There are also several servers. When you are ready to order, call someone over and let them know what you want. At the same time, they normally provide some hot tea for the table.

Most orders are usually fast, from ordering to landing on the table.

The best place to go if you want affordable, amazing food

I’ve tried most of their popular/recommended dishes. I highly recommend the Yong Tofu for $15.50. Their Beef Brisket on noodles for $16.80 is really good, as well as their Hainanese Chicken Rice for $15.50. Every dish I tried was amazing.

If you want additional condiments like chilli oil, chilli sauce or pickled chilli, they have a self serve area.

It’s always better to pay with cash, as there is a credit card surcharge. But also, they have introduced a 5% surcharge for dining during the weekend.
