Overall Food Quality – 1.5/10
Curry Fish Balls: 1/10
The curry misses that familiar HK street-food vibe entirely—it’s watery, bland, slightly sour, and doesn't cling to the fish balls at all. Feels like they just boiled the fish balls and slapped on a bit of watered-down curry sauce. As an absolute iconic HK street snack we all grew up with, it's clear zero effort went into this.
Stir-fried Beef Ho Fun (Gong Chau Ngau Ho): 1.5/10
Completely lacks wok hei because it was cooked on way too low heat—there was barely a whisper of smoke coming off the wok while it was cooking. Gas isn't that expensive, so skimping on the flame really ruins the dish. Spotting the bottles on their counter, they aren't using proper HK sauces either, but cheap mainland brands (like Pearl River Bridge). The result? It misses that authentic HK savoury balance and leaves a heavy, slightly bitter aftertaste.
French Toast & Milk Tea: 1.5/10
The French toast is tiny, paper-thin, and not crisp in the slightest. As for the milk tea, it's nowhere near proper HK cha chaan teng Ceylon black tea—tastes like it was just whipped up using cheap UK supermarket tea bags.
