What We Tried
We visited them for lunch and here is what we tried. To start, there was the Baked Pork Chop on Rice $17.98 which was nicely tangy and not too sweet. Delicious, tender fried pork chop as well as goey cheese with fried rice.
A more unique dish we tried was the pan fried vermicelli with beef and bitter melon $20.98. The beef, veggies and noodles were embedded within crisp, pan fried vermicelli pieces.
We also got the lunch special noodle combination of soup base + 2 topping + noodle + drink for $16.98. We went with vermicelli, fish tofu and beef brisket and it was pretty good.
For drinks, we had the HK style milk tea and coffee which came with the entrees.
We also got the deep fried squid tentacles with pepper salt. It was crispy but I personally prefer more of a panko bread batter.
Our bill was $67 plus tip and includes the 10% soft opening discount and some to go boxes.
The servers were pretty nice and above average. I would visit them in the future and try some of their other dishes.
