    Parking is pretty easy to find. There are outdoor patio dining options. Most patrons that dine outside are smoking or have pets(small dog). Sometimes, cigarette smoke does come into the indoor dining area as people open and closed the front door. The deco inside is modern and bright. This restaurant is actually quite large inside, which is great for large groups but looking from outside it is very unassuming. The service is slow, the food is delicious and portions are decent. This restaurant is understaffed so when it gets busy you gotta be patient. Many senior patrons like their breakfast set, so you will see lots of AARP crowds in the morning. This place serves Chui Chow porridge in their Chinese breakfast set. Their pineapple bun is huge and has a citrus note.

    The breakfast is very consistent, usually good. The service is as usual average due to how busy the restaurant is. The breakfast menu has both Western and Chinese styles, enough options to choose from. In fact, more choices than most of the cafes around this restaurant.

    -Outside area was for smoking which took me by surprise because its pretty rare in the states. - Inside dining was dimly lit, not the best vibe for dining. - Owners need to hire more people, extremely understaffed, only 3 workers for 15+ tables when we arrived. It took almost 10 minutes for us to order. It was difficult to ask for utensils and condiments since the servers ignored us. The table next to us had the same problem as well, taking a long time to get an order down. - Everything had a layer of oil/grease, the lemon tea I ordered had a layer of white-ish film over it. The bowls, plates, and reusable utensils felt sticky, the condiments container was very sticky and felt like it was left out for a long time. - Ordered the gingko porridge and beef rice noodle rolls combo along with a beef wonton soup. The porridge was ok, but again there was a layer of oil on the surface. Beef wonton soup was very salty and the wontons had a weird sand texture to it. We ended up getting the noodle rolls in a to-go container. Lady behind us noticed and said we were lucky since her order of toast and ham were half burnt. - Ended on a bad note when we had to go up to the front desk to get the check because they ignored us the first two times. - Had a good time talking to the other tables next to us though

    The attitude of the waiter is very bad. I many times and couldn't get a response. l couldn't order! This is really bad. Meals are ok. This is my last visit here, I wish the waiter's attitude was better!

    Went there to pick up my order and it was not the best experience. Lady was rude and waited a long time. People smoking outside the patio and the smoke was blowing into the restaurant. Food was also lousy. Greasy and no taste. Price was pretty expensive compared to other better places. Best to stay away.

    Best meal money could buy! Feels like a Chinese Denny’s - meat is tender and sides are well proportioned. Plenty of choices in their menu, we preferred the grilled items with a either of rice or spaghetti. Our food came in quick.

    A great restaurant, $10-$15 per person, free refills for milk tea and ice black tea.

    The food was reasonably good. I would give it 7.7/10. Average restaurant food is 7/10. We had eaten hear before a few years back and I think the food has improved a bit.

    Pros: Hong Kong style breakfast. Huge portions. Strong coffee served in a glass beer mug. Open spacious dining in an aging 60s vibe..huge palmsized pieces of beef on the beef rice noodle dish....lots of fresh bean sprouts on both the flat rice noodle and the chicken chow mein....the American-style breakfasts and omelettes looked great...plenty of free parking. Free coffee and tea. Accommodates big parties easily. Cons: Smoking on the entrance patio...really unappetizing smoke wafting into the restaurant especially on the right side seating inside..sit on left side to avoid the second-hand smoke...ugh the smoke..Skimpy on the chicken on the chicken chow mein. The flat noodles on the beef rice noodle were mostly shards and little bits of noodle. Good flavor but we got the scrappings of noodle. Too bad.

    OMG, the Sunday Cafe as I know it has gone back for decades. Now I think it just hit a new low. Asian place do not expect service, but when there's lagging or no service at all, that's an issue. We have to go get the waiter to come. Food took a very long time to come out, the beverages came even longer. The food flavor is day by day. No consistency. Salty one day, next day can be blend or too oily. Even paying the bills will take a long time for the server to come by.

    I like to go to Hong Kong-style restaurants. There are many styles, suitable for both adults and children. I like to take my children there. Rice rolls, porridge, fried beef river, and western steak are all good. I like it very much. I must eat it every time I go The taste is right, the environment is okay.

    One of my all-time favorite joints of its type. Its sprawling ambiance entices patrons to find their own space for in-person meetings, computer work, and phone calls, with ample personal space and elbow room. The staff is on top of orders and maintains a crisp pace. The price range is not the lowest, with its generous portion though, still reasonable. Especially if one desires some physical and mental space, or whatever suits one's moments!

    Nice Asian style Cafe, it's not open as late as other cafes but it's tasty. Would need to try more foods before making a really accurate assessment. If it was open later it'll be doable.

    Love the congee & the Singapore noodles! Very crowded, hard to find a seat duriy the Pandemic!

  • 5/5 Vince Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Outdoor seating in a covered patio area in front of the restaurant. Standard Cantonese cuisine, definitely recommend the clay pot rice.

    We just discovered this HK style restaurant today. It has been here for a long time but we just haven’t been here. I guess we missed out a lot of good Cantonese food. We came for breakfast. Their breakfast menu is fantastic. It contains all my favorites including varieties of congee, pineapple buns, soy sauce fried noodle, fried rice noodles with beef, and all the HK style western breakfasts. The way for me to tell whether the restaurant is an authentic Hk style restaurant is to taste their soy sauce fried noodle and fried rice noodle with beef. If they do that well, then I feel the restaurant serves authentic Hong Kong style food. The soy sauce fried noodle we ordered this morning was amazing. The noodles were moist yet crispy with a lot of flavors. This dish tasted very similar to the ones I had in Hong Kong. The congee with a thousand year old egg was good too but a bit thick for me. Some people like it that way. The BBQ pork steam noodle was one of the best I had for a long time. Unlike other restaurant, the noodle here is very fine and soft with generous portions of BBQ pork. The western breakfast was very good too. My wife had their pan fried chicken steak with egg. The chicken was cooked perfectly resulting in a chicken steak with crispy skin and very tender and juicy meat. I was also surprised to find on the menu that they offer clay pot rice and Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich for breakfast. Will come back to try these items next time. This place tends to get packed in the morning for patio dining but the wait is not too long as the foods come out fairly quickly.
