Parking here is a lot to navigate! There are 2 short term (20 min) parking for quick food pickup! Be prepared to circle around for a parking spot. I am giving this place 5 stars bc the variety of choices in menu items, the quality of food, and quantity of food. Great portions if you want to take leftovers home. Decent Chinese food in this main drag of Valley blvd. Another plus is their inexpensive drinks! $3.88 for a large drink with boba! I even see someone from another table getting free refills but they may have ordered lemon teas of some sort Love that you can order from the lunch menu up to 6pm for those of you who are now back to working in the office.

This place is my go to for HK cafe style food! So far I've found no other places that provide the value for the amount of food you get, especially during lunch special hours. Service (3/5): Some wait staff are more attentive than others but it's usually crowded so they get swamped with waiting all the tables. The times food can come out can vary. When crowded, food takes a while to come out. In general, the service is standard for a fast casual HK style cafe. Ambiance (4/5): Mostly a local spots with the occasional tourist. The vibe here is bustling and the restaurant is pretty small so there's usually a wait outside. Food (5/5): For the quantity of food you get and the quality remaining consistent, the value is hard to beat. - Kung Pao Chicken ($10.50): My go-to dish here. The chicken is cooked well with good amounts of onions, green/red peppers, and peanuts. The sauce is savory and the portions are always big. - Sautéed Lamb with Mushrooms and Black Pepper ($12.50): The sauce is really good and the lamb is really tender. Couldn't taste any gaminess that could happen with lamb which was nice. Note there's usually a lot of oil used on this dish. - Salt and Pepper Fish Fillet ($11.50): My favorite thing to get here. The fish is always fried to perfection and is crispy on the outside while soft and juicy on the inside. The salt and pepper seasoning used is not overpowering and provides grea - Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings ($11.50): They also fry this well but I much prefer the softness of the fish. Can't go wrong with fried chicken wings. - Black Sesame Milk Tea ($2.50): Lots of sesame flavor and not too sweet, which goes well with the food! Price (5/5): Fair pricing for good authentic food and portions. Overall, I find myself coming back every week or so! There's a reason why it's a popular option in a saturated HK style food area.

A great variety of food to choose from. Tried like 10 of them so far, and all of them were delicious. Fried chicken very tasty. Special drink for $2.5 is a plus. Overall, Unbeatable lunch price, decent service and environment. Could be crowded during lunch hour.

Food 100% amazing. Price 100% affordable (~$14 ish depending on your dish, but worth for the portion). An entree follows with rice. One entree "unlocks" one drink for min. of $2.50 depending on size and type of drink. I always just order the Iced Lemon Tea. Always amazing! Love it! Service I'd say 95%. It just takes some "hands up" to get their attention for ordering rather than them coming over. Even with "hands up", they come fast so I will not dock off a star this time around. This place has always been my regular. Will keep coming back as long as food and price is reasonable based on portion!

This place is so good. Authentic, delicious, reasonably priced, and big portions. Highly recommend SQ7 - squid with stir-fried garlic green beans (干炒四季豆) ($17.99). We also enjoyed C44 - sauteed sliced lily root with preserved meat ($13.99). The portions were both huge - those 2 alone could've comfortably fed 3-4 people. It was quite busy on a Saturday night, with people waiting outside even around 8pm. Service was a bit slow, understandably, but still good. The drinks also seemed to be really popular here. They're only $2.50 and have a lot of varieties + extra topping choices. Overall, a solid spot whether you need a light or full meal.

We went for lunch at this restaurant recommended by a friend. Although it was after 1pm, the parking at Lucky Plaza is packed. We had to be patient and wait for a space to open up. In the restaurant, there were several tables available and we got seated quickly. They offered a Lunch special menu where most of the regular menu dishes are about $2 discounted. Each lunch dish ordered allows you to order a drink at $2.50. 4 of us shared 4 dishes: HK Style Beef Chow Fun, Lettuce wraps with minced meat (pork), House Special Fried Chicken, and a Japanese Omelette Fried Rice. All of the dishes were really tasty and the servings were big portions. The staff was nice and we even got refills on drinks (lemon iced tea, and iced coffees). We will probably go back but at an off hour so we don't have to fight for parking!

SPECIALS ALERT - 7days a week until 6pm. We frequented for late night HH prices but that was before the pandemic. Now their HH is back for lunch and for much longer. A fan of their half fried chicken, salt and pepper pork chop, dry turnip with eggs, and the endless coffee milk or HK iced tea. Will choose them again soon.

Purchased 11 orders for Chinese New Year. It was very crowded. I ordered ahead of time and when I arrived my order was ready. The service was excellent.. super courteous and friendly. Gave them a great tip and were very appreciative. They thanked me twice and wished me a happy new year. 5/5 All their dishes are consistently good and/or very good. My favorite is the lettuce wrap. 5/5 My goto place for great cantonese food.
