Some food was okay like the wings, and the fried noodles. The wontons were bad, they had a weird taste to them. The milk tea was way too sweet. The hot tea was basically just water.
The worst part was the service. We left the restaurant already and were chased for more tip even though we already gave a tip. When ordering they asked what type of sause we wanted for a dish but the menu did not list them and he just expected us to know what they had.
Been to a few casual Hong Kong style cafes in nyc and this is so far the worst.

Stereotypical Hong Kong style place with reasonable prices in today’s economy. Place is decent sized but packs quickly during lunch and dinner service. We ordered: 1) chicken gizzard- decent but lacking flavor and chewy. I’ve had better 2) fried chicken skin- not bad oily 3) Kowloon fried rice- very good and kind of spicy 4) stir string beans- decent 5) peanut butter toast with condense milk- okay 6) pork belly with preserved veggies- really good and done well 7) Chinese cheng fan assortment- nice and bouncy noodles 8) beef and egg chow fun- good “wok hei” on the noodles and good flavor. Best dish 9) oyster pancake- oyster didn’t taste fresh and pancake could have been cooked longer 10) sautéed eggplant garlic sauce- flavorful and not too salty 11) Portuguese chicken spaghetti- second best dish with authentic flavor
Will definitely stop by again to try out the rest of the menu. The servers were typical HK waiters- so don’t expect exceptional customer service just above being rude- but it’s understandable.

The noodles with mix sauce and a hot hk milk tea, sometimes add the curry fish balls too for a perfect snack/lunch.

Good Hong Kong style Cabinets food. Plenty of seating even on a Saturday night. I was a little sad they were out of flat rice noodles (chow Fun) so we got to stir fried tofu and vegetable with vermicelli rice noodle (mai fun). I got excellent, especially when paired with bitter melon with black bean sauce. Waiters were excellent, kept checking on us with hot tea. I had to run down the back to buy a beer cuz they don't have a license. Food paired nicely with a Modelo Especial.

Prices were cheap. The food was delicious but we have to wait 30 mins for our food. 4/5 stars

Food is yummy. Do not expect 5 star service or atmosphere. It's an authentic Hong Kong styled cafe.

I was really expecting my usual Hong Kong authentic cafe (茶餐廳/Cha Chang Tang) but it was a bit disappointing.
The afternoon tea set was reasonably priced with a drink - red bean ice drink (it’s included in one of the set and you can’t change it to other drinks). I ordered the chicken leg w fries and red bean ice. The chicken leg was huge but the meat quality was not what I was looking for. I would rather choose a smaller leg with nice dark meat than a large one. The red bean was too milky without much red bean taste.
The satay beef noodle was soso. The beef was cut too thick and we normally don’t add green leaves (gai lan) on top but I guess it’s a local American style to add veg. The taste is half way there, but I wish the sauce and beef can improve.
The Portuguese chicken was ok. I just feel like the cheese was somehow different and perhaps too much.

To determine if a restaurant is good, try their beef chow fun, it should be dry, charred and not oily, what I received was not the case, and total opposite, disappointing meal.
It’s busy bc they do have a lot of variety where it can cater to the entire family from young to old, one would find something form the menu, price is fair overall.
Didn’t like the lighting and the changing light above the tables though, from blue to purple during the whole time, outdated.
Had the salt and pepper squid as well, it was fresh so that was a plus.
The delivery lady has very bad attitude, don’t ask for delivery.

food is good for the price but service is next to non existent and they force you to tip for the service with no hospitality ?

Why are takeout portions significantly smaller than dine-in? Raising prices is one thing, but cutting portions at the same time? That’s unacceptable.

their delivery driver got mad we tipped 15% when they took 40 mins to arrive when we live only 5 mins away. ridiculous for people to get angry when you give them extra money
Logan Smith
The food was passable, and the service was basic at best. But what truly shocked me was when the server demanded extra tips, even though we had already tipped 10%. As I took out my wallet and began counting my money, the server brazenly grabbed it right out of my hand and walked away. Is this how customers are treated, or is this some form of daylight robbery? Already reported to 311 for this incident.
