Monday lunch after 1pmish, she offered to even give us tupperwares of soup since they said they'll be tossing after lunch is done. I feel soup is usually not allowed to-go even if there's leftovers from dining, and definitely not when ordering take-out. Soup and rice are usually dine-in benefits. So given soup to go was really nice! What we got this time 5/11/26 Monday 1pmish visit: (After Mother's day) -- #1. Pan fried string beans with lunches pork and pickled olives $12.99 #3. Eggplant and minced pork with garlic sauce $12.99 #18. Beef and Tomato $13.99. Maybe not for us next time. #23. Sauteed Chicken with Bay Leaves $13.99. We've visited several times.

The SO did like these dishes before too. #26 Sauteed squid with black bean sauce. #57 Preserved vegetables with pork intestine. Jellyfish cold appetizer is decent from here too.

The beef noodle soup is one of the best I've had around here. Really flavorful dark broth but not too salty or heavy on the soy sauce. Chewy thick noodles. Softened bok choy. The beef was a hit and miss, some pieces were tender and juicy and others was a bit on the drier side. Also their popcorn chicken literally felt like twice the size of any other place but at a cheaper price. It's everything you want a popcorn chicken to be. I like that you can customize the spiciness too. I am excited to return, and I hear a lot of their other items are fantastic too.

This was my first time trying their sesame noodles and it was delicious! It was nutty, chewy, and perfectly sauced up. I was even dipping the popcorn chicken in the sauce. The teas always come in HUGE cups. The mango tea is my favorite. I would say their tea is usually on the sweeter side. Safe to say this place never fails me.

My crew and I went on a Friday night, and even though it was very busy, we were seated fairly quickly. There were four of us, and here's what we ordered: chicken fried rice, Shanghai-style chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, and juicy pork dumplings. Chicken Fried Rice: It was soft and pillowy with great flavor, though I felt it could have used a bit more color. It looked a little pale, but it was still delicious. Shanghai-Style Chow Mein: This was perfect. The flavor was spot on, the sauce was well-balanced, and the noodles had the ideal texture. The ratio of noodles, vegetables, and meat was just right. Sweet and Sour Chicken: This was the highlight for me. My only regret is not ordering more to take home. The chicken was crispy without being overdone, and it was coated in that delicious sweet and sour sauce. Juicy Pork Dumplings: We were at a dumpling house, so we had to order dumplings. These did not disappoint. They were very flavorful, and the broth inside was rich and satisfying. We originally planned to order more dishes, but the portions were generous, and we ended up with just the right amount to leave satisfied. Overall, this place lives up to the hype. I can't wait to come back and try more.

my friend and i stopped by here for lunch…read more - the inside was nice and we got seated right away - we got the chive & pork dumplings and the spicy wontons (w/ pork & shrimp). the dumplings (4.3/5) was yummy and flavorful, our favorite out of the two dishes. the spicy wontons (4.1/5) weren't that spicy but it was also flavorful with the shrimp and pork combo. we did use the spicy sauce from the wontons as a dip for our dumplings and it made it taste yummier. - although the food was yummy, the service was slow. it took a while for them to not only ask for our orders but it took a long time (~30 minutes) for our food to come out. the table that ordered after us got their food before us and they had a bigger party...the servers that were cleaning the tables even looked over at our table and saw that we didn't get our food yet. we got our wontons first and then ~10 minutes got our wontons which made the overall service very slow. overall, this was a decent place to try out during lunchtime.

Pork soup dumplings - Comes out steaming hot. Delicious soup with great umami and extremely tender pork. They do not provide ginger. Crispy noodles with seafood - We asked for the sauce on the side so the noodles would stay crispy. They were indeed crispy, but the sauce was terribly bland. Lots of seafood though. Fried pork buns - Very doughy but in a wet and unpleasant way. Also would not order again. Fried rice noodles with beef - Extremely greasy with beef that tastes like nothing; would not order again. No wok flavor. Scallop and egg white fried rice - Solid rendition of a famous fried rice dish. No complaints. Overall extremely disappointed by the food this time, as I recall really enjoying this place as a teenager maybe 10 years ago or so. Perhaps the choice of dishes we made this time was poor, or maybe their opening of more locations has led to a quality decrease. Portions are also smaller thanks to shrinkflation.

