" I appreciate how simple and straightforward their menu is. I had the wonton noodle soup, and while the wontons were huge, I felt the broth could use more seasoning. The layout of the space is tight, which adds to the cozy vibe, but can be off-putting during busy times. Overall a satisfactory experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place truly captures the essence of authentic Cantonese cooking. I had the fish ball congee and was amazed at how fresh the fish balls tasted. It's a no-frills place but the food definitely speaks for itself. I can't wait to try more dishes from their menu next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience here. The congee was good, but I've had better elsewhere. The ambiance is very casual and it feels like a local spot. Could improve on a few of the service quirks, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe how good the wonton noodles are! They have giant wontons stuffed with shrimp. The broth had a nice rich flavor. The seating was a bit cramped but that just added to the charm of a local eatery. " (*Curated Review*)

" Service was amazing and the food came out in a flash! I loved every bite of the shrimp wonton noodles - they're so juicy and yummy! I will definitely return for another meal soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Three words: Huge. Shrimp. Wontons. The wonton soup is a must-try for any visitor. Authentic flavors and great portions make it worth the trip! " (*Curated Review*)
