| - I was hankering for some authentic Chinese dessert and dragged the husband along with me. After some extensive searching on Yelp, I figured this is a good place to try out.
When you walk in, the store is relatively cramped. We shared a table with others. I usually don't mind, but I didn't take into account that the girl sitting next to me had ordered a durian dessert (you either love it or hate it). While I was sitting there, all I could do was try not to gag.
Their mango sago was $5. Although they used fresh mangos, the dessert was quite small and the mangos were not ripe. In a few spoonfuls, my husband finished his dessert up.
After my husband finished his dessert, about 20 min later, I finally got my steamed egg white with black seasame paste. It was steaming hot and the portion size was decent. That was definitely the tastier dessert of the two.
The atmosphere is loud, not because of the close seating, but because of the obnoxious TV show they were streaming. It would stop at random spots and it was hard to tune out.
Now, I know it's hard to complain about Chinese restaurants for hygiene because it happens so frequently, I'm going to complain anyways. The two waitresses were doing cash and serving. One waitress used her bare hands to dress a dessert with fruit. And I am quite certain, sitting next to their till (cash register) and hand washing station, that they did not wash their hands.
I liked my dessert and if someone were to go, I'd recommend the steamed egg white. Personally, I think this place was an once and done type of place. 2.5 stars.
