Remarkably affordable, tasty food and great service! Just the place on a warm summer evening with a super cheap beer special. (N.B. The Corona Cerveza are the Mexican variety!) We simply ordered three entrees and were well satisfied. Only just over $40 for food & drink for two..! Really? Definitely returning.

Had an amazing dinner last night! The food was delicious, and the company made it even better. We shared some great laughs and conversations. It's been a while since I've enjoyed an evening out like that. Definitely looking forward to our next gathering. Cheers to good times and even better friends!

Home made atmosphere restaurant. I didn’t know they have so much dishes since I could see only 1 page menu on the entrance so quite surprised when I came in and saw the full menus. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant and waitress are so nice and willing to give you a service. Food was average with reasonable price.

Hong Kong style cafe in the QV village courtyard with a large menu and nice nostalgic decor. The specials and combo menus are very good value. From what I've tried, the beef brisket, XO sauce pipis, and salt and pepper fried chicken ribs were top notch. The staff were friendly, helpful and quick when summoned but politely unobtrusive, which suits my preference. Will definitely be back to try other dishes.
