"This restaurant has been around for over a decade, and it’s great to see it still standing strong. The flavors are very authentic Hong Kong-style, just as I remember. The dishes are rich and flavorful, though a bit on the salty side. The milk tea and lemon tea are classic choices, perfectly complementing the hearty meals. If you’re looking for a nostalgic Hong Kong tea restaurant experience, this place is definitely worth a visit!"

"Perfect place for fried rice/noodles/noodle soup. Basic restaurant but we loved the food. Beef noodle soup was exactly what I felt like - really hit the spot. Lots of choice and a variety of cold drinks in the fridge. Definitely worth dropping in to if you're after some yummy Chinese."
