    If you blink you'll miss this little food cafe located on the north side of the the LIE service close to Utopia Parkway. My GF noticed it one rainy day because on bad traffic on the main Level LIE road. We order three dishes, pork chops on rice, beef lo mein, and pineapple fried rice. All three dishes were great! We totally enjoyed ourselves. Some minor notes- Food took a long time due to only one cook in the kitchen. I counted SEVEN blackboard menus; it took a long time to read! A little overwhelming. It was very noisy when we were there and tables were limited due to a large group of high school kids packed in during lunch time. Parking can be a challenge; read the signs! Decor is nice. I will be back!

    My boyfriend and I were craving something sweet late at night so we found this place on seamless. The delivery person brought our desserts whilst it was snowing pretty hardcore! We were so appreciative. The desserts were yummy! We ordered the mango cheesecake and Oreo stuffed cake. Fun note is that there's an ice cream filling in the Oreo cake. We are definitely ordering from here again and trying their other desserts.

    **3.5 stars** Star Cafe is tiny! It took a long time to figure out the menu because it's posted on the walls all over the place. I am not sure if the paper menu has everything. It is hard to tell. We ordered lo mein, fried rice and a pork chop dish. The lo mein was the best dish of the three. The pineapple fried rice was enjoyable. The kitchen is clean. The people behind the counter were nice to me. The price was a bit high for the portion size. The boxes that the food came in were barely full. For the price I paid, I did expect at least a slightly fuller box of food. The food was satisfactory. The quality and taste is good. How much you like the food depends on what you order. I would stay away from certain things like the ramen or Thai dishes. This is a Cantonese cafe place so that is what I would stick to. The atmosphere would have been fine except for the teenagers. They were really loud and their backpacks and books were spread out all over the place taking up tables where people could have sat. There are not many table so I was surprised when these students were able to take up tables to just place their bags and books. I saw the students move between three tables. One table to just sit at, another table to eat at and another table for their belongings. It's ridiculous. The kids were also super duper loud. I am sure the teenagers are their main clientele. It's next to a school. Would I go back? Not on purpose but if I was in the neighborhood and looking for a snack or lunch spot, I would come back if I was passing by.

    New kids on the block! After several failed businesses at this location Star Cafe deserves to shine. Looks to be family owned and ran with much love and respect to the food they put out. I have been here the past 3 days since they opened and have not had a bad meal yet. They have daily specials for an entree and a arizona drink for 7.50, which is pretty decent of a price for the amount of food given. The chef always asks how i would like my meal and will cook the meal to your preference. With a menu of snacks & sandwiches to rice & noodle dishes that is not too over the top but will keep you coming back to try the next thing on the menu. Nothing seems to be cooked in advance so be prepared to wait at least 10 minutes for your food. Everything has been fresh and exceeded my expectations of what i'm use to eating from a HK style cafe. Review of foods i've tried: Crispy Popcorn Chicken - taiwanese style crispy little nuggets of fried deliciousness Bun With Pork Chop - Fusion style porkchop with onions and american cheese on italian hero (add peppers for a spicy kick!) Pork Chop w/ Salt & Pepper over Rice - matches any restaurant i've enjoyed this dish at but with less fat than other places Chicken Chop w/ Black Pepper Sauce over Spaghetti - Chicken was fresh and juicy and pepper sauce had a nice kick Lemon Tea - standard lemon tea w/ no sugar Bubble Milk Tea - compares to cafes not as much sugar which is my preference Potato Croquette - chef gave this to me for free to try her newest creation. it was yummy. Overall i would recommend this place to anybody passing by in the area. There's not much parking on the side street but call ahead so you can put in a order be in and out. I have suggested to them that they start delivering to build a wider client base. This little shop has earned my business and with competition like tea shop 2 blocks away i find their ingredients to be fresher and quality of food to be a leagues ahead of them. Bring your empty stomachs here and the chef do her best to accommodate.

    Their Angus burger was surprisingly delicious and actually looked like the pictures (THICK!) It was cooked the way I wanted and was juicy. The fries also had a good crunch to it. The citrus honey lemon tea was refreshing and not too sweet. I'll probably be stopping by here more often.

    A very special, high quality and tasty cantonese style food. Service is good and friendly. Highly recommend the chicken filet fried rice.

    The remainder of my Hong Kong style fish balls.  Very good flavour, right amount of heat.

    Cosy little place serving Hong Kong style snacks. Food came hot & fast. The restaurant is very clean and orderly, deserved of the "A" rating. I would revisit this place without hesitation.

    Good service. Food is fast. I ordered and went back outside to wait in the car and they bought it outside when food was ready.

    Really good and authentic Sichuan food! I tried most of the classic dishes and I loved all of them…read more My only complaint is that everything was a bit too salty but I think that's inevitable since Sichuan food just has so many spices and is packed with flavor. The place looks small initially but is actually really long and there's a basement too with extra seating. I would definitely come back here when craving Sichuan food. Sautéed beef w. two kinds of pepper 7/10 - Too spicy for my liking (though it does have a spice level of 2 chilis on the menu) Double cooked pork belly w. chili leeks 9/10 Sesame cold noodle w. sliced pork belly in garlic sauce 9/10 - This was one of my favorite new dishes! Sautéed baby shrimp w. egg 8/10 Steamed whole fish w. fresh green pepper (tilapia) 9/10

    Review for takeout order only. I ordered for pickup on UberEats, and my order was ready on the…read moreshorter end of the timeframe. The place was empty at 4 PM on a Sunday. I wanted some duck blood and saw that Alley 41 had a few variations. I opted for the Duck Blood with Pickled Chiles. I also got some rice on the side, and a Chinese Herbal Tea (Wong Lo Kat) to go with it. The chilies really bring the heat! There is a good amount of duck blood, though I prefer thicker cuts. It is a very oily dish. I ended up scooping the dish onto the rice to get rid of a lot of the oil. There wasn't much of a pickle flavor to cut the heat and oil. Overall, not my favorite duck blood dish. I will have to try the one with pork intestine or braised frog for more flavor. I will also have to try other dishes and dining in.

    Firefly is easily one of my favorite spots right now -- the vibe, the drinks, and especially the…read moreservice make it stand out every single time. The real star of the night was Joyce behind the bar. She's the kind of bartender who instantly makes you feel welcome, like you've been a regular for years even if it's your first visit. She knows her drinks, makes amazing recommendations, and somehow keeps the energy fun and relaxed even when the bar gets busy. You can tell she genuinely cares about people having a good experience, and that kind of service is rare. Her gin and tonic was perfectly balanced -- crisp, refreshing, and honestly one of the best I've had. And the green tea shots? Dangerous in the best way possible. Smooth, flavorful, and way too easy to keep ordering because they go down so well. Joyce makes them with consistency and a little extra flair that makes the whole experience feel special. Food-wise, I highly recommend the pork dumplings -- flavorful, perfectly cooked, and the ideal pairing with drinks. Everything just worked together: great food, great drinks, and even better hospitality. Joyce truly elevates the entire atmosphere at Firefly, turning a normal night out into something memorable. If you're going, sit at the bar, trust her recommendations, and thank me later. 10/10 experience -- I'll absolutely be back.

    We booked the private room for my friend's birthday and it was very chill. The establishment is…read moresmall but if you're looking for a good place to drink, then you can make a stop here. My only thing is the food option is limited and it's more pub finger food. Definitely would eat dinner somewhere then make a stop here for a drink.
