| - Came here for lunch on a Sunday.
Make sure to come early or make reservations because the restaurant does get filled due to them having roughly 25-30 seats available.
Decor/atmosphere, it is decently decorated, nothing fancy. They don't play loud music so it is nice, good place to chat with others.
Service, typical Chinese, they did come by to take our order which is nice since I normally expect to flag someone down. They did come by once to get the bread basket back and once to refill our tea. No issues here.
Food, typical Chinese cafe food in my opinion. It seems to be rated well, but I don't understand why. Meals all seemed to be combos where you would get a soup and drink or some where you just get a drink. Things like baked pork chop on rice, curry chicken, and some Italian pastas are present in the menu.
Cost, for a lunch combo (I didn't see an option for it not to be) it includes a soup (clam chowder or borscht along with garlic bread), a Chinese style drink (hot milk tea or coffee, cold drinks was $1.25 extra) and your main dish (they have a variety of baked dishes like pork chop, ox tongue, curries, and others) for roughly $10 before tax/tip. Price isn't bad for what you get, seems typical for what I expect to pay.
I don't think I'd come back. I wouldn't say it isn't worth it, but it is your typical Chinese cafe. If you didn't have to wait, it is okay, but I don't think it is worth waiting for. We arrived at 11am when it opened and it didn't fill up quickly, but by the time we left at around 12:30pm, there were customers waiting outside to come in.
Cash only! This is slightly annoying to find out at the end (unless we missed the sign).
