“Their "Chinese donuts" (黃饅頭) was fresh and cooked just right, especially when you dip it into the condensed milk.”
Two stars. The skewers were decent but ant-sized at yakitori prices, vegetable platters never arrived after 45 minutes, and nearly $90 left the table far from full. The fried mantou was the one thing Roger said was worth ordering.
