The food is good and we love the portion. Healthy variant of Hong Kong ChaChanTeng food.

Cosy theme and inviting cafe. Quiet. Food ok. Macaroni soup tastes better many out there.

Chanced upon this place and tried their Christmas set menu. It was surprisingly authentic and delicious. Plates and bowls were deceptively small but portions are above average as compared to other eateries. Will come back again😋 …

Nice cosy space in i12. Great food. Love the 安然消魂饭. Brings back memories of the Steven chow movie. Taste great too. Beef brisket noodles was excellent
