Certainly will be back and bring more friends. Had the Hearty Man's Combo with the Craffles (house made and was absolutely delicious). Craffles is like a croissant and waffle so very crispy on the outside and finished with a dusting of sugar powder. The sunny side eggs were cooked perfectly too. Also had the chicken bento box. Rice cooked perfectly and the chicken was moist. Very filling meal. Vibe is local neighbourhood. Not fancy but cozy and clean. Free parking on the side street.

It could be challenging to park your car during lunch time. The style of the cafe interior is Japanese simple style with Japanese servers. There are plenty of choices in the menu. I picked something simple to try as my first visit. Fried eggs in sunny side up with bacons and potato wedges - nicely cooked and I love the bacons were so crispy! The latte - taste nice and full body texture. I'd love to try this place again for lunch.

We arrived around 9:30 AM for brunch. On a typical day, I would have ordered the breakfast croissant, but I was feeling adventurous. I tried the chicken sandwich, which was served with fries topped with shredded Pecorino Romano. While the bun was pleasantly toasted, the chicken (with mayo, lettuce, and cucumber) lacked flavor. It tasted under-seasoned and needed an extra element to elevate it--perhaps pickles, cheese, or maybe even a different sauce to complement the flavor of the mayo. I found myself alternating bites of the sandwich with the fries, which were nicely crispy. The saltiness of the Pecorino actually helped balance the milder flavor of the chicken. To drink, I had a hot Americano. It was flavorful, not too watery, and served in a beautiful black mug. I would recommend this cafe if you are in the Richmond area and looking for a relaxing place to spend time with family or friends!

It is fairly close to the airport and is open till late or maybe still 24 hours. It was 24 hours before covid, not sure about now. The 24 hour sign was not lit when we came here at night. Part of the restaurant was reserved so we were seated at the booth next to the side door. I just wanted a beef brisket and wonton noodle soup which seems to be available at Cantonese restaurants. The soup hit the spot. Flavorful and a bit shrimpy taste. The dish was filled with beef brisket and it was not all fatty parts. There were only three wontons which were pretty big. At about $15, the price was decent. My friends had the honey bbq pork with rice and noodle soup. The portion was big for a small (rice comes in bowl). There were two rows of the meat. They liked it too. I think this place is great for the quintessential Cantonese fare like char siu and wonton noodle.

Classic move: cash only (very on brand for Chinese spots ). Sat down, service was quick, and next thing I knew... I demolished all 6 wings like it was my first meal of the day. Crispy, insanely flavorful, piping hot, and perfectly seasoned -- the kind of wings that don't even need sauce. No regrets. Worth every bite.

That being said, I was lucky to snag a pair of seats that were shared with another couple, when those people left. Finding a seat here is polite but cutthroat!

I got the popcorn chicken meal. Solid amount of chicken and all very savory and crunchy. It came with a small tea. My partner got the kuay teow which was also very good in flavor and portion.

I remember my grandma taking me to the WS in the 70s (oh my do I date myself) & me freaking out like a little school girl, over the glass that I had my drink in. I wanted that glass so badly I cried. Grandma tried to buy it for me. Gawd bless her soul. Back in the day the WS would draw families in with their kids via The Pirate Pack. The kids meal would be served on a Pirate Pak - a paper / cardboard boat & my brother & I, in fact every kid would go absolutely bonkers! Not sure if that still happens today? Ah those we're the days when I had no bills or stress. I had not been to the WS in over 30 years nor did I miss it. A few years ago, the WS went through a major renovation updating the interior decor at all their restaurants. However, it still feels old to me. My Monty Burger was just ok. Couldn't really taste the 'secret sauce' WS is famous for. My cocktail - good. The highlight & sensation - my chocolate milkshake - it was excellent. I almost might go back just for that. These days the crowd at WS is mainly of the geriatrics type, according to my observation. This older generation must have come here frequently as kids & as a result, still love the WS today. Kudos to them. The WS continues to be a popular restaurant to eat at for many - I can't explain why. Each to his own. Do I need to go back anytime soon - nah.
