The Six is more a Chinese restaurant that doubles as a HK style cafe at lunch. Going with their namesake, the Six has a very modern feel. Word of warning, this place gets extremely loud when it's full.
When you come for lunch, you're basically only given the lunch menu. It has a good assortment of HK style cafe dishes. I believe you can ask for the dinner menu which has a lot more on it.
One thing you notice immediately upon walking in is how loud this place is. The acoustics are just horrible. They haven't used anything to dampen sound here. When the place is at capacity, you can barely hear the person across from you. Our youngest could not sleep at all with all the noise happening. Thankfully, we came in during the tail end of lunch. After about 20 minutes, the place starting emptying out. When it was less than half full, the noise was much more bearable.
We ordered the beef with egg sauce rice noodle and the black pepper chicken steak on rice. The food comes out rather quickly which is nice when you're in a rush. Going along with some of the previous reviews, the food tastes a bit over salted. From my pics you can see that they gave me a lot of black pepper sauce. The sauce was a little too salty and overpowered the dish a little. The portions though, are very good for the price you're paying.
As with most lunch specials, you get a drink with your meal. You can pay a little extra for a cold drink. When you order a cold drink, it comes in container like you would get if you ordered a milk tea from a tea shop. It's a very good size as well so you get your value and get to take it with you should you not finish it.
All in all, the Six is a solid entry in the neighbourhood. If they step up their food game a little more, it will be even better.
