Me and my family came here for dinner while visiting Chinatown. The food was delicious and authentic, served at good portions and with a wide variety of choices on the menu (LOTS of different dishes to choose from!). Nice, ambient and well-decorated atmosphere. Good service, the staff were polite and attentive. Very affordable dining price, as well, which we also appreciated. Been here before many years ago and glad to know that this business is still doing well! Overall a good Chinese restaurant dining experience.

It's a very old-fashioned Hong Kong-style restaurant, but all the dishes are very fresh and cooked to order. The staff are friendly and the seating is comfortable.

A really old Gem , looks like you walked back in time with the design and menu that hasn’t changed in 30 years, same old classic like beef chow fun and noodle soup with rice rolls and Singapore Mei fan. A great place for lunch and dinner with good portions and classic Cantonese dishes that we grew up eating. We love the fresh vegetables with Garlic and tofu veggies rolls.

A super authentic dinner experience in Chinatown. The service was quick and efficient, which was perfect because our party was really hungry.
Congee: could’ve used a bit more salt but very adjustable on our own
Stir fried intestine with jalapeño: the star of the dinner for me. The sauce (I think it was Chinese bbq sauce based) was perfect and the intestines were so tender. There were also enough jalapeños that you could 1:1 ratio it with the intestine and gave it the perfect bite.
Seafood noodles: absolutely loved this dish! The crunch and drenched noodles are a great contrast and they really piled up the seafood. Brings back a lot of nostalgia for the celebrations I used to attend in Asia.
Shiu Mai and Chang fen and turnip cake: all the dim sum was yummy and affordable. One of the better turnip cake textures I’ve had. Also a huge shiu mai and it was super juicy.
Hong Kong rice with cutlet: this was my first time having this dish and it didn’t disappoint. The rice reminded me of the egg and tomato dish my parents used to make. Combine that with a crispy cutlet and it was a great foundation for the meal.
Green beans: the only disappointment of the meal. The flavor wasn’t quite there and just didn’t stand up to the way other restaurants prepare this dish.
Overall this place was amazing and would definitely recommend stopping here for a hearty, family style meal.

The food was mostly mid, I only really liked the turip cakes. Everything felt a bit too salty. The menu was way too big and kinda overstimulating. I would recommend other hong kong cafes in the area.

Huge menu but not everything is worth ordering. I find their plain porridge and fried dough to be the best of all. For classic cha chaan teng dishes, there are much better options around.

My date noticed a roach crawling on my shoulder. Not hygienic

The food was really good and the decorations were cool. I wish the place was a little cleaner because there was a thick layer of dust on a lot of the lights. I also wish the staff smiled more to make customers feel more welcomed. I recommend the rice noodle wrapped oil sticks with soy sauce and the xialongbao. I also saw one of the staff pull out what I think was a vape and hit it. Overall it was a pretty good experience and would definitely come again 💗

Underrated local spot. Food is authentic and delicious. They make the best HK style milk tea. Cozy comfort food.
I LOVE EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER TRIED!!!! I have traveled an hour and a half for their pork and shrimp dumplings. The spring rolls are a revelation. I have been here about a dozen times in the last 2 years and the quality has remained the same.

LOVE ❤️ A Chinatown classic. The turnip cake melts in your mouth with a light crunch around the edges. The shrimp rice noodle is fresh and soft. The congee with pork and thousand year egg is creamy and comforting. The pork and chicken with taro is savory delicious. Pair it with a fresh watermelon juice for a cool, sweet treat. A++++

The food tastes just fine, but the service wasn’t impressive. Note that an 18% gratuity was automatically added to the bill. The total came to nearly $100 for the food shown in the photo. I’m not sure I’d go back.

The food is average, but they add 18% tips on the after tax total which is ridiculous as they do not offer you a fantastic service. That means you need to pay 20%+ tips to them regardless how many people. Not recommended unless you are a diehard fan with them.

XO is amazing, I love there Chicken Curry its flavorful and a tad bit spicy. The portions are massive so you’re decently getting your money worth.
