Before you head over
Helpful tips on parking, menu customization, and daily set ordering before you visit
Plan Around Busy Parking
The on-site parking lot gets very busy with steady car turnover, so allow extra time to navigate or park during peak periods.
Customize the French Toast
If ordering the HK-style French Toast, note that it contains peanut butter; request it without peanut butter when ordering if you have dietary preferences or allergies.
Upgrade Daily Set Drinks
Daily set meals pair a main and soup with a hot drink, but you can upgrade to traditional iced HK milk tea or lemon tea for a small 50-cent to $1 surcharge.
