| - I was delighted to find a Hong Kong style cafe in Vegas, which for a long time I thought were non-existent. I've been here about 8 times and I've had mixed experiences.
The food here is dirt cheap, especially if you order the lunch special. You can get stuff like baked pork chop rice, curry seafood, and wonton noodle soup for five dollars or less. They also have some uniquely Hong Kong stuff like spareribs rice noodles (jiu cheng fung) and egg waffles.
I've ordered the baked pork chop rice almost every time, as it is one of my favorite dishes (not from here, but in general). And I'll have to say the BPCR from here is pretty unpredictable. Some days it's pretty good, and on other days... PUKE! Puke, mainly because all the "pork chops" on the rice are fat and bones, and you won't know until you bite into them as they are concealed by bright orange sauce. This happened a couple of times when I ordered it.
I guess if you are really craving BPCR, this is one of the few places (that I know of) in Vegas where you can get it. And for 5 dollars it's worth a gamble that you may end up with a baked pork fat and bones rice.
Another thing that's unpredictable is the boba milk tea. I also get that a lot and it's usually fine, but the last time I was there the bobas weren't chewy. They were like cake balls. Yuck. I suppose it's standard for cheap Asian restaurants to keep serving stuff that's gone old or bad.
I also wouldn't recommend their dinner menu. It's "regular" priced and while it's not awful, nearby places like HK Star and KJ Kitchen have much better food overall.
