I didn’t take pictures of the food because of the sad quality and I should have before I threw them out. Believe the negative reviews because the food quality and service issues are real.
I used to go to this spot occasionally because they open early enough for me to grab breakfast along the way into work. I can hop off the train and hop back on in 10 minutes, but never again after this last experience. Used to think the food was ok, but I think the last time I went, it just completely fell off a cliff. Note: if you’re a local and a Cantonese speaker, you may have a better experience than the rest. Just an observation from the few times I’ve watched interactions while waiting for my food.
Earlier this week, I ordered a shrimp rice roll and a noodle dish on the phone. See menu pictures for reference. I got there and the written paper on top of my order has $18.25 total, slightly higher prices than the menu I saw online, but expected with recent inflation. I added two of the fried breads, one sweet and one salty. The menu online shows them as $1.50 each, guy told me they are $2 each now. Not too strange either accounting for inflation. I gave him two $20 bills and he gives me back $14, telling me my total is $26. I’m rushing off to work and didn’t want going to argue over a few dollars. The lack of transparent pricing and clear overcharging in this case is a deal breaker for me.
Now on the food quality:
Shrimp rice roll had no shrimp in between layers, but half a shrimp each sticking out where the cut was. The soy sauce was was bitterly salty. Another reviewer had mentioned, the sauce for the rice rolls is supposed to be a blended sweeter version of your standard soy sauce. This was clearly poured straight from a bottle of cheap high sodium soy sauce used for cooking.
The noodles were extremely greasy. I’ve ordered this dish before but it just left a bad taste in my mouth (maybe because I was still upset over the pick up experience), I barely ate a third of it before tossing it out.
Same thing with the salty fried bread, it was extremely greasy without much of the crisp crunch I was expecting, more doughy in texture. I wasn’t hungry anymore by the time I got through half of that and didn’t even try the sweet version before throwing everything out.
One of the worst takeout food experiences I’ve ever had.

Except for porridge (my favorite is Tingzi porridge), everything else tastes average. No service
Service: I’ve never seen a restaurant with such terrible service. I told the staff at the counter that I wanted to place an order, but after several minutes, no one even looked at me, as if I didn’t exist. It wasn’t until I shouted that the rude woman inside finally looked at me. After a while, she accused me of not ordering, as if my previous attempt to order had never happened. They treat customers as if they are enemies.
Food: This restaurant serves the worst rice noodle rolls I’ve ever had. The rice noodle skin is very thick, lacking the delicate and smooth texture it should have. The soy sauce that is supposed to accompany the rice rolls should be sweet, but theirs is purely salty with not a hint of sweetness. I can’t imagine how they managed to make such a basic mistake. I’m quite certain their rice rolls are factory-made frozen products, and they just heat them up in a microwave.

Used to go there a lot . The takeouts are generally okay but recently had dined in for lunch and found out the portion was smaller than before and that they charged me 25% more than the menu price for no obvious reasons. I was thinking asked the female server why the difference but then I told myself it could be the price increase again but never reflected on the menu as I had the same experience during pandemic that I ordered a takeout there but the price was different from that posted on the menu. They told me that the price had increased but not updated on the menu. Perhaps the server added the 25% for herself. Who knows. I will not go there again. Watch out and ask for the price before ordering if you go there.

I ordered beef brisket wonton noodles, but there were no wontons. Then I called and the waiter told me to leave it. Do you think the customer is greedy for your two wontons? It's a bit funny indeed. Can you be more serious about snacks at work?

I've eaten a fair share of Cantonese BBQ from various place in New York City. Not sure what it is, but I find their take out three choice(BBQ duck, soy sauce chicken, cha siu or roasted pork) over rice always hitting the spot.Not sure what their 3.9/5 star is about, but this is a solid place. Trust me.
