| - I am 100% Cantonese and lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 18 years. I was pleasantly surprised to find this place several years ago and regularly go here for my fix of traditional Cantonese favorites. It's not the most amazing Cantonese food I've ever had, but considering this is Cleveland, I have to give them mad props. This is a no-frills Chinese place, just the way I like it. The waitresses can sometimes be coarse or in a hurry, but just be patient. You're here for the food, not the service.
I love the noodle soups. I don't like seafood/wonton, so I usually opt for roast pork, roast duck or braised beef with it. Eating here almost tastes like home and makes me pretty happy. The portion sizes are reasonable and with tax and tip, I usually pay about $9. If you get it with rice instead, it comes with sweet soy sauce; be sure to ask for it on the side if you do. They can sometimes drench it and it's kind of hard to pick up wet rice with your chopsticks.
I've certainly ventured outside of my usual noodle soups, and they're just as good, but not memorable. They have a house special fried noodle that is humongous! It's definitely for two meals and is $10.
If you like Hong Kong style milk tea, you can order it here. Beware, HK style refers to it being pretty strong and bitter in taste, so this is for those who know what they're getting in. I'm personally not a big fan, so I only got it once or twice to try.
