We had lunch at House of Mantou and had a mixed experience. The food was okay—well-presented and decent in portion sizes, but the flavors were not particularly memorable.

At first, milk cheese mantou is delicious, but it can be sickeningly sweet for some because of too sweet level (that includes condensada).
Other than that, it is worthwhile to return for a dimsum.
Taiwan-style chicken is soft, crispy from outside and juicy...
