Average Hot Pot Experience
My experience at this restaurant was for an average meal at a decent price. We ordered a set menu for 3 people, which came out to around $70 after tax and tip. I enjoyed the soup and the fried rice, but the beef was a little tough and the chicken didn’t seem very fresh. They do provide fruit to end the dinner, and the service was fine. The restaurant also offers hot pot if that's something you're interested in.

Rude Staff, Dry and Greasy Food
I've been to this restaurant twice, and unfortunately, both experiences were marred by very rude staff. The food quality was also disappointing. The BBQ pork was dry, and the roast duck was greasy and lacked flavor. The beef stir-fry with noodles was decent, but it wasn't enough to redeem the overall experience. I won't be returning.

Good Price, Salty Food
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. While the price was good, the food was generally too salty and oily. For example, the salty & black pepper steak was not edible as it was too salty.

Great Value Roast Pork & BBQ Pork
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed the good roast pork and BBQ pork (Char Siu). The service was friendly, and I was impressed by the value, with 5 dishes for under fifty bucks. My kids even asked to go again. I recommend trying it; you will like it👍.

Excellent Roasted Pork and Value!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed the great food and the price was unbeatable. The roasted pork was one of the best I've ever had. It was an incredible deal at $48 for 5 items. The service and atmosphere were also rated a perfect 5/5.

Excellent Food, Good Service and Atmosphere
Our party of six had an excellent dining experience. We opted for the 6-dish special meal, which included a steamed fish fillet. While the fish may not have been the freshest, it was a generous portion and tasted quite good. We were also pleased to be able to select garlic noodles, a personal favorite, as one of our dishes. The food was excellent, and we rated the service and atmosphere a 4 out of 5.

Delicious food, generous portions
We had the $98 dinner for 6, which was a lot of food. Everything was really delicious. We enjoyed a duck, a whole fish, and several other dishes, including one called "saliva chicken. " My Cantonese friend clarified that "saliva chicken" actually means "mouth watering. " The meal cost about $20 per person with tip.

Authentic Food, Great Value!
My family enjoys returning here for the good food, which is truly authentic. I particularly love their soya chicken, soup, veggies, and fish dishes. The combo set meals are an excellent deal. I'm looking forward to coming back again!

Decent Food, Service Could Be Better
I visited this restaurant on a busy weekday with a hearty appetite, choosing it because other places were full. I was seated quickly and browsed the menu. The service was alright, though there was only one server for a busy night. The dishes were good but not exceptional, though they certainly satisfied my hunger.

Great Hong Kong BBQ, Underwhelming Noodles
My experience at this restaurant was a mix of delicious highs and slight lows. The Hong Kong BBQ was a standout, and the crispy duck dish was truly delicious. However, the garlic noodles were a bit underwhelming. While the service was decent, it definitely could use some improvement. Despite these points, the affordable prices make this restaurant worth a visit.
