Beef brisket & tendon and 双皮奶 (milk curd) were fantastic. Noodles were slightly too salty. Friendly service. Small portion sizes but don’t really mind it for the price.
This place is popular, and understandably so. Menu is limited so they can focus on what they do well. Wontons are great, and the choice of noodle is a plus although we all went for the classic thin egg noodle. Liked seeing stuffed bittermelon on the menu (and eating it too).
This is a relative new restaurant selling quick Chinese Cantonese food. I went because my neighbor wanted to try it. It’s very similar to the other quick bite place across from the 7-11 (but now changed to hainan chicken restaurant). I guess the main selling point is the Cantonese wonton dumplings for this restaurant. There really are not many choices but if you come here you kinda know what to expect.
The place is surprisingly popular among locals so you often would need to wait a bit. The food is alright but I can’t say I’m impressed enough to want to come back. It’s just like a McDonald’s in that you know what to expect and not much to talk about.
I’m not a fan of Cantonese noodles in general as they are not chewy enough and often has that alkali smell and taste.
The wonton/dumplings are alright and they are plump enough. I think they are slightly expensive for what you get. The vegetarian goose (mushroom wrapped with tofu skin) is good as it’s a common Cantonese dimsum stable.
Service is good enough and place is new so fairly comfortable. A solid 3 star I guess.
Food is good here. My order was a wonton noodles $13.25 and a curry brisket rice $15. The wontons aren’t as good as the ones in actual Hong Kong. But it is good for Millbrae standards. These were inconsistent. While good, they can make them great by adjusting the seasoning to include more powdered sesame so that it enhances the natural shrimp taste. Noodles were OK. It would be better if they were more springy. For the curry brisket rice, this dish felt small. The ratio of curry to rice is wrong. Otherwise, the taste seemed OK. I would have preferred no ginger as it wipes out the flavor. Service was great. The kitchen was fast.
New Cantonese café in the neighborhood! I ordered the curry brisket with tendon. The brisket was tender and flavorful, but my bowl only had one piece of tendon and very little potato. Potatoes are a must for curry brisket, and I prefer them lightly fried before cooking so they absorb the curry without getting mushy.
The double skin milk custard was delicious though—tasted just like the famous Nam Shun double skin milk from Guangzhou.
