When you're in the mood for some quick Cantonese food, this place will fit the bill! Food here is comparable to Sam Woo in LA, but possibly better since the SW ownership change. Great place for authentic Hong Kong noodle soup and won tons. Also delicious bbq meats like duck, pork, or chicken made fresh daily! Underground parking is $1 per 20 minutes. You can explore the rest of Chinatown after having lunch!

Steamed rice rolls have a great thickness/texture, not too thin, nice very slight chew. The sweetened sauce is not too sweet. The southern/Hong Kong style wontons are delicious and made traditionally; shrimp on the bottom with pork on top, wrapped in a yellow wonton skin. Good size, not small. The bbq meats are all top notch. You can't go wrong with any of them. The roast duck is juicy and not too scrawny/boney. Service was direct and attentive, very efficient, they meet all your needs. I prefer when restaurant workers don't pretend to be your friend and kiss your a**. I prefer efficiency.

Ordered wonton with duck, black mushroom rice noodle and shrimp rice noodle. Good Chinese not fancy comfort food. 12.95 wonton soup with duck. The wonton are perfect with pork and crunchy shrimp. There are 10 wontons in the bowl with two stalks of green choy sum veggie in a delicious broth. The dish came with 6 sliced pieces of house roasted duck that was good. 5 stars for this dish. YUMMY! 6.95 shrimp rice noodle rice noodle was prepared perfectly slippery smooth rice noodle with one shrimp in each section, dressed with soy sauce and sesame seed oil. Two rice noodle rolls cut in 3 each. 5 stars for the rice noodle but 3 stars for the filling because the shrimp was overcooked and chewy. The shrimp wasn't as good as in the wonton. 5.95 black mushroom and chives rice noodle: rice noodle itself was again perfect. I was expecting shitake mushrooms when I read black mushroom but the chef used HALF of a canned straw mushroom in each rice noodle section. I was disappointed in this dish as something is missing in the seasoning. The rice noodle is good. Fillings were not up to my expectations. Service is pretty quick after you order. Tables are too close together for my comfort and not 6' apart. Waitress tends to space people apart when it is less crowded. Waitress never came by to refill the complimentary tea, so you only get one cup of tea if you don't ask for it. Atmosphere is lacking but the food is really good and reasonably priced. A bathroom exists in the Plaza that one have asks the Waitress for a key. So you need to go outside of the restaurant to do that. I would rather do take out here and eat in the comfort of my own home.
