Authentic Canto Desserts & Happy Hour
My experience at this restaurant was a delightful trip back to the Hong Kong of the 70s and 80s, thanks to their authentic Canto desserts. I particularly enjoyed the yummy fish balls, fried chicken wings, sandwiches, and fries. To finish, a comforting bowl of hot sesame and almond soup with sesame or peanut glutinous rice balls was perfect. The special “Happy Hour” menu was a great deal. The service was prompt, and the ambience was laid back, making it a perfect way to end a date night.

Reliable Comfort Bites and Desserts
I've been coming here since college, and it's long overdue for a small review. This place offers solid, no-frills late comfort bites and dessert. Nothing too fancy, but it's always a nice treat of dishes that really scratch an itch. The atmosphere and service were both rated a 5, and the food also received a 5. Reservations are not required, and the wait time is up to 10 minutes. The price per person is between $10–20, and we visited as a group of 2 people.

Tasty Hong Kong Desserts with a Dry Waffle
My experience at this restaurant was centered around their tasty Hong Kong style desserts. They offer many tasty options. We tried the salted egg yolk fries, mango desserts, and waffles. While the waffle was a bit dry, the overall experience was tasty and hit the spot.

Amazing Desserts, Worth the Visit!
My experience at this restaurant was crazy good, especially the desserts! I gave the food a 10/10. The portions were big enough to share, but so delicious that you'll want your own. I'm definitely coming back. We tried the Pan-fried red bean gelatinous balls with crushed peanuts and a Rainbow fruit Bubble waffle sundae. The atmosphere was a perfect 5/5, and the service was a solid 4/5. There was no wait time, and the price per person was reasonable at $10–20.

Disappointing Chinese Food Experience
My experience at the restaurant was just okay. The first place was alright, and the dessert was also just acceptable. However, the food did not taste like original Chinese food.

Delicious Red Bean Ice and Amazing Dessert
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I was looking for a "red bean ice" drink and a waiter at Harborview Restaurant recommended this place. They make a truly delicious "red bean ice" drink. The "sesame glutinous balls with crushed peanuts" were also out of this world. 👍👍

Uncooked and Unseasoned Steam Egg
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing, particularly with the food. I ordered a steam egg and had to wait 15 minutes. The first attempt resulted in an unseasoned dish, and the second time, the steam egg was served uncooked. The reviewer rated Food: 1, Service: 2, and Atmosphere: 3.

Fried tofu and sweets hit the spot
My experience at the restaurant was a bit of a blur as to how we ended up there, but the fried tofu was absolutely hitting the spot. The sweets were nice too. The service and atmosphere were rated a 5 out of 5, and the food also received a 5 out of 5.
