Fav Cafe is a Hong Kong style cafe that offers up some dishes normally not served at most other Hk style cafes.
Pros:
High end western dishes available
Great service
Cons:
HK style cafe food could of been better
When you first come in, you notice that this place is rather small. There are about 8 tables total seating parties of 2, 4, or 6. The atmosphere is pretty good with music just loud enough to enjoy. I find some places tend to play music way too loud when they have it, Fav cafe gets it just right.
One look at the menu and the $100 rib steak immediately catches my eye. Never have I seen such an item that expensive at an HK style cafe. The menu has completely changed from the menus in the photos for this place on yelp. There are quite a bit of higher end western dishes on the menu now. They are much pricier than your everyday HK stlye items. I take it they are trying to be more of higher class of dining? If anybody has tried the $100, please message me and tell me how it was.
I ordered the baked seafood on rice with Alfredo sauce and my GF got the baked fish in rose sauce with dill on rice. My seafood rice was OK though it could of really been better portion wise. I could count the amount of seafood with my 2 hands. 2 shirimps, 3 pieces of calamari, 3 small fillets of fish and 1 piece of scallop. I could of used a lot more Alfredo sauce as well. Overall, what I had tasted good, but I was left wanting more after. My GF's fish was a lot better portion wise and the taste was pretty good too.
Here's the thing I noticed. The more expensive western dishes were done a whole lot better than the HK style ones. Some of the people there had ordered some of them and they looked very good. I like the fact they have these options, but as a HK style cafe, you need to make sure you're morn known dishes are done with the same effort. Just my take.
The service was very good. Previous reviews had me a little worried but the two servers and someone who looked to be the owner had nothing but great interaction with us. They were very good with my little one and she opened up to them in no time which only happens if she feels very conformable with strangers.
Overall, a very nice little place. The HK style could be better but nothing bad enough to keep me away.
