Description

Occupying what visitors identify as the former location of the famous Mei Lai Wah, this spot offers an affordable menu highlighted by its attention to texture. The char siu rice noodle rolls are notably soft and pudding-like, while the shrimp and roast pork fried rice is prepared with distinct, separated grains. Alongside traditional options like har gaw, shrimp crepes, and choy sum, the kitchen delivers fast service in a warm, decorated setting.
