| - To be honest, I haven't had Hong Kong style café food in a long time. Granted I've been in a HK Café deprived area (UCI campus), the food here is pretty kick ass. The restaurant is in kind of a marketplace and has plenty of parking when I went. It kind of smelled like Boiling Crab, but then Cravin' Cajun is right across the street. As we walked in, I noticed that the whole restaurant was really nice, from décor, to cleanliness, to ambiance and we were welcomed quickly and shown to our table.
I'm guessing it's more of a family owned restaurant, the people who looked like owners had a table towards the counter and was always discussing something with the waitresses. Regardless the waiter and waitresses were always a willing to accommodate requests and one of the waitresses ALWAYS refilled my water. I don't know if I have noted this before but I always down water like a water buffalo and I swear she refilled it every time it got close to low.
Above and beyond? Fasho, especially for a Chinese restaurant.
I have most definitely noted this before in other reviews, but I hate rating places based on service, but service is outstanding, so had to point it out.
We ordered:
Salty Fish with Chicken fried Rice
Shredded Chicken with Rice Noodles
Chef's Special Fried Chicken Wings
Seafood and Rice Soup
Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce
I'm not entirely sure why my friends and I (3 of us) ordered so much food but we were so full afterwards, the portions are generous and made spectacularly. I was skeptical of the Seafood and rice soup since it wasn't the porridge, just rice and seafood in soup but it was pretty good, salted well and they weren't cheap with the seafood either. The chicken wings were so crispy and delicious, and actually had a bit of salt and pepper kick to it. Not too spicy though, my friend who doesn't eat spicy at all ( like literally none) handled it pretty well.
The Chinese broccoli wasn't boiled to death, and they didn't use crap chicken with the shredded chicken with rice noodles. Not something I'd exactly order again since I can go to an actual chicken noodle place to get it but it was not bad, noodles were soft and not broken either. Oh the Salty Fish with Chicken Fried rice was kick ass too. It wasn't extremely salty fish and it was cooked and seasoned pretty well. Might make yo breath stank, but hey, quality over almost everything else.
Cheers and enjoy your time here, I'll most definitely be back.
