  This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend of ours. The food was really good. Brings me back to the food I had in Hong Kong. The two of us crave for more, we will come back again for sure. The owners was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant is small and sparsely decorated. Seating ground floor and first floor. The restaurant fills up quickly so get there early because seating is limited. Prices are reasonable.

  Was going to dine in but then decided to take away. Service was horrible/rude. I asked a few questions about my item and the server talked to me like I didn't know how to read.. he kept pointing at the description and said "that's what it says, that's what's in it"..
  
  When my fiancé and I got back to the hotel to eat our dessert. The dessert had no flavor and wasn't even sweet. Looked like they just threw everything in a cup and served it to us..

  One thing I absolutely hate is overpriced sub-par asian food. In this case TPT has certainly done it. The baked pork chop rice in particular was appealing with essentially just half a pork chop in the whole entire dish (see photo).
  
  The sesame chicken lacked sesame taste, the chilli wonton lacked authenticity, while the pork chop rice lacked pork chop.
  
  Saving grace was the red bean ice, at least that was nice.

  This is probably by far the best Hong Kong 'Tai Pai Tong' (Hawker style) restaurant I have found in London.  Nothing comes close to it value, portion and flavour wise.  This place is more canteen style eatery depending on where you seat.  Sometimes you are jammed packed with other patrons down stairs but then there are some big tables upstairs for groups.  Certainly not a place for lovers.  You are here for the cheap food.  The other good thing about this place is the service.  Unlike some Asian restaurants where there is no customer service, there is at least some here and perhaps the other reason why I always come back here.  
  
  This place is also frequented by the Asian community and that is another strong sign that it is very good food.  I have uploaded quite a few pictures but there are tons of food to try here.  That includes things that are not on the menu you see stuck on the window.  The special menu are stuck on the walls inside the establishment.  I have to say nearly all the food here are has a very home made feel to it like how your grandma used to make.  So I suggest, try as much as you can and I bet you will find stuff that you will like ordering everytime you come here.  Best thing is, they are reasonable and cheap!  
  
  By the way, one thing they are really famous for is the dessert.  Definitely try the mango based ones.  Sometimes I come here just for desserts but do tell them and try only do it off peak when it is not packed as they will tell you to order food during peak time or else you need to take away.

  The stickers on the glass window advertising this as a top cheap eat doesn't feel deserved. Lots of seating (upstairs) and fast service. The problem is there is not really a good value here with dishes I ordered. The Hainanese Chicken plate was dry(including the skin being rubbery). The wonton noodle soup seemed okay but nothing special. The char siu from the combo chicken and char siu plate was sub par. (Bland and limp-- not even roasted properly) The hot tea by request was good.. but they charged 3 pounds for it.  (Not even a pot of complimentary tea). We also got a side dish of choy sum with oyster sauce and some fried dumplings. They may do some dishes better than others. There are a lot of choices in London. Choose wisely.
