"Excellent. Food is very flavorful and freshly made.. Cooked with love and to perfection. Arrived hot and neatly packed, good-sized portions. It's worth the affordable price. My 1st time ordering from this place will definitely be ordering again. Curry Chicken Rice Plate咖喱鸡飯 It was so yummy! Cooked to perfection. Loved it. Lots of flavor. The only issue I had was it only had 3 small size pieces of chicken. It was more of a potatoe and onion curry than a chicken curry. Other than that, everything was perfect. Sweet and Sour Cod Fillet Rice 甜酸鱼飯 Yummy. "Cooked to perfection. Made with love. Shrimp Dumplings (4)虾餃 Yummy. Cooked to perfection. Made with love."
"I was looking thru doordash for dinner and found this place. I always read reviews and look at pics before ordering and this place had good reviews so i decided to place an order. I ordered 2 combo plates and wontons in hot oil. The food arrived quickly and was still hot upon arrival. I asked for a side of hot sauce but they didn't include it. Oh well. The food: -Prawns with Scrambled Eggs Rice 滑蛋蝦飯 was very good. Kind of a basic dish but it was done right. Perfectly cooked shrimp and salt level on the eggs. -Chicken with String Beans Rice Plate豆仔鸡飯 was delicious as well. Cooked in a yummy black bean sauce with perfectly crunchy green beans and moist chicken. Chow mein was good too. -Wonton With Hot Oil红油抄手 was enjoyable. The hot oil is actually hot and the wontons were good. All of the dishes i ordered were great and the portions were generous. The prices are also super affordable here which i appreciate. The quality of the food exceeded my expectations based on the price. I will be definitely be ordering from here again."

"Presentation of the Boiling Bejing fish was not appealing! It was like two fish sitting in mud! I could not eat it. But according to my kids it tasted okay. It had a five spice taste that I did not care for. Sweet and Sour whole fish was phenomenal! Yum! Walnut shrimp was a bit overcooked and so were the candied walnuts giving it a bitter taste. Also the tail skins were not removed. I did like that they added fresh pineapples to the dish! Overall I would order here again and try other dishes! "

"G1. Roasted Pork Belly (1lb) 脆皮燒豬腩肉(1磅) was good, W9. Night Market Beef Chow Fun (Wet) 濕炒牛河 was really good even though I wish there was more beef and veggies. It was a lot of noodles. X1. Shanghai Dumpling (5) / 上海小籠包 were also really good, just wish there were more. I will definitely order from here again."
"R1. Hainan Chicken with Yellow Rice 夜市海南雞飯 was very good. Chicken was very fresh and the meat is flavored just right. G1. Roasted Pork Belly (1lb) 脆皮燒豬腩肉(1磅)) comes in a close second. The rest is just ok. The popcorn S2. Popcorn Chicken / 香酥鹽酥雞 is cooked well but lacks significant flavoring. The S8. Fr ed Chicken Wings / 金黃炸雞翼 was only 5 pieces for $15 and overly saturated in cumin. I think they used the same seasoning for the popcorn chicken as the fried chicken."

"i love the porridge, but the one thing that i was kind of dissappointed in was the amount of chicken i got. i paid 6$ extra for some chicken and i only got a small portion. i was expecting more but i got maybe 4 pieces of chicken with bone. overall, the porridge was bomb but just disappointed in the portions."
"All good! I don't usually go for Walnut Prawn 核桃蝦球 these days, but it was well-executed (crunchy walnuts on the side, monstrous prawns in a mayo-dressing) and a fun change. The Braised duck with fresh mushroom and ginger 鮮冬菇老薑燜鴨煲 is a more Chinese presentation - you gotta nibble at the little duck bones. So good dish if you're ready to work at it a bit. Chinese Sausage & Dry Scallop Fried Rice 瑤柱臘味炒飯 was def a good break from traditional pork fried rice - sweet, dry Chinese sausage and the rice was well-textured with scallop bits in it. Finally, I'm always a sucker for Egg Custard Buns 奶皇流沙包 and these didn't disappoint - they're the orange variety, a bit gushy and squirty, sweet and still steamy. Glad I finally got a chance to try these guys and want to keep them in business. I will def return myself to try some of the good stuff I had to pass on this first visit -"

"Taste is great, the "regular spice" is not too spicy but it does have a nice kick. The smork tasted authentic and delicious! Portion is good, food are fresh. The green onion pancake is huge!! Most importantly, the dishes are not as oily or saucy as the other restaurants. Would order again!"

"Good Beef Brisket Curry with Rice 咖喱牛腩飯 love the spicy degree of it. Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings 椒鹽雞翼is normally good."
"The pork chop was very good. But definitely not what I expected based on the photo and description. It came breaded and fried. And very spicy. Which I love but not what I thought I was ordering. The picture and description sounds more like a roasted pork chop that's crispy from the roast not crispy from being breaded and fried. And what they mean by fresh herbs are green onion, garlic, and kung pao chili. Again I loved it. Just think people deserve transparency especially when spending $24 a plate. Not much of a fan of the price. A bit too pricy for a pork dish. I probably won't order it again based on the price alone. But if you want breaded and fried pork chops at least now you know what you're ordering. The chow mein is very basic, and so not worth $22!! The hot sour soup is very good. But I ordered it a couple nights ago and it was so good. Price is somewhat decent on this and you get a good amount. However, I ordered it tonight and it's ok but not as good two nights ago. It's different and that makes me disappointed cause when I find a place that makes a good hot sour soup I tend to return a lot for it. But now I'm apprehensive on returning cause of the inconsistencies. So all in all there is lack in consistency, transparency, and food is over priced. But still good."

I had the Traditional Lanzhou Hand Pulled Noodles 传统兰州牛肉拉面 and my gf had the noodle with pork ribs. The portions were very generous, enough for two meals! The broth was absolutely delicious and perfect for cold weather. I recommend getting the extra thin noodles to soak up more broth!"
"This is the second time I ordered from here and I liked this a lot. Beef Ribs & Daikon In Clear Broth Noodle Soup 清汤牛腩拉面 was super delicious. I got mine with the flat noodles and my partner got the regular noodles. The broth was really nice and everything tasted good. I do wish there was more daikon and bok choy, but it was fine as is. I also added a little bit of chili oil which took it to the next level. Today I finished the rest of my soup with grilled cheese and it was the perfect sacrilegious combo. 😂 Spicy Oil Dumpling 红油饺子 were also really good and I appreciate that they put the chili oil on the side so I could put my desired amount on there. I will definitely order again."
