Went here for lunch twice and it keeps getting busier and busier as Chinese people spread the news like wildfire. They have a large congee, rice noodle, noodle and rice menu, a nice BBQ meats section, an interesting small Thai section and lunch specials all around. You can ask for a lunch menu where you get a side + rice/noodle, soup, an egg roll and a drink. You can also get a noodle soup special that's similar to place like Deer Garden Signatures where you choose your noodle, two toppings and broth. Dishes are huge so be happy when you get to bring home a second meal.
Decor is very bright and seating is very spacious. There are many large round tables that are definitely for dinner service and a lot of booth tables that cater to the lunch service. Hey you, the person that gets offended when the server asks if you're alright with sharing tables? Don't get offended and thinking you're a lesser customer, it's common for Chinese restaurants to fill up larger tables with strangers. If you want to wait for a private booth go ahead but don't complain that you were offered this option because this place will be busy over the next few months.
The first time around I got the Fried Chili Turnip Patties and BBQ Duck with Thick Vermicelli in Soup. Turnip patties are an all around favourite, this wasn't spicy at all unfortunately BUT if you dip it in the chili sauce that's usually put on your table in a small plastic container, instantly 10x better. Even though the sauce is a bit salty, it's worth it (even hours later as my mouth was still dry). The noodle soup was huge and the duck was on a side dish, with about 6 pieces and a side of plum sauce. My only complaint was that they gave me a neck piece which usually is a throwaway or "specialty" piece. I didn't come for the bones.
Second time I had Cold HK-Style Milk Tea and Fried Rice Noodle with Shrimp & Scrambled Egg Sauce. My milk tea was a bit sweet for me but probably good for the normal population of humans. My favourite rice noodle dish was a very large dish, with tons of shrimp and covered in the glistening goodness of scrambled egg sauce. No complaints about that one.
Servers were very nice and quick. Yes they speak English. You know the service is better when they help scoop your leftovers in your takeout box. Overall good experience! Since it's so close to me I'm sure I'll be back especially to try their dinner service.
