"Serving authentic Hong Kong style milk tea, baked to order egg tarts and beef stir fry with flat rice noodles."

"Had such a satisfying seafood meal here! Everything tasted incredibly fresh — you can really tell the quality from the first bite. The steamed fish was tender and naturally sweet, perfectly complemented by light soy sauce and ginger. The garlic mantis shrimp was the highlight — super fragrant, crispy on the outside and juicy inside, with golden garlic bits that made it completely addictive. The clams were plump and flavorful, and even the egg tart dessert was a lovely sweet ending to the meal. What I loved most is how the restaurant focuses on freshness and simple cooking that lets the seafood shine instead of overpowering it. Portions were generous and great for sharing. Highly recommended if you want fresh seafood done right."

"I am surprised that people come here without checking the price…. Obviously it’s going to cost a bit but this is one of the top chinese dining institutions with a HK couple and chef team helming the entire plethora of seafood and wondrous Chinese cuisine. The clams were decent but i prefer it if it was not fried garlic based The deep sea fish - the star snapper was so yummy, the beef tendon claypot was perfect, the tiger prawn yeefu braised noodle was delicious, the tenderly cooked veggie soup was great and yao mak veggie dish was just right.. Rating at 8.8/10 Return to Eat : Of course!!"

"Fresh food but definitely on the higher side of price. Not sure it justifies as you can get many similar quality food in KK for half to 3/4 of the price but can’t speak for the fresh seafood they have here versus others."

"Coke to dine here as they are the only restaurant that open during raya holiday. Ordered few dishes to share with family. Below are some that I have liked. We didn’t ordered much seafood as we already have it during lunch. Fried squid are good. Thin batter and squid are cooked nicely as it is not rubbery. Claypot chicken are ok. Taste light and nothing special. Scallion biscuit are ok. Again, taste light and the pastry are not puffy or flakey. Overall food are ok. Didn’t taste their seafood much so for those fish we are order are pretty average. Only thing I don’t like is the attitude of the waiter when we didn’t ordered seafood her face are very sour. Will I repeat? Not for me"

"Food portion was large, and everything was delicious! They also prepare extra empty plates to change in between servings if your plate gets too dirty. The HK Style Milk Tea is also very nice, served in a glass sitting in bowl of ice, so your drink does not get diluted. Good service. The lady boss is from Hong Kong, so you can come here to flex your Cantonese."
