Come here for years, not as good as old time. Maybe they are so busy. The salt in the Fire rice not resolved. We got two bites that are so salty. You can feel the whole crystal salt in the mouth

The food was good but the preparation was bad. They did not take out the bone off my chicken, even some pieces were breaking off. That's a choking Hazard. The chicken also had the skin on it. The drink left a sour after taste as well. I will probably not return there again. Please do better next time.

We ordered the meat combo with the garlic sauce. It was late and we were starving. We were hoping the food was good coz it smelled delicious but when we took our first bite, it was disappointing. The flavor wasn't there and the meat was tough. The eggs were overcooked and the chicken was still pink in the middle.

Food is awesome with plenty of choices to choose on the menu, but the wait for the food was too long. Almost 30 minutes wait for 3 dishes.

Its your typical HK Style cafe.plates is usually plentiful, West meets East under one roof, lots of choices to choose from. Steak here is priced thrift which comes in a large cut.

Ordered Singapore Style Fried Rice Noodle, Indo Fried Rice, Sliced Pork Neck with Vegetables, and Beef with Black Bean Sauce. The latter two dishes already include a plate of white rice each which we should have known and not ordered so much rice. The Singapore Style Fried Rice Noodle was alright though we wanted a little more salt to it. The Indo Fried Rice on the other hand was a bit too salty for our palette. No complaints to the last two dishes. The Sliced Pork Neck was very soft and well seasoned. It was very juicy and paired well with water spinach (we substituted this in for the standard vegetable). The Beef with Black Bean sauce was also a great choice too with a good sauce and onion and green pepper medley. Adding the white rice was very good. Location does get medium foot traffic especially on a weekend evening. Service was fast and good. Parking in the back can be tight so be patient.

Good is good as always. I’m sad their hours are not as long, but they’re still open for a good length of time. Breakfast/brunch combo - chose the minced beef jook and chow mein; and on another day had jook with chow fun; drink with a refill is also included. Mmm lemon iced tea!

I like food but service just below average. Only reason may busy at night and who work at cashier always show not welcome

If you don't expect service. Five star for food quality and server except cashier guy I'm sorry

Very bad, we came to eat hungry, the male waiter here may be very full, I don't know that other people are hungry, he has been chatting with a waitress,no matter what we.

Came here on X'mas Eve, service ís a bit slow due to low labor! Other than that, food is good!

I don't like their soup noodle, like the beef noodle & wonton. I like their 罗宋汤和意面. 不支持手机支付。信用卡$20。关门半小时前不收单

Ask for a detailed receipt and you will find that 15% of the service fee is already included. Not reasonable for the bad service at all. Dine in at your own risk.

Waited 50+ minutes for my takeout order and still wasn’t ready, no one cared to come check on me despite me standing in the waiting area the whole time.

Grew up eating here with friends. The most famous Hong Kong cafe joint in the 626 area for lunch to late night eats.with everyone avoiding the window seats at night. They now have covid outdoor tent seating. Can't go wrong with your orders here. Typical, decent with 1 refill of drinks now vs unlimited.

The food was delicious. The price is lower than similar restaurants.
It got busy and the workers couldn't attend to my needs.

Service not very good. Given it's late around 11pm.

I also never been to a Chinese restaurant which charges for tea besides dim sum restaurant. So order at your own risk.

Cart noodle - Pretty lame. Thought the curry squid made in curry sauce instead of cooked it and pour curry sauce over it.

Indo fried rice - Is really just Maggie sauce fried rice with 2 tasteless shrimps and some bits of beef that's very tough. Not edible. It was really disappointing. They have xo sauce fried rice, I supposed it's gotta be better.

Overall experience here was pretty bad. The restaurant is old and run down. They served the wrong cart noodle, gave us the wrong ingredients. And they asked us, if that's ok. He was trying to avoid changing it. Not sure if it's laziness or being cheap. We aren't offended but we felt that's not really the way to serve your patrons.
