Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only along Clement and adjacent avenues; generally easier after 8pm but can require a short walk on weekends.
Dress code: Casual—come as you are; neighborhood crowd in jeans, hoodies, and sneakers.
Noise level: Moderate to lively depending on hour—audible chatter and clinking dishes, but conversation remains possible at most tables.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes at peak; late seatings after 8:30pm usually immediate.
Weekday lunch: No wait, though partial menu overlap with dinner.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several veggie noodle and rice dishes plus egg-based options.
Vegan options: Limited—some vegetable stir-fries can be made vegan upon request, but sauces may contain oyster extract.
Gluten-free options: Minimal—most sauces and noodles use soy sauce or wheat; safe only with careful customization.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you both value comfort food over ambience—lighting is bright and vibe is casual, but the food shows genuine local flavor.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, always—reservations aren’t taken. Walk-ins find tables easily after 8pm when the dinner crowd thins.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—families frequent it for quick meals. Booster seats and shareable portions make it suitable for kids 5+.
Best For
Better for: Late-night comfort plates with Hong Kong flavors at prices lower than comparable cafés nearby.
Skip if: You want upscale ambience, quiet dining, or strictly vegan/healthy fare.
