First time to this new restaurant. They have another branch in city on Russell St. That one is still popular with long queue. We ordered 3 rice dishes. I loved the baked tomato pork chop of which the tomato base sauce is very profound and has the right sweetness. The pork is tender too. My friend said the other white sauce baked chicken is salty or sour. They couldn't tell Anyway I will definitely go back for the milk tea and baked tomato sauce pork chop.

Had pleasure of enjoying Hong Kong cuisine and was surprised by the presentation. The portions were much larger than they appeared in the menu photos, offering great value. The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly. The authentic drinks were a delightful addition. I look forward to visiting again for another taste of their delicious offerings!

Authentic Hong Kong cafe with plenty of car parking on site. The menu has a good range of choices, from the common set menu to stir fry dishes to HK style desserts. The quality was very good given there are plenty of disappointing ones in the surrounding suburbs.

What a great addition to Pinewood! This place is brand new and you can tell from the service they’re eager to make a positive impression. The extensive menu is a little overwhelming at first (adding photos to the QR code accessed menu would be great), but it’s worth navigating for what turned out to be very tasty food. The decor is spotless in its newness, but it’s not exactly inviting, feeling a little like a hospital cafeteria with the stark, cold lighting, blue ceiling and muted blue/grey tones throughout. Regardless, we’re really happy to see a new cuisine in Pinewood and will be back!

So traditional Hong Kong cafe. Love the feel, reminds me of HK. Food reminds me of home cooked food. So good. The noodles had a very flagrant smokey smell and taste. Just brilliant
