| - I drove by this place and felt like trying it, since Hong Kong-style steakhouse food is not that commonplace. I walked in with just modest expectations and was quite pleasantly surprised, and since then I kept going back and became more and more impressed.
The first time I was there, I ordered the assorted steaks/chops entree. It's already a big dish, but I hadn't known that they give you buttered toast, soup *and* a very well made salad on top of it, with the salad including potatoes, fruit, lettuce as well as a substantial amount of ham. The meats in the entree weren't uniformly great -- the pork chop was a bit stale tasting, and the sausage is terrible -- but most of it was delicious, with the chicken and beef being extremely well seasoned and tender.
I've since done something I rarely do, whcih is go back several times a week while trying a different thing each time. They have an "African-style" spicy chicken that's something I've never seen anywhere else. It's a large, firm chicken steak, but the flavour is the special part, a great tangy, hot, yet also sweet concoction. I had the baked ox tongue with spaghetti for lunch on another visit and it was excellent. Another time I tried the bargain meals from a menu with mostly items under $8; the spaghetti in soup with beef was above average, and the meal also came with two breakfast eggs with ham, all for under $7. The sizzling plate with salmon and beef was also quite good, though the salmon wasn't a tail so it had quite a few bones in and was a bit fishy, but acceptable.
I've never had any fried pork cutlet anywhere that merited mention, but this one does -- two huge slabs, with a perfect balance between crispy exterior and moist, tender interior, and a mayonnaise-like sauce that complements very well. And the Thai fried rice with prawns is one of the best fried-rice dishes I've ever had; its price tag is a bit high, but it's extremely flavourful, the portion is large, and not only do you get delicious grilled prawns (for an extra fee), but also what seems to be Chinese BBQ pork included.
The prices at this place are much more in line with the huge bargains people from Hong Kong are used to. The decor is very good, and the serving staff is pleasant and fairly efficient. Extra points for the visual presentation of the food. The photos on this Yelp page do not do this place justice; there definitely seemed to be special care in making the dishes look as good as they taste.
