" Absolutely fantastic! The beef tripe rice noodle soup was rich and flavorful, making me feel like I was back in Hong Kong. The staff was incredibly friendly and the atmosphere was cozy, perfect for a relaxing meal. A bit cramped, but that's what makes it feel authentic! Highly recommend. " (*Curated Review*)

" The authenticity of the food at China Boy is outstanding! I had the shrimp rice noodle crepes and they were the best I’ve had outside of Hong Kong. The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating. My only issue was the limited seating; it’s definitely a takeout spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had some noodle soup and it was just okay. The flavors were not as pronounced as I hoped for. While the service was excellent, the food didn’t blow me away. I maybe caught it on a bad day? I’d still be willing to give it another shot since I love supporting small businesses. " (*Curated Review*)

" China Boy is a little treasure! The rice noodle dishes are crafted from scratch. The flavor of the broth in the noodle soup was delicious. The place is small but the service is attentive. I appreciated that they are cash only, though it adds a small inconvenience. I’ll definitely recommend it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food! Had the BBQ pork rice noodle and it was exceptional. The atmosphere is a bit basic and it's mostly a takeaway spot, but the staff is friendly and the food is worth it. I would love to return and try more things on their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Even though it’s a small hole in the wall, the taste is far from ordinary. The dumplings were fresh and had lots of flavors. I particularly liked the sweet and sour sauce with the fried items. Although the dining space is quite cramped, the service makes up for it in warmth. I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved everything about my meal here! The dumplings were carefully prepared and so delicious. I found myself wishing I had more to eat. The ambiance is down-to-earth but warm. The only issue is it's cash only, which slightly detracts from my experience. Still, highly recommend this spot! " (*Curated Review*)
