★★★★★ 5.0 Rong Yan · Jan 2026

This place serves incredible, authentic Guangdong (Canton) style food. The Clay Pot Rice (煲仔饭) is a definite must-get. However, the Black Pepper Beef Noodles (黑椒意粉) stole the show, easily a 5/5 and one of the best versions I’ve had, even compared to noodles I've had in Asia. Be aware that the space is small with limited seating, but the wonderful service and the food makes it absolutely worth the visit

I went to this place for dinner two days in a row. Rice soup with seafood was delicious. Other dishes were also very satisfying. The only downside may be the small space and very limited capacity. It gets very busy during the dinner time. If you find no room when arriving, do not leave. Stay and wait for your table. It's not slow. It's worth the wait .

Very authentic canton clay pot rice & Cha Chaan Teng (Hong Kong Style Café). Pork Patty Clay Pot Rice / Extra Egg / No Scallions / Less Rice Crust : I had no words to express my feelings when I heard the sizzling of the boiling clay pot, poked the over easy egg and let the yolk flow over the rice. The pork patty was naturally smooth and just simply marinated, standing out the original fragrance and umami of the meat. After being seasoned with drops of soy sauce, this pot of rice had finally reached its peak, coz saltiness can raise up umami and aroma. The egg, which was cracked into the pot and just perfectly solidified, mixed well with it. Everything was so so so correct. Hongkongnese Iced Milk Tea: To be frank, the aroma of tea was a bit light and pale. Reduce the amount of ice will he

★★★★★ 5.0 Tony Wu · Nov 2025

Authenticity is the name of the game. Having brought two of my friends here for an afternoon lunch, they were stunned by how good the clay pot rice was! For them, it was a new dish. For me, it was nostalgia. The aromas from the pot were addicting, the crispy rice at the bottom and edges were great, and the rice itself was seasoned very well. Although they ordered small sizes, I’d recommend getting a medium if you’re a big eater (but they say it’s for two servings). Service is as expected: straightforward and quick, yet still slow enough to ask for dietary restrictions or specific changes to a given dish (e.g. I asked for no cilantro). If you know Cantonese, Mandarin, Taishanese, or one of a couple other dialects, it’ll help you for sure. Otherwise, don’t worry too much about it if you fee

★★★★★ 5.0 Lucas P · Dec 2025

I've been coming here when I'm in town for the last 5 years. Quality has been maintained, and now they have vegetarian claypot options too! I've had their minced pork patty claypot, their sausage+preserved meat claypot, their salted fish + chicken claypot and their vegetarian claypot. My preferred ones would be the minced pork patty claypot or the vegetarian claypot! You can also get add-ons, or if with a larger party, get a full plate of vegetables. Their doumiao (peashoots?) were fresh and tasty
