I usually pop over there for a cheap fast meal before I head of home from work. I've only ever order 2 dishes from them so I'm not too sure what the rest of the menu taste like. The shredded salty chicken and the crispy chicken is definitely tasty there. I usually ask for a lot of chilly sauce which makes them gives me some death stares. It really depends on the staff that's working there. Some of them are nice but most of them are plain rude. The service there is also very inconsistent. Sometimes I get charged extra for the sauce sometimes I don't. I never question it but I always prepare myself to pay for the extra sauce so I don't get disappointed.
Its dark and hot inside the restaurant. They didn't have air con on the day I went. Only thing they had was a fan for the staffs located near the counter.
Don't ask me why I still go there. Maybe I'm just a habit.

visited this for few times and mostly just ordered their Vietnamese noodle (pho) or crispy skin fried chicken and rice. the place is decent but the service just not that great as the waiter normally will just throw the menu or the food to the table recklessly.
The decor is not so hot (just your basic tables and chairs) and sometimes you might have to share the table with others and only cash is accepted. So bring your cash.

Approximate cost: $12

I have very fond memories of this little eating place. It has been a couple of years since I've been here but I feel compelled to recommend what I think of as their signature dish, chicken po chei rice. For the last couple of years I have tried to find a restaurant that serves this dish but so far I have been unsuccessful. Chicken po chei rice is similar to chicken claypot rice, with succulent chicken, chinese sausage, mushrooms and with a fried egg on top which the server mashes into the rice when they bring the sizzling pot to your table. The bottom of the rice is brown and crispy where it sticks to the pot - it's the best part! I took my sister here who was visiting from London and she loved it too. I also liked their crispy skin fried chicken which I usually got with fried rice but you can get it with tomato rice too. They do stir fried vegies with rice for vegetarians.

Very down to earth and unpretentious eating establishment, excellent value. Always busy, and service can be a little slow but nothing much to complain about.

Approximate cost: $9-$12

The food here is actually fine but I found the staff to be quite unfriendly and rude. The restaurant had very dim lighting and the seats were uncomfortable.

Great value for money and delicious! Lots of food quantity and great taste. Lighting is a little dark, but that doesn't really matter because the food is so great!

Approximate cost: $11
