The food here is delicious and pretty authentic (I'm from Hong Kong). I enjoyed everything I ordered, but especially liked the choy sum, mango pomelo dessert and sticky rice with chicken. The portions are good, the staff spoke fluent Cantonese and the restaurant environment was simple and cozy. - Xiyi Wu
