It's ok for general Cantonese food, but there are plenty of other options around in the neighborhood. Service is standard for Chinatown and prices are ok (but not incredible). In short: standard, solid offering but nothing amazing.
Oh Yee Li, I never gave you a chance, which disappoints me as a born and raised ABC in Chinatown, now that you're gone... Your little corner on Elizabeth was somehow always very reassuring and comforting, with the no frills old school stylings on the window (one image featured a suckling pig with cherry tomatoes stuck in its eyes). Wish the new iteration luck!
