Food: Flavorful dishes make a mark
Roast duck dishes here are succulent, with crispy skin that sings melodies of flavor. BBQ deli duck shines equally with its juicy meat, while the wonton noodle soup brings authentic HK style to the table. Fresh ingredients elevate every bite despite the mediocre flavor spectrum.
Great Variety
Every dish is solid, extensive menu, something for everyone.
Okay Portions
Portions are decent, adequate, not too small but not large.
Low Quality
Food not fresh, resulting in disappointing flavors and stale texture.

Vibe: Crammed space overshadowed by noise
The ambiance tends to feel like a crowded subway station at rush hour, where intimate conversations are drowned out by overwhelming noise levels. A place that brings energy, but not necessarily peace, making it tough on dates or discerning diners seeking comfort.
Great Drinks
Good variety of drinks, including some good IPAs and delicious options.
Okay Comfort
No Buzz
Overrated with long lines; crowded and noisy, not living up to hype.
Perks: Fast and friendly service wins hearts
Service is consistently quick and kind, leaving patrons feeling well-looked after. While parking is manageable, the noise and space limitations make dining in large groups challenging. Still, the swift, friendly staff creates a warm atmosphere that's hard to forget.
