Emerging adjacent to Wing Yip supermarket, this Cantonese eatery offers a robust selection of traditional Chinese dishes that remarkably mirror the flavors one might find in a Hong Kong teahouse. Ranking highly among its offerings are the roast duck, renowned for its crispy skin and resonant flavors, alongside classics like laksa soup adorned with an array of toppings including pork, fish balls, and tofu. The menu is further complemented by substantial portion sizes, ideal for diners seeking value. While the culinary creations consistently deliver authenticity, the service is an area of mixed reception—swift yet occasionally curt. The establishment’s bustling atmosphere is reminiscent of a vibrant Hong Kong cafe, favored for its genuine cultural vibe despite closely-set tables creating an intimate dining experience. Despite bustling weekends and popular dishes running to capacity, lunch-goers would be wise to indulge in the alluring bakery adjacent to the main dining area, where delicacies like crispy top pork buns await.
