Fast and efficient service. Cash only. It’s a small cafe with only a few small tables. A little run down but fine for take out. It’s a Hong Kong style cafe so more like Chinese fast food. So don’t expect the food to be like at table service Chinese restaurants. However, it’s authentic so not the Americanized food like Panda Express. We got chicken wings, salted fish and chicken fried rice, vegetables with garlic, and Hong Kong stir fried ramen. They were all good - a little greasy but that’s expected since fried or stir fry. There’s a parking lot in back.
I order takeout from here pretty often, during breakfast/lunch hours. It’s a classic cha chan tang spot, and I tend to stick to my usual. The ham macaroni soup with a fried egg is a staple. It comes with peas, and while it’s comforting, the broth itself is a bit on the bland side. I also usually get the steamed rice rolls with peanut sauce, sweet hoisin, and soy sauce, which are consistently satisfying and well balanced. Overall, it’s a solid, no frills meal at a reasonable price.
Dangerous and unacceptable This is the third time I have found metal wire from a cleaning steel brush in the food. This is a serious safety hazard and shows a complete lack of hygiene control. Food quality is awful: the aluminum containers are shallow and much smaller in volume than plastic containers, resulting in tiny portions. The potatoes have a strange smell, are often overcooked and mushy, and some dishes are excessively salty. It’s basically white rice with a few food on top. Unsafe, poor quality, and not worth the money. Never coming back. Avoid this place.
