  • Location: This restaurant is situated in the busy busy T&T plaza. I got a little lost looking for it because I was recommended by people to try. I figured I can just park in the middle of the plaza and easily find it. It was actually on the side of Boston pizza and sort of found myself walking around the outside of the building -- found the restaurant facing the street rather than the middle of the plaza. Atmosphere: Very typical Chinese style dining. Lots of small tables crowded around the restaurant (small tables and large tables in the center). IT is definitely a very casual dining experience since there is a very "rushed/quick" eat type of feeling since you see the MASSIVE lineup and people crowding in the front entrance and hovering over the tables closest to the entrance. For a busy busy restaurant, it just feels really cramped if you sit near the entrance. I was fortunate enough to be able to sit at the side table closest to the entrance door--- so it wasn't as bad. However, there were still people standing and waiting for the table right next to me. Service: All the staff is busy taking orders and busy bringing items to the table. The food arrived really fast! As soon as the order was placed... I feel like the dish came in no time! Food:Lots of the typical Congee + Rice noodle rolls (what they are popular for) and other tradition snacks and drinks. Price point was good for the food!! I came with hubby and we each ordered our own RIce Noodle Rolls. Rice noodle rolls: The starred item is what we ordered. The pork +beef and beef+Chives+Shrimp was delicious. I love the soft rice noodle. it was so thin and smooth consistency. Not thick and doughy like some of the dim sum places. It is made perfectly and added with a little bit of the soy sauce which tasted really good!! We shared Lai Wan Style Congee--- They were really generous with the amount of fillings/ ingredient of squid. I feel like my whole bowl of congee was mostly squid (too much for me in my opinion because I didn't get a lot of other fish/meat ingredients). The congee was very smooth though. It was really well made! Though-- I can see myself completely just coming here for the Rice noodle rolls again. Frozen Milk tea: I ordered their "frozen milk tea".. I didn't know that it just meant that the milk tea was sitting in a bath of crushed ice to keep the tea Chilled. No ice was added in the milk tea so at least it didn't taste diluted at all. It was a good cup of milk tea but I think I can skip it next time. I was expecting more of "frozen blend of hk milk tea" but disappointed. Sweet fried dough: We ordered this but will SKIP next time. I didn't like how THICK it was. It was not light and airy like some other places that served the sweet fried dough. Will not order next time. Fried dough sticks: Ordered this to go along with our congee, but not necessary for next time. Wait time: ERRRRRR this is the most annoying part. You gotta wait for GOOD FOOD!!! It was a SUNDAY late lunch --- probably close to 1pm to 1:30pm but I think we still waiting at least 30-40 minutes for a table. I was crazy hungry before we got there. Even after we got seated, there was no down time in the lineup. Constantly there's new people coming in for tables and asking for table numbers. Even after we finished our meal (took probably 20-25 minutes to finish eating, there was still a long lineup and this was close to 2-2:30 pm). I don't think this place can go any faster and it is already running as efficiently as possible (quick food arrival and easy menu to choose from). It is just what you'll have to do to dine at a good place for yummy rice noodle rolls. Conclusion: I'd come back here for rice noodle!!! But.. I must see what other time is best to come to avoid the huge lineup/wait time and cramped style eating!
