“ Best Hong Kong BBQ in the area by far. I tried more than a few in the area. The only thing not worth it is the Peking duck ”
“ Duck is good. Very tasty and yummy. ”
“ Rushing in late on a Sunday, there were a few people ahead of me in line for food. This place just opened and seemed very promising from the getgo. Its a very unassuming place but one of those great holeinthewall restaurants that add to the community of the Bay Area. You could see duck, chicken, and crispy pork hanging in the front window so I know this place had to be good. For my first visit, I ordered half a roasted duck and a pound of the BBQ pork. Both were very flavorful and tasty. I waited about 1015 mins from lining up to order to receiving the food. The experience overall reminded me of my time in Singapore and eating lunch at a hawker centre. The char siu was sweet but not as sweet as Im used to, however I still really enjoyed it. It wasnt very fatty but had a robust flavor. The roasted duck was delicious, crispy skin with well seasoned meat. The price was very generous for the Bay Area and Im glad to get my quick fix for hawker centre style food. The person working the register was very friendly and inviting. She even made fun of me for taking a menu photo trying to set it up on the wall for a background, cmon instead of just taking one taped to the plexiglass barrier at the register. Ill definitely be coming back and trying the chicken and crispy pork! ”
“ My family came for the 1st time for lunch. 3 of us had the double pork chops Saturday lunch special with spaghetti, a fried katsu style pork chop over a baked pork chop. The special came with soup, dinner roll and jello dessert. My son loved his 3 item BBQ plate over rice with roast duck, cha siu and roast pork belly. We also shared their famous grilled pork chop sandwich made with a crispy roll. Everything we ordered was delicious and a great value. We will definitely return for more. ”
“ Good fast food adjacent to Tenderloin. Only Takeout. Near Hastings Law and Dope corners. Takeout only. Everyone needs to eat and they have stayed open. Thanks to them. ”
“ The sizzling chicken steak with black pepper sauce and spaghetti was fantastic. Great HK cafe food. ”
“ We love cheese steak. Since we are from Jersey just across from Philadelphia. So its the closest to the east coast food we can find. Love there Italian hoagie as well. ”
“ Located near Starbucks and Marshalls, its a convenient location to pick up Cantonese style deli meat without going to Millbrae or the Sunset neighborhood. The roast pork has a nice crispy skin, well seasoned. The duck wasnt fatty and juicy. The butcher has great skill in cutting the meat into even pieces, placing them in the box is a neat presentation. You can tell he takes great pride in his craft. However, that also translates into waiting a little bit for your order. What usually takes 5 min at your average deli on Clement or Irving, will take about 15 or longer if there is a short line. But its worth the wait. ”
