This place is honestly the OG of Hong Kong style cafes. This old school style cafe is best known for their baked chicken or pork chop spaghettis. You really can't go wrong with anything in this joint. I have been here for the past 15 years and the quality remains. This is a family owned restaurant and the executive chef is the owner. They have a selection of classic chinese dishes with a european/american twist, sich as their spaghetti dishes and sizzling platters, those are a must.

Few years ago it was still $5-6 a plate and still playing the same music they played in the late 90s!!! Talk about...

One of the few remaining HK Style Cafe in Oakland and a decent one. Their baked dishes can take a while (the waitress said 20 to 30 minutes) and that's because they really put it in the oven and not in the microwave. We opted for their iron platters and it's one of the best values out there. Tthey come with a drink (coffee or tea), warm dinner roll, vegetable soup and either rice or spaghetti with their main entree.
Note that this place is cash only and the staff here are mostly Cantonese speakers. They're open until about 9:00PM . Place is pretty spacious and clean for...
