a place you should plan on dining in at, if recommend figuring out where you’re gonna eat first if you’re coming from outside Quincy.

Bao was excellent and the order came out fast, better flavor and texture than Chui Quon in Chicago. Definitely better than the local bao I've had.The egg drop French toast is something special and is worth the hour drive for me.There is not much space inside to sit on the weekend, but the beach is not far and the waves are a better view than Quincy gridlock traffic.

Rice noodles were fresh and delicious! Fried chicken was crispy. Egg yolk bao was probably the most stand out item. Coffee was hot, what more is there?

Cute place, the decorations are adorable. It was busy when we got there and there wasn't a lot of space to sit, but given that it's a small eatery it makes sense. I got the house soy milk, sesame and hoisen rice roll, and the lava egg yolk bun. I would suggest using rock sugar to sweeten the soymilk or maybe use a sugar syrup solution so that the sugar is distributed more evenly(mine had the dissolved sugar at the bottom so it was much sweeter at the end); maybe a station for people to add their own sugar? The rice roll is nice, soft, and chewy - the toppings adds great flavor. The bun was perfect: fluffy, sweet, and warm - very fresh! Brings back childhood memories :)Dietary restrictions: There is a side menu with allergy info.

This place is small and busy. Highly recommend to take your food to go. There very limited seating. You can't grab a seat till you order. We got the fried chicken bolo bao, char Siu bolo bao, curry Fishball and french toast lava egg yolk . The fried chicken was scrumptious. It was thick, juicy and tender. The Bolo Bao has all the classical elements to it. The French toast lava egg yolk was amazing. It really sweet and felt like a dessert. The curry fish ball and char Siu bolo bao was decent. It's a bit pricey but worth a try
