We went there for a breakfast and I had croissant sandwich and Hong Kong milk tea set. It was stirringly good, the bread texture and flavour was super good, and the milk tea was bold and rich. I lined it so much so I had the second serving. The service was nice even though it was pretty busy. I’ll definitely go back!

You must come here. Service is excellent. Prices are very fair. And the food is excellent. The kaya toast is exquisite so good. The brunch items are all different than you'd expect, but we're yummy. The toast and eggs were perfectly done. I also really enjoyed the light savory breakfast flavours which were well complimented by the sweet rich kaya toast.

The food here is delicious and great value. I really enjoyed the baked pork chop rice. The sauce is a little overly sweet but overall it's a yummy dish.

A modern and bright cafe vibe with Hong Kong breakfast and lunch staples. I got the iced Hong Kong style milk tea, and it had just the right amount of sweetness, but had a creamy and deep tea flavour. The baked pork chop with spaghetti impressed me! The sauce had great flavour, and the pork was tender. Many other places where I tried this dish had overcooked spaghetti, but here it had the right bite and chew! This was the best made version of the dish I've tried. Would recommend the baked pork chop on spaghetti! (You might be surprised there is spaghetti, but it is actually commonly paired with it in Hong Kong!)

I had the pumpkin salted egg yolk pasta set lunch (17.99), which came with a soup, salad, and drink (I chose HK milk tea, wish it was a larger cup since it was very good). The pasta was so creamy, the chicken skin was crispy too. The ambiance is nice and not loud, there's different table sizes for couples vs groups. I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for HK food in a different environment (ie has table service).

This is a newly opened Hong Kong-style breakfast spot in downtown Toronto. The ambiance is fantastic, and both the BBQ pork rice and satay noodles are incredibly delicious. Having a bowl on a Saturday morning will make your entire weekend feel blissful.

Lovely HK brunch spot with all the classics and great prices. The HK style milk tea and french toast were 10/10. Will 100% be returning.

A modern HK style cafe. Ordered milk tea and bbq pork rice. Both were so good! HK tea was sooooo smooth and not over powering at all. The cafe is small but with the cutest interior design. I only wish they have a bigger menu and open for dinner too. Def recommend it to everyone!
