| - This place was remodeled/rebranded a few years ago from its previous moniker of "The Sugar". Back then, as the name would suggest, they marketed themselves more as a Chinese desserts and tea place. Puzzlingly, even though now they've rebranded as an all-out restaurant, their Chinese name hasn't changed. (Da You Ming Tang - a cute pun in Chinese.)
I basically only come here when I'm too lazy to go further, since it's in my neighbourhood. I also only ever get one thing: their combo of a main dish + bubble tea + pudding, which is of great value. Otherwise, it's not really worth it. Their bubble tea is just okay, and most of the food I've had there is meh.
The interior is nice although a little weird. I thought this Yelper's description was hilarious -- "The ominous glow of green inside the restaurant reminds me of a poor TVB portrayal of what hell looks like." -- since that's exactly what my HK friends thought as well.
Oh yeah, also they're the only place I know that seems to serve what I think is date tea. It might be weird if you haven't had it before, and most of my friends (who are Chinese) don't like it, but I love it.
I haven't had their desserts here, which might be good, based on other reviews. Maybe they should have stuck to being a desserts place.
