| - Okay I liked this place way more than I thought I would.
Healthy Cantonese cuisine? ....but why she asks?
In fact this place doesn't self-proclaim to be healthy, but you can see from all their offerings that they are a notch above what you'd expect from a food court Chinese stand. Whole wheat noodles, brown rice, fresh vegetables.... it's everything your friendly neighborhood Chinese takeout restaurant isn't, and in a very good way. Their menu is very simple, basically just a rice option and a noodle soup option, along with their daily specials.
I have to give a shoutout to the gentleman working the front at this place, I think Jennifer W. describes him well; he's humble, patient and kind. I wouldn't describe him as overly friendly, but he offers the best kind of customer service in my opinion. Once you see him you'll know exactly what I mean.
As for the food, it's not overly flavorful. It isn't really truly Cantonese for this reason, but I love that the meals here are filling without being overly greasy or heavy.... and for FIVE DOLLARS. How could you possibly beat that? I actually didn't even think there was a place in the city where you could get a tasty, filling and nutritious meal for that cheap.
I ordered the noodle soup with chicken and it was perfect. The broth was quite mild, nothing too flavorful, but also not overloaded with MSG. The best part were the oh-so-crunchy vegetables... snap peas, green onions, even julienned cucumber along with tender pieces of white meat chicken. I truly think you can't go wrong here. I only wish that they weren't cash only, but really it's hard to complain when almost all their lunch specials are $4.99.
