Cantonese comfort food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner...and everything in between.
Brusque service but also polite. Some flagging down required but only a reasonable amount.
Start with a Fresh Beef Congee (or any congee you like). Smooth porridge, literally no lumps, a viscous concoction clinging to savory slices of beef.
Wonton Noodle Soup is a clear broth highlighting wontons filled with super tender porky bits. Love the chewy, hard texture of the noodles as well.
Pan Fried Rice Noodle Rolls with XO Sauce are all about the texture. Sweet, soft, and chewy beneath a wok-seared crust, with some umami from the sauce.
HK Style Pineapple Bun with Butter is your classic pastry, and they are serious about the BUTTER. There's a slab so big you think it's a brick of cheese, and melts and soaks into every crevice. I've had better pineapple buns elsewhere, but this one is good enough.
Why can't they have this closer to LA? I'll take one of these casual cafes where I can pop in with my family any time of day instead of another fancy-schmancy overrated, overpriced, ritzy restaurant any day.
