Reviews
(-) Staff is running and to get something you must always flag them down / my biggest YUCK point is that the utensils are not very clean 🙁
(+) Food comes out very quickly if not that busy.
– Stir fry Broccoli with garlic – tasty
– baked chicken with tomato sauce pasta – tasty
– curry chicken & rice – tasty but small portion
– chicken steak pasta with mushroom sauce – tasty
– fried rice – tasty
Parking – small lot but you can park along the small street or on Valley for free
Restrooms – decent and well ventilated
Dinner: We ordered 2 fried rice plates that no one could finish. Fried filet of sole that came with a big slab of fish and a side of mushroom gravy, filet mignon and chicken combo plate, filet mignon and shrimp pasta, lamb chops and beef plate and finally a spam and egg over instant noodle for the comfort food diner! The plates are definitely loaded with food. A few of us could have just shared each plate without packing all the leftovers afterwards. The meat is nicely cooked but it doesn’t taste like much other flavoring except salt and pepper. So as I mentioned, nothing special. Their rotisserie chicken is also nicely roasted and wasn’t dried out but you really do need side gravy to help the plates by adding a little flavor to everything.
Breakfast – Breakfast is served until 11am so if you want to try their breakfast menu, be seated by 10:45am to avoid “missing” the golden time to order! That said, this place is packed for breakfast but don’t fear, they move people in and out quickly to turn over tables. Six of us arrived at 10:30am and were seated within 10 mins so be patient and don’t worry, they will seat you. The breakfast menu has a number of options available. We ordered grilled pork chops (comes with toast, eggs and coffee), porridge (comes with your option of a noodle), steak and eggs, instant noodle with spam and eggs as well as a fried chicken sandwich. My friends like this place because it’s such a good deal for breakfast but food is ok.
Service – overall service is quick and efficient. The waiters are multi-dialect in Chinese and speak English as well. They will keep your never ending lemon ice tea filled as well as your milk tea. Once you clear a plate they’ll grab it to keep things moving. They also offer outdoor, tented seating but when it’s hot and sunny outside that can be a bit rough so we normally opt for indoor seating.
10/10
They have their own parking lot, but sometimes it’s hard to find a spot. It can get tight when cars don’t park correctly.
Service is good. I really liked the cream soup with corn and ham.

Ambiance/Environment: They have a large space. Really great for bigger groups. I’ve only ever visited with my family, so we always dine for a party of 10+. Walking in, you can either place an order to go via the kiosk or dine in by checking in at the podium. There’ll most likely be a wait time for dining in.
Service: Service really needs to improve. I wasn’t expecting service to be top notch from restaurants like this, so I wasn’t surprised. Our server never checked on us. It’s really difficult to wave a server down. If you’d like a refill, make sure you ask.
What I ate: They have a very large menu. Majority of their dishes come with vegetables with your choice of protein, choice of rice or noodles, and choice of sauce served in a gravy boat. It is Hong Kong style, so expect large portions and come with an appetite. I ordered the Filet Mignon, medium rare, with Korean sauce and rice. The Korean sauce wasn’t too sweet and actually flavorful. The vegetables and rice were cooked well. The Filet Mignon was a bit chewy, but still decent.
Pricing: Prices are average nowadays. My dish was $16.95, and we dined for a family of 10+ so our total was over $220 before tip. I’d say it’s worth it because their portions are large; one dish can easily be shared. They have free unlimited refills for drinks. But don’t expect great service.
