We got the baked chicken kew with portuguese sauce casserole and the crispy fried eel dumplings, high rec the casserole dish but the eel dumplings, not so much. The wasabi sauce on the dumplings was super overpowering, the filling is eel with seaweed sheet, which tasted very odd to me. There’s a wait line but everything moves relatively fast, service is not the most attentive (as expected from a reg chinese restaurant so I’m fine with that). Portion is very big and filling!
Everything tastes so good and well priced. Especially the noodle soups and the baked fried rice in casserole dishes.
You can find the best Hong Kong style tea with milk here. It’s a popular spot in China Town, full house when we arrived for lunch around 2:30 pm. Price is reasonable, the Hong Kong style dishes are delicious. This has been my China Town go to place for almost 20 years. Don’t expect good atmosphere here though, you can hear the waitresses talked loudly to each other from both ends of the restaurant…
Though on the side street of Canal, it is a perfect hidden gem. Amazing atmosphere with high quality food and great service from the waiters. Was able to accommodate our group and has spaces for singular or smaller groups. Would come here again for the Dim Sum and Wonton Noodle Soup.
neat place, authentic food with big portions. the staff are very nice. I wouldn’t recommend the dessert here tho
Love their soy sauce chow mien. I get it from here every time I crave it. Their HK style milk tea was too bitter for me though.
Great and affordable food. A fair amount of variety. The Grilled Chicken with Black pepper sauce was so good. I really like the presentation. Definitely recommend the Soup Dumplings.
Very authentic Cantonese dishes.
The beef Ho Fan is perfect 👍
The congee is very flavorful
Everything we try was yummy
The only thing was that we ordered chicken fingers and it was bad and also came in a plastic container while the other dishes came in plates. Also if they don’t have something you ordered they don’t tell you.
The Hong Kong milk tea is not bad but the cup is not clean. We saw lots of stains when you drank it down…… just a note maybe ask for it be be in a paper cup?
