We tried 3 types of porridges; pork and century eggs, beef and fish, all pretty great until they started changing texture, from thick to diluted, indicating they are using cornstarch to thicken their porridge. Kinda lame. Custard egg bao was small and a little dried up inside, rice rolls are decently good, and I enjoyed the taro dumplings the best despite the skin being torn when served.People are nice here, will be back only for taro dumplings.

Fairly priced restaurant famous for the rice boodle roll dishes! They also serve many kinds of porridge and dimsum.The best dish is the deep-fried dough. Freshly fried, super crispy and aromatic. It pairs with porridge perfectly.The rice noodle roll is tender, and the sauce is well blended.The black milk tea is a little too sweet. Tea flavor is stronger than usual milk tea.Strongly recommended.

I stumbled upon this Chang Fen place, and it was bustling with customers – a testament to its popularity. Despite the unexpected wait of 10 minutes to be seated, the experience was well worth it.The Chang Fen they serve here is nothing short of delicious, and what amazed me most was the quick preparation time, just around 5 minutes. However, the dim sum was just okay in comparison.The real star of the show, though, was their Hong Kong milk tea. It struck the perfect balance between sweetness and strength, making it one of the best Ive had in a while. I highly recommend giving it a try.Overall, despite the initial wait and the average dim sum, this place earns a solid recommendation from me for its delectable Chang Fen and outstanding Hong Kong milk tea. Highly recommend!

This place popped up on my social media and since I love me some good rice rolls, knew I had to check it out. Arrived in the area around 12, but wasnt yet hungry so we went shopping next door. Coming out of the store around 1, there was a good amount of people waiting outside. We put our name down on the list and probably ended up waiting 15-20 minutes.We were able to order via QR code which was nice. Here are the highlights that I would recommend:• Marinated beef rice noodle roll• LiWan style assorted congee• Dough stickThe dim sum is okay, but I wouldnt necessarily order it unless youre really craving it.I honestly dont think you can go wrong with any rice roll or congee. Definitely add the toppings for the congee. Overall a good experience and tasty food..Parking is easy since theres a lot. They do get busy so be prepared to wait. You probably wont wait too long as items come out quickly.

Good place for rice noodle roll! We tried the one with shrimp and beef, also the one with BBQ pork, all are good! Remember to add the egg. The rice noodle skin is very thin but tender.Generally this place is very popular, we arrived on a weekend around 12:30 and there was already a line outside. We waited 20-30 mins to get a seat. But once youre seated, the service is pretty quick.

There is a bit of a wait on weekends but it goes by fast. Once you sit down, there is a QR code to order from your phone. The items come out fairly quickly.I highly recommend the black and gold molten lava buns. They live up to their name as the egg yolk is runny and the bun is soft! After trying a few of the rice rolls, my favorite is the original shrimp one.

Nice place for congee and the extra items you can eat with it. The textures were great and the food was tasty.

Yummy spot to eat chang fen and congee! we tried the chang fen with shrimp (delicious, loved the veggies in there too) and the chang fen with a you tiao inside (also solid), as well as the preserved egg and pork congee and the liwan style assorted congee. both congees were delicious, but both also couldve used a Little more of the fillings in there 😅.

Clean and beautiful dining facility next to a big Asian grocery store. Great service and staff were very attentive without rushing us.The prices for the food is pretty good - $8 per dish. We got 3 things for 2 people and it was definitely enough. The food tasted pretty fresh but I thought it was also bland.The ambience was pretty nice inside for the Chinese restaurant. It felt new and the bathroom was clean.

Pass by the dining hall and punch in! There are not many people, so you can sit down without an appointment. The environment is clean, the skin of rice rolls is too thick, the meat inside is too thick, the porridge and rice rolls taste ordinary, but the ginger juice hits the milk very well! Maybe everyones taste is different, you should try it.
