Dinner Date
" This place is so cute! I loved how the space is used, as it has quite a lot of seating. This was a spontaneous dinner date for my hubby & we found it very pleasant. The service was great, food came out hot & was well prepared. The atmosphere is cozy diner meets shabby chic, and the colors are MCM vibe. We ordered the almond chicken, the beef and broccoli and a side of each the rice, & fried rice. The almond chicken was nice white meat, crisp battered and mild but tasty dipping sauce. Both rices were cooked nicely and tasted great. Our favorite though, was the Beef and broccoli. The veg in it was perfectly steamed and still crisp, the beef was thin shaved and melts in your mouth and the sauce on the beef and broccoli was like comfort food. Really extensive menu choices as well. "

Local Guide
" Classic Chinese Western Style Cafe. If you know you know. Dont come for the decorations, just the very cheap good eats. These cafes are a dying breed and I'm glad this one is STILL here. Hard to find places like these from back in the day. Daily Special for $15? 3 items? Just WOW!. Food was fast, hot, and delicious! "
