| - This place. This. Place.
Let me shoo out the elephant in the room here - I am white. I really like HK-style food although I haven't had a ton of experience with it. I don't feel that this was the problem here - I genuinely think this place has some issues.
They only take cash, which is annoying but not a deal-breaker. What's the deal-breaker? I would say the food quality, for the most part. I ordered a seafood dish with cream sauce over rice - there was actually a lot of seafood, but I got some shell bits. The sauce was fine and the rice was good. The (white, not red) clam chowder that came with it was good, as was the garlic bread.
My companion's dish, however - steak with fruit and potato salad. The potato salad was sweet and loaded with mayonnaise, the fruit was flaccid, and the meat - oh my goodness. Neither of us were convinced it was beef - I thought it may have been horse meat, but my dining partner (who has actually eaten horse) thought it was something more sinister. The meat was greasy, slippery, and chewy. There was gristle in the middle. How????
I mean, they were obviously trying here, with the presentation and everything. I just can't deal with the glistening meat slab of unknown origin surrounded by, like, apple slices. smh
