Description

The counter format relies on pre-prepared trays, letting diners quickly pick up Cantonese items like sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf. But the setup comes with documented trade-offs: dishes left out in trays can arrive served cold, and food freshness varies. Service is a frequent point of friction, with reports of staff being unresponsive to complaints or refusing refunds when orders fall short.