It's pretty good here and they have complimentary refills! They're known for their rice noodle rolls here and you can order them, along with their small dim sum menu, all day long. The wonton noodles here were just $13.98! They come with 5 large wontons and vegetables over wonton noodles. I always recommend adding chili oil. The steamed spareribs on steamed rice have some bones, just like the ones you find at dim sum. But there's a lot of meat in the steamed rice bowl for a single person. Free parking in rear parking lot. Entrance at the front on Garvey Ave. They have 2 entrances in front now. Left door for to-go orders and right door for dine-in.

Couldn't find the spot at first in the plaza but it is located near a McDonald's. Looked big from outside but was a decent size inside with a good amount of tables and seating space.

Saw that the Beef Noodle Soup was good so I had to try it, the beef broth was delicious and I love bok choy so they had me at bok choy! Beef was nicely cooked too, I liked it! Dan Dan noodles were okay and it felt like it was spicy peanut butter but still good, just not my favorite. But the pork dumplings (xiao long bao) was YUMMY. It really hit the spot when we grabbed one each and the warmth and taste was delicious. Definitely my favorite! Pork and crab dumplings were good too!

Dare I say, this is my favorite cafe ever. Whenever my friends come over, I will always bring them here to enjoy a Hong Kong style cafe. This location specifically is located in Atlantic Times Square with plenty of underground parking available. It will get busy at times but the last level always has some parking available. The only downside about this plaza is that the elevators take forever to go up and down and certain staircases offered aren't maintained and will lead you to the outside trash can area and will have you walking around to try and find the hallway that leads to the plaza. My family and I came on a Thursday early-ish dinner around 6pm and there were a few tables available for us to sit at. You're greeted with a lot of Hong Kong staples, MTR signs, train station signs, the milk tea cart, and plenty more. There are plenty options for delicious food in their menu that cater different cravings. We got 4 different dishes and 2 drinks and the total came out to be $91 after tax and tips! Food: Sweet and Sour Sole Fish (8.2/10): This was my favorite dish growing up so there is some bias around my opinion. It's fried sole fish that's drenched in a sweet and sour sauce that has vegetables in it. If you've had sweet and sour pork, they use the same sauce but instead of pork, it's sole fish. There's a perfect amount of sauce on top and you won't run out before you finish your dish. Salted Chicken Wings and Squid (8/10): This one is an appetizer! It comes with 4 chicken wings and a lot of fried squid and garnished with peppers and green onions. I love that the fried squid isn't drenched in the batter and adds a nice thin crispy layer on top of the squid. The chicken wing does have a little bit of pinkness in the bones but it was perfectly cooked with juicy chicken and crispy skin! Ground Meat and Egg Rice (8/10): There's an over-easy egg on top of the rice and you break it so the yolk bleeds in and you have chunks of egg white mixed into the rice. It's ground meat, furikake(I think?), grilled onions, and white rice! There's a sauce In the ground meat but I'm not sure how to describe it but it tastes amazing. You definitely need to mix everything together until it's well combined. Grilled Chicken Steak w/ Mushroom Sauce (8/10): This is a staple to cafes (at least in my family and extended family)! It's a chicken breast pan fried to have a crispy skin and you dip it into a sauce of your choice! We usually get the mushroom sauce because it compliments the juicy chicken well. It's not a liquid-y sauce but more of a thicker creamy sauce. It also comes with a side of broccoli and corn so it doesn't feel as heavy. The carbs that come with the dish is either white rice or spaghetti.
