Lunch with boyfriend and originally we were planning Frites. But then he noticed ... this place was open! It seems to never been open when boyfriend is around and he was curious. He wanted to eat in a gritty place, smelling motor oil while wolfing down food.The menu is in Chinese only. There is no 10% service charge. The menu is also on the wall.

The menu is in Chinese only. There is no 10% service charge. The menu is also on the wall. Seating is outside next to an auto repair shop though their kitchen is inside their listed restaurant address.
Lunch time they have several daily meals all for $48. It comes with a soup and hot drink (with cold drink upgrade option).
When we arrived they had their last bowl of soup so they gave it to me while the waitress told boyfriend he looked like a non soup drinker anyways. Boyfriend was thrilled. Wait staff that gave him attitude.
The soup was really good. A carrot and pork bone soup. It was extremely sweet and rich in flavor. Portion was also very big.
Boyfriend had the braised beef brisket with rice. This was really fantastic. May not look fancy but wow was it packed with flavor! The beef was so tender, it literally fell apart.
I had the sweet and sour pork with rice. The waitress asked if I wanted a small portion of rice (how thoughtful!) but quite honestly, the small portion looked exactly like the regular portion of rice. It was a lot! The taste was a bit on the sour side. But the pork was surprisingly soft and moist. Usually, most places are super hard as it's been over fried. But this was just right.
Generous portions and well created food. Yes, it's filthy but the food was really good. Unsure if boyfriend will be back though. I think this full filled his bucket list item.
