I am glad to see there is a HK style cafe spot in Seattle, where they are far and few between. This place does serve delicious food, a little bit of a fusion take, and priced on the way higher end than what I would expect given the small portions. I went here for a Sunday lunch and it was not busy. I got the ribeye with spaghetti with black pepper sauce because black pepper sauce is what I grew up with when I get grilled meats in HK style cafes. Lunch special is $23.95 for this, and I paid an $8 surcharge to sub the soda with a cocktail which is a decent substitution (as most cocktails are $10-15+). The ribeye is pretty good, full of flavor. I was initially hesitant that they cooked it quite well done due to the hot plate, what a waste of meat, but it was still very juicy and not too much fat. The spaghetti is also served in the same hot plate so there were a few bits where it was quite crunchy and flavorful so that was nice. There were steamed veggies too. The black pepper sauce is flavorful but on the saltier side, but I still finished it cause the combination of flavors of the dish was excellent. I just wished for the price, the portions could've been much larger. I was only half full after. The cocktail I got was the Hong Kong slipper which as a midori drink, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Presentation was simple but sufficient. Service is okay. Not expecting much, but I would've appreciated a water refill. Also, prices are high but they further nickle and dime you. They also tack on an additional 4% surcharge for credit card transactions, on top of tax and tip. So what was $23.95 was close to $25. Imagine dinner, the ribeye would be $25.95 before the surcharge. With what looks like half-meal portions, this place is wayyyy too expensive. But the food is good enough that the value only deserves to take off at most 1 star.

Me and my woman walked in. It was very dead. We weren't really sure about staying, but a bartender changed our experience and made it a memorable one. The food was good. The bartender was amazing. Would definitely recommend go see Eric. We had softshell crab sandwich really really good really recommended.

Great food at great prices (during happy hour) with quick and kind service made for a great meal. Stopped in here to take advantage of their happy hour specials and it did not disappoint. Wings were cooked well and extremely tasty. The Goya was also delicious. Beers a good deal with quite a few on special. Service was a bit slow at the beginning but understandable as they were bringing out food to a large party. After that though our waiter was extremely friendly and made sure we had all that we needed. If we were staying longer in Seattle I would go back! Inside they have a mixture of high tops and regular tables and a large bar area as well as cool neon Asian signs gracing the walls.
