| - You probably wouldn't even know that this place existed unless you had eagle eyes or a friend who told you about it. Go up the narrow flight of stairs and you'll find yourself in a simple, no-frills spot. Decor leaves much to be desired, but that's not what you're here for now, is it?
Came here for lunch this past Sunday around 1pm, and the place was packed. They had lunch specials that day ($7.50) and I ordered the garlic sauce steak with spaghetti, which also came with a soup (minestrone, cream of corn or seaweed) and a drink. The plate was HUGE and we had a hard time fitting everyone's dishes on the table. The food was tasty, but nothing spectacular. Minestrone tasted a little diluted. My honey-lemon drink was pretty good (costs an extra buck though). I'd be curious to try some of their other menu items, because I love HK-style Western food!
Service was...hmm, how should I put it, authentic? One of the servers was a little snippy, but the other was quite friendly and patient in explaining the specials, and wasn't annoyed (at least not outwardly haha) when we called her back to change one of our orders. This place was very understaffed. We didn't get our drinks until halfway through the meal and the main courses arrived before our soups...but you overlook it, seeing how busy these guys are (the poor dude at the counter was up to his elbows washing glasses and handling the cash register)! Other than the university students chatting away in English, this place almost makes you feel like you're in Hong Kong.
