  I was really excited that a place that served sizzling beef with rice was opening near me. However, I was taken aback by the low reviews of bad food and service. I still wanted to try the food since it looked good. I came in around 12:30 pm on a Saturday and got seated immediately. I never saw a long line waiting, but definitely saw a consistent amount of people coming in. I actually have no idea why service was considered so bad. The main waiter/host was so bubbly and super friendly. He was constantly running around and helping everyone. We ordered one beef sizzling plate with rice, string beans, pork pan fried noodles, toast with peanut butter and condensed milk, and a sesame dessert (a lot i know). The beef plate came out super fast. The quality of the beef and rice was actually really good. It was a little saltier than I liked, but still tasted really good! The plate was pretty big; I could only eat half of it. The pork pan fried noodles came in a kinda small plate, but had a lot of pork and sauce with it. The string beans were also really good. My grandma really liked the toast and sesame dessert and said it was good quality. I definitely want to come back again since they have such an extensive menu. I saw a lot of other people eating their soup noodles, beef brisket, and ginger chicken. I also saw a lot of people getting their drinks. I thought the food here was really tasty and service was amazing. I can't wait to come back.

  Service is pretty good here, but much better only if you can speak Cantonese. The food is pretty good as well, but the fried rice is excellent and is consistent in taste, which is more rare than you might think. Sometimes the order in which the dishes are served is atypical (dessert first, for example) but in general a recommended place for a quick meal.

  It's a good place for Asian style cuisine in a casual HK cafe setting. Lots of food choices for anytime of the day, may it be breakfast, lunch or dinner. Or even drop in for a dessert. Reasonable price, and credit card use ok (happens recently only!)

  Three stars mainly because it's cash only. The food on the other hand is delicious. It's basically comfort Asian food. There's a huge dessert list and if you're ever craving something late night, this is the place but just remember to bring cash. We got the check and pulled our cards out only for the waiter to tell us that it's cash only. 5/5 for the food and everything else though. Seriously we left with a smile on our face and a full belly.

  Pork neck chow fun. Mango delights.
