| - Came here today for lunch with my mom after checking out the Yelp page and website. I live close by and had always wanted to try O.M.G. before it went defunct.
We heard this restaurant is related to another HK cafe we frequent but couldn't confirm whether that was true or not. We went around 1:30pm and were seated promptly -- it wasn't too busy since it was slightly after the lunch rush. The menu we were given was just one page double-sided, but we noticed that there was a fair mix of cuisines (sushi, pasta, curry).
I got the "mixed grilled with rice" (there's a typo on the menu) and my mom got the "pork cutlet salad". Both meals were served with soup (borscht or cream) and milk tea/coffee.
The pork cutlet salad seemed fine -- only thing to mention was that the honeydew melon slices that were served with the dish didn't seem that ripe so they were a bit hard to chew on.
For the mixed grilled with rice, the Chinese on the menu indicated it was a mix of beef steak, pork chop, and lamb chop. However, when my plate came, there was only a pork chop, a lamb chop, and two sausages. I guess they didn't have steak??? Or they didn't bother because the pork chop they gave me was pretty big. I didn't ask about it and shrugged it off, but the English on the menu should make it more clear what will be served to the customer.
The milk tea that was served with the meal could be better. It was still pretty bitter and not as creamy/silky as other HK cafe places I've been to. Also the tea mugs weren't very full with the milk tea.
Overall, portion size was good and prices are decent for the amount of food given to you. I'll come back again to see what their curries are like.
A suggestion for the restaurant would be to make the English portion of the menu a little bit more clear about what is being served -- some of the dish names are very ambiguous (I can sort of read Chinese so that kind of helped me today but it won't help clientele that do not understand the language). Having inconsistent menu items will not only confuse the customer, but also create misunderstandings.
Regarding Vivi C.'s comment about the $7.50 minimum order per person -- this is written at the bottom of the menu in Chinese, but not in English. I think it would be better if the restaurant was a little bit more transparent about this policy because it will definitely make customers upset if it's not indicated visibly in English as well.
