Casserole rice/clay pot rice is a staple comfort food for the Cantonese. Although the restaurant itself is small with limited seats, the amount of food you get for around 8-15 dollars is completely worth the wait. Be prepared to wait out the door on the weekend (sometimes even on weekdays) during dinner hours , as they do not take reservations. The service style at this restaurant is very traditional - the waitress gives you a small sheet of paper and their menu to write down your order number.
The menu itself has a LOT of topping options. I've never been unsatisfied with any of my selections. You can order additional toppings such as a raw egg or more meats at an extra cost.
If you order a casserole rice, it comes with a portion of fresh veggies and a nice hearty unsalted soup that you can salt to your liking. The portion of the casserole rice is decent - probably around 3-5 portions of a standard Chinese rice bowl. For those who do not know what a casserole rice is, they essentially cook the rice and whatever toppings you choose in a hot clay pot. The topping gives the rice all the flavour and aromas, and the clay pot crisps some of the rice to give it extra flavours and textures.
If you do not like waiting, ordering take out from them is just as good. They cook their casserole rice in the aluminum take out bowl, and it still achieves the same quality and taste. The food inside still remains very hot (to the point where it cooks a cracked raw egg), even after 20 minutes.
Would definitely recommend this place to everyone!
