The milk tea with grass jelly was watery, and the drinks took a while to arrive. The waitress seemed more focused on upselling, though our server was friendly and checked in on us. Despite the attractive photos, I might try somewhere else next time since the quality didn’t justify the cost.

I had the sweet and sour pork, which was delicious with a crispy coating and a generous portion. The rice on the side was cooked perfectly. The price was a bit steep for just the sweet and sour pork dish; if it were $13, it would have been a five-star experience. My wife ordered the honeydew milk tea, which I tasted and found very flavorful.

The curry here is quite tasty, and my personal favorite is the preserved vegetables with shredded duck fried rice, which is absolutely delicious. The restaurant doesn’t stay open as late as some other Hong Kong cafes, so keep that in mind. Parking is available on the street, but it's free after 8 PM.
