| - I'm so in love with New City Restaurant. It's kinda been my go to place on Saturday afternoons now.
The menu is hefty with choices (as is any hong kong food place), and the food is reasonably priced.
The menu comes with pretty much anything that's standard with Hong Kong food and it's just super delicious here, with no complaints on the portion size.
The first time I had came here, I jumped in really quick with the $18.99 Sirloin steak. It comes on a hot plate sitting on top of some delicious french fries, and you can also choose another side to go with it. It comes with a soup also and a drink. The sirloin was a hell of a lot bigger than I had imagined, and in all honesty it's worth the big price tag. Everything about the dish was delicious, down to the fries and the gravy poured upon it.
The second time around, the fiance and I were super hungry and decided to both get a steak and fries choice, but this time being $7.99 (i believe) off the tea menu. And a bowl of your choice of noodles with a bunch of meats. Spam, hot dog, bacon, ham, pork belly you name it! We opted for instant noodles to go with this one. It also comes topped with 2 fried eggs.
The steak and fries were great, but fairly so, the steak wasn't as good as the humongous sirloin steak, but it's nearly half the price so I'm not complaining. The bowl of ramen was good, the soup base I was really so so about and don't really think it's worth raving about. Bu the amount of friggin' meat they put into this bowl made it 100x worth it! The instant noodles did remind me a lot of Mr.Noodle though, which kinda sucked.
Food and drinks come out super fast, which I can only assume it's because there's usually a line out the door so they kinda want to do a fast rotation of customers to limit the queue time.
This place is usually packed with a 15-20 minute waiting time during the lunch hour on weekends. So prepare for a wait. Absolutely worth going here though! This will always be my go to place for delicious Hong Kong food on the go .... Well, until I find something better.
