| - Came here 2 times over a span of 3 days. First time with a couple friends and Husband that recommended this place, and the second time just with the Husband.
The first time we arrived was on a Sunday afternoon, and luckily our friends got there before us to grab a number for a table. They warned us that this place is pretty hopping, so it was a good move on their part to arrive early!
Once we arrived, my friends just got the table, so the timing was perfect. We deliberated quite a bit on what to order, but after looking at the tantalizing menu, we decided on the Sliced Fish Congee ($5.25), Crispy Cantonese Chow Mein ($10.25), Fried Bean Curd with Vegetable ($9.50), Fried Chili Turnip Patties ($5.95), and Shrimp Wonton Soup ($4.75). For 4 people, this was PLENTY OF FOOD. Of the above mentioned dishes, the standout ones were definitely the chow mein, congee, and the turnip patties. The wonton were decent, but they were just pure shrimp. I was expecting it to be a mixture of shrimp and pork, but the size was a just right. The chow mein had the right amount of crisp and bounce to it without being too soggy from the sauce. I loved that the sauce was not a clear corn starchy mess like many places I have visited before. It was flavorful, light, and had a little hoisin in it. Not too much, just enough. The variety of seafood was plentiful, and didn't overpower the amount of noodles. I liked the turnip patties as well because they were not over starchy and oily. Too many times are these delicate beauties overdone, and way too salty and oily. I really liked Congee Queen's result, and with the added spice, a real winner. The congee had a nice base, but it would have been awesome had there been more ginger slices mixed in with it. The tofu was a very generous portion and had a nice sauce, but just a tad too oily. Flavor was spot on though.
Decor is nice with a modern and contemporary minimal feel to it. The dark wooden slats that flank each booth table complement the neutral light wooden panels that serve as the main color throughout the restaurant. It's light and airy, and the there's a nice flow to the restaurant layout.
Service is pretty efficient and prompt, and they also don't rush you out of there, even though there are a lot of people waiting for a table. The only downfall is that since this is a hopping place, it tends to get loud, but I think it's definitely worth coming back, and I would highly recommend it.
