Description

Nestled in a humble setting, this restaurant offers an authentic taste of Cantonese cuisine that has garnered mixed reviews. While some diners rave about the generous portions and reasonable prices, highlighting dishes like lobster noodles and scrambled eggs with shrimp, others express disappointment with overly salty dishes and service shortfalls. A notable incident involving an unpleasant discovery was particularly off-putting for some patrons, affecting their overall experience. Despite these inconsistencies, many appreciate the warm service and budget-friendly options, suggesting it remains a worthwhile visit for those in search of homey, traditional flavors. However, caution is advised for dinner options.

It’s a hidden gem hole in a wall type Chinese restaurant serving authentic Hong Kong style cuisine. Female owned, warm service, experienced chefs, and budget friendly. Some of my favorites are the lobster noodle, peking style spare ribs, and scrambled eggs shrimp chow fun ?

Had lunch there with friends and found a cockroach in one of our dishes. Manager offered to replace dish but honestly we were done eating after find roach. Manager reduced bill by only the one dish even though finding the bug ended our lunch. We paid for other 2 dishes and won't be back.
