" A nice little spot for a quick meal. The staff was attentive, and I enjoyed the curry pork chop rice. While I found the curry a bit mild, the portion size was generous and the overall meal was comforting. I also appreciated the relaxed atmosphere, making it a great place for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" This cafe is a gem! The flavors remind me of my family's cooking back in Hong Kong. I tried the baked pork chop over rice and it was outstanding. The service was prompt, even during the lunch rush. Definitely worth a visit for anyone craving authentic HK-style food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Orchid has a classic feel of a Hong Kong diner. I’m particularly fond of their baked rice dishes. The staff was attentive, although the place can get pretty busy and crowded. I would recommend making reservations during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" A favorite lunch spot! The quick-service atmosphere is perfect for a midday break. I enjoy their spicy tofu dish and love how the ingredients are fresher compared to other places I’ve tried. Mostly positive, but the noise can be a bit much during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was decent but not as impressive as everyone said it would be. The curry beef lacked the expected spice and flavor. Service was average, and I felt a little unwelcomed. Overall, I might try another dish next time but I wouldn’t recommend it as a must-visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" The highlighting point at Cafe Orchid is their milk tea. It's definitely a must-try if you're there! Along with that, I had the pork chop over rice. While good, I expected a thicker sauce for the pork. Overwhelmingly fast service, which I appreciated, but be ready to wrestle for parking. " (*Curated Review*)

" A great place if you’re after decent HK comfort food! My favorite dish was the curry fish balls, so flavorful. The service was quick even with a packed dining room, but some tables were a bit cramped. I’d recommend it for anyone who loves Asian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
