Please come here for the food not the service. The food here is bomb nothing can beat the quality and quantity at that price point. I had to get waiters attention to order my food, but once I did it came really fast. I commend the waiter who kept such a positive attitude given so many orders/takeout she had to attend to.

Don't know why all the negative reviews about the service. We went today for lunch. Service was awesome. Very busy yes but the staff did the best they could and very courteous. Absolutely no complaints. To us, the service was superb. We ordered baked 3 dishes. 2 baked, 1 steamed and 1 milk tea. They looked great and backed with authentic taste too. Definitely worth the trip (from south bay). Be a gracious customer.

This is the best Hong Kong style Cafe in the bay area, period. We've been coming here ever since they opened. They have wide variety of choices, such as steak, baked pork chop rice, lamb chop, ox tail, various fried rice, spaghetti, noodle soup, some pot rice, just to make a few. We've tried at least couple dozens different dishes here and we love every one of them. The waitresses are always friendly and courteous. Service could be slow at times when they are busy. So I won't recommend going there if you are in a rush. Especially some dishes could take over twenty minutes to be ready. This place is unbeatable for the quality of food and the price you pay. We'll be keep coming back. Definitely a 5-star eatery by any standard.

Authentic Hong Kong style cafe. Reasonable price compared to others in the East Bay. Don't expect stellar services but good enough for me and I do speak Cantonese. Parking is busy but you should be able to find a spot just a bit further down in the parking lot.

Stopped by for dinner and tried it out for the first time. The atmosphere was good overall. The staff seated us right away and the online order was really simple. The food was good overall. Very well portioned.

In my opinion, great food ,LARGE portions (be careful because your orders might not fit the table). Tasty Chinese fusion, traditional and non traditional Asian cusine. They got fried rice/noodles , Porridge, soups , baked dishes with your choice of rice ,pasta, or macaroni. Each table has a QR code, you pick what you want, then they tally up the orders at the end. Very quick orders too.

Absolutely delicious food and amazing desserts! I consider them the best in San Leandro now. Daisy has been very courteous and patient with all my specific requests. I come every week since I found them. The restaurant has plenty of parking and it is super sanitized. I love it. Great service and ambiance as well.
