"I wish the take away milk tea cup can be a little more bigger size with least 400ml would be nice. The food are ok just find too oily for stir fry noodle. Plenty of car park near by and good for walk about and do some groceries near by."

"We normally eat at another Hong Kong cafe for their milk tea, but as their food had declined in taste over time, we were in search of another place where both the milk tea and food were on par with Hong Kong’s standards and this newly opened restaurant exceeded our expectations. We accidentally spilt our iced yin yeung and they very kindly made us another one despite us embarrassingly telling them they did not have to. Although their menu is not massive like some of the other Hong Kong cafes, they did an exceptional job with what we ordered. We will definitely return."

"So traditional Hong Kong cafe. Love the feel, reminds me of HK. Food reminds me of home cooked food. So good. The noodles had a very flagrant smokey smell and taste. Just brilliant"

"Authentic Hong Kong cafe with plenty of car parking on site. The menu has a good range of choices, from the common set menu to stir fry dishes to HK style desserts. The quality was very good given there are plenty of disappointing ones in the surrounding suburbs."

"Had pleasure of enjoying Hong Kong cuisine and was surprised by the presentation. The portions were much larger than they appeared in the menu photos, offering great value. The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly. The authentic drinks were a delightful addition. I look forward to visiting again for another taste of their delicious offerings!"

"First time to this new restaurant. They have another branch in city on Russell St. That one is still popular with long queue. We ordered 3 rice dishes. I loved the baked tomato pork chop of which the tomato base sauce is very profound and has the right sweetness. The pork is tender too. My friend said the other white sauce baked chicken is salty or sour. They couldn't tell Anyway I will definitely go back for the milk tea and baked tomato sauce pork chop."

"This Hong Kong–style Chinese restaurant delivers a solid and comforting dining experience. The creamy Portuguese chicken was quite enjoyable, with a rich sauce that paired well with the chicken. The chicken rice, however, was fairly average and didn’t stand out as much. The curry fish balls were a highlight — nicely seasoned and pleasantly bouncy in texture. What really impressed me were the desserts and drinks, which were surprisingly good and well worth trying. Overall, a nice spot for casual Hong Kong-style comfort food, especially if you have a sweet tooth."
