" While I had high expectations, I was a bit let down by my recent visit. The food was good but not exceptional; the flavors could have been stronger. My congee was decent, but I found it a bit bland. The service was friendly, yet it took longer than expected for my dishes to arrive. On the plus side, the portions were generous, and the prices are reasonable. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Cafe Orient was decent. I went for a simple meal, ordering congee and some sides. The food was satisfactory but did not blow me away. One of my friends had the clay pot rice, and he absolutely loved it, so I guess it depends on what you order. The staff were kind, and overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family visited for dim sum, and it was a fantastic experience! The food was authentic, and the portions were more than adequate. Our favorites were the sticky rice in lotus leaf as well as the shrimp dumplings. The only downside was that the service was slightly slow during peak hours, but the quality of food more than made up for the wait. Will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is truly a hidden gem! The atmosphere is cozy, and the food is authentic and flavorful. I loved the clay pot rice - it was hearty and comforting. The staff were friendly and made sure we were taken care of. Definitely a fantastic spot to indulge in some delicious dim sum! " (*Curated Review*)

" The congee here is absolutely divine, reminiscent of what you would get in Hong Kong. I tried their preserved egg and pork congee, and it truly hit the spot. The only downside was that the tea I ordered lacked the robust flavor I was hoping for. Nonetheless, the friendly service made the experience worthwhile. The atmosphere could use a bit of charm, but overall, I'd recommend it to anyone seeking comfort food. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who missed home-cooked Cantonese food, Cafe Orient has been my go-to restaurant. The baked rice and milk tea feels like a hug in a bowl. I sometimes find it a bit greasy, but the flavors always bring me back. The staff treat you like family, which is an added bonus. I recommend the clay pot rice; it's simply delightful! " (*Curated Review*)

" I heard so much about Cafe Orient and finally decided to try it. The food is fantastic! The flavors are authentic, and it felt like eating back home in Hong Kong. The service was quick and courteous. I tried the fried rice noodles and the soup, both of which were superb. Will definitely be back for more. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
