They have lots of other good stuff still. And the dining room has been updated.

Heard so many good things about this place, and since this restaurant has been around for over 10…read moreyears, we decided to give it a try on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant is small but quite clean inside. It looks like they recently renovated. The service wasn't as good as some of the other reviews suggested, but it was pretty much what you would expect from a typical Hong Kong café--very casual. We ordered the chicken with vegetables. There was a good variety of vegetables, and the portions were quite large. However, the plate was so small that it was difficult to get to the food underneath if it wasn't on top. I don't understand why they couldn't simply use a bigger plate, which seems like the easiest solution after a renovation. The prices weren't as good as we had anticipated. Maybe we just didn't order the right dishes. They also offer dish combos, but instead of letting you choose the dishes, they have set combinations to choose from, very limited choices.

To be honest, it is not perfect in many dimensions: It's not spacious and feels too greedy to have too many tables. It is not a good place if you really want to have an elegant environment to have your meals. The servers are a bit aggressive. But despite of all those disadvantages, I still give it 5 stars because it has the PERFECT food! I almost dropped some tears when I tasted my first bite of the dish I ordered, stored fried beef with tomatoes and eggs. I think what it does best is that it adapt its dishes to use the local produce and meat, and still keep the legit HongKong food flavors. My wife ordered the stir fried instant noodles and it was full of pepper, mushrooms and soy sauce flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant to have meal with friends or family (but not too many people since it's small and crowded. You can go to other coffee shop to chat

The menu here is reasonably priced for the HK cafe food that's available till 5pm. We were impressed by the huge portions & surprisingly good flavours. Baked Fish Fillet w/ Cheese & Cream Sauce was savoury & arrived hot loaded with crispy fillets. Fried rice underneath filled the large oven dish. Curry Beef Brisket Rice was stewed well to achieve really tender tendons. These are still two of our go-to dishes here. We did notice the environment gets loud from time-to-time, when it's fairly packed with patrons but some have split to the new rice roll spot nearby. Skip it or hit it? We will keep moving back and recommending here to our friends for the authentic and hearty HK cafe food.

The steamed fish was also delicious. I enjoyed the complementary dessert which included sweet red bean porridge, cookies, and jelly. For dim sum, definitely DO NOT purchase the rice noodle in supreme fish soup and mushroom. It tasted like water cooked with mushroom and had no taste or fish flavor and a waste of money. The mango sago wasn't that good either and only came with a tiny bit of ice cream. Dim sum was pretty crowded, so would recommend booking a table for large groups. I enjoyed the abalone and chicken congee as well as the mustard green, clam, and preserved egg congee. The abalone on the abalone su mai was a bit overcooked and chewy since it's been heated too long. I liked the chicken feet, beef tendons, and ribs. The egg tart was delicious when warm and super soft on the inside.

We ended up getting the ham macaroni soup with a cheese ham sandwich combo, along with the O Street signature beef sandwich and fries from their new menu. Despite how busy it was on a Saturday, the food came out at a pretty reasonable speed, which I appreciated. The macaroni soup was just okay, very much the kind of simple comfort food that fills you up, but nothing especially memorable. I was most excited for the signature beef sandwich, but it didn't fully meet my expectations. The burger/sandwich itself was smaller than I imagined, and it only had about 2-3 pieces of beef brisket inside with marinated bell peppers and their homemade sauce. The sauce leaned sweeter than expected, which might work for some people, but personally I was hoping for something more savoury and more generous with the beef. However, the brisket was tender, which was a win... ish. Overall, still a decent spot if you're craving classic HK cafe vibes and variety, especially for a casual meal with family.

When we raised the issue, a short young manager named Kenny didn't bother checking with the kitchen. He immediately insisted the portion was correct and rudely implied we just didn't want to pay for the lobster. Very disrespectful -- a stark contrast to the other servers, who were all polite. We've ordered this exact dish many times before and know what a proper portion looks like. Management should train staff to investigate complaints professionally instead of accusing loyal customers. Kenny's attitude treated the customers is totally not acceptable !!! 我们是这家店的老顾客了,但昨晚的用餐体验非常令人失望。我们像往常一样点了5.3磅的龙虾牛排套餐外加一份炒饭，供5人食用（中秋家庭聚餐）----以前吃完通常还有剩余可以打包，但这次龙虾的份量明显比以前少,根本不够吃。 当我们提出这个问题时,一位叫Kenny的矮个子年轻经理居然没有先去后厨了解情况,就一口咬定份量没有问题,还很不礼貌地暗示我们是不想付龙虾的钱。态度非常没有礼貌----和其他态度友善的服务员形成了鲜明对比。 我们点这道菜已经很多次了,很清楚正常的份量应该是多少。餐厅管理层应该培训员工遇到投诉时先去核实情况,而不是上来就指责老顾客。Kenny对待顾客的这种态度完全不能接受!!!

The rice wasn't bad , I'm not a huge fan of claypot rice in general, however this one had good flavours and the crispy rice was just right, without tasting burnt.

Pork chop udon soup - Fried pork chop, with a fried egg and udon an amazing combo. Pork chop was made well, still a little crispy on the outside, well seasoned and just about cooked perfectly. Fried egg the same, a bit runny on the inside. A small amount of udon compared to the rice noodle soup below. Soup tasted a bit off, kinda like burnt onions... Braised beef wonton rice noodle soup - Beef was a more on the chewy side. Wontons were great and there was lots of rice noodles. Soup was tasty. French toast - The afternoon tea version has 2 slices of bread vs the regular 3 slices. This was a tall stack, not too eggy and not too crispy. A load of butter on top. Nice to try. Would come back to try other items on their menu.
