Very very cheap

The benefit of this place is a meal (dish, rice and soup) costs about £3. It’s cash or octopus only. If you’re looking for a quick cheap eat, great, but the food wasn’t particularly tasty and not very seasoned. My tastebuds may be ruined by British Chinese food 🤪 I got the vegetarian chicken and lotus root with rice

Pros: Cheap, Central, Easy to find

Cons: Food quite bland, Limited payment options , No drinks menu or drinks offered it seems

So cheap and good

Listen, you're paying HKD39 for a whole meal set and a soup. I'm visiting from the UK and that's less than £4 to me. Why would I complain? To add to that, the flavours were authentic and there's free tea & chilli sauce. The waitress spoke fluent English and even gave a discount on the soup. 10/10 would come again.

Cheap and cheerful

Restaurant is upstairs. Mains from 36hkd . Friendly people. Some of the food was a bit gloopy for me, but the fried things were great!

Generous Portions, Very Affordable!

In the heart of a bustling TST, somewhere quiet (when we went) that serves completely vegan foods with generous portions at a super affordable price. Would recommend their fried rice!! The soup was also 👍🏼.

Simple nice food

Simple nice food. Comes with soup and tea. Very big portion. Need to locate the small entrance to the lift to 2nd floor.

Delicious food, no drinks

A simple restaurant, no bells and whistles, very low prices. I had the crispy seitan, which was delicious - served on a bed of steamed spinach, with rice on the side.

You can get any main course as a combo meal with soup. That day they had a coconut soup, which was something I had never tasted before - it was really good.

The main con is that they have nothing to drink besides hot water (not room temperature, actually hot).

"To keep our body warm is good to health." This is the healthy eating concept in traditional Chinese medicine. That's why traditional Chinese restaurants do not provide any cold drinks and only encourage drinking soup or hot plain water. 😊

Great prices for set meals

This was a great find in the TST neighborhood, and conveniently close to the tourist-y waterfront. The veggie prawns in tomato sauce was hearty. No frills cafe with quick service and many options for set meals. Serve yourself water and tea. You pay right after you order.
