The restaurant is beautiful inside and out. Having been to HK several times, I honestly felt the urge to jump on a plane again.The menu is small and simple delivering incredible quality. We had two dishes - Lo Mein and something else (refer to photo). Both were delicious.

We were greeted by Jordan when we arrived. She was absolutely lovely. The restaurant is very well decorated, and you feel like you have stepped back in time. We loved the televisions at the bar as well as the milk crate seats and the concrete wall effect.

Hangry is not a joke

Stepping into this restaurant feels like being transported back to 1990s Hong Kong. The char siu (HK-style Chinese BBQ pork) and siu yuk (whole roasted suckling pig) were both outstanding — perfectly seasoned and executed.

Great little place with thoughtful Hong Kong decorations. Reminds me of home. The food is a nice new fusion style. Taste good and BIG portion. We came to check this place out before an evening event at the Saddledome and it was perfect.
