Environment & Hygiene:As we walked up the stairs, we thought that they weren't too busy because of how quiet it was. However, once we got in, we realized how packed it was. Everyone was just really quiet in there. Haha. I know this place has been around for quite a long time, and it was like a old fashion style Chinese steakhouse with the dimmed lighting and red/white checkered tableclothes that reminded me of picnics. As for hygiene, it didn't seem to be a concern in any way.
Service:The staff were all very polite. They were really particular about the setting and presentation of the dishes on the table to my surprise. When they placed my steak down, it had to be put at a certain angle, and when I moved it, they moved it back. How hilarious! Also, I have never experienced such quick service in my life. Literally a second after we ordered, our soup was already on the table! I liked that we didn't need to ask for anything. Everything was brought out to us with perfect timing.
Taste & Value:
It was hard to make out the hand-writing on the menu, but we figured it out. Both my cousin and I had the Grilled Angus Steak ($140) that came with soup, bread, dessert and coffee/tea. The soup was the classic Borscht "red soup" served at Chinese western restaurants. I was happy with the taste of the soup, as it was rich and flavourful. A lot of times, I find this soup to be watered down and tasteless. Also, dipping the soft bread into it was a pleasure. I personally liked the bread on the left more, but my cousin liked the toasted bread crackers on the right more.
When we almost finished the soup, our steaks came out. The server asked us if we wanted some hot mustard on the side and we both said yes.The steak came with some potatoes, carrots and corn. I thought the portion was decent. Although there was no sauce, the steak was very good. We both had our steaks cooked medium well, but still the steak was juicy and not tough. I guess salt is all you need and a well seasoned piece of beef needs no sauce to be good.
After devouring our steak, we had the daily dessert, which was a coconut meringue pie with a cup of coffee. I thought the pie was soso, as it didn't have much taste, especially the meringue. To me, the crust is always the best part of a pie so I enjoyed the bottom of the pie more, where there was also custard spread over.
Final Verdict:I thought $150 was a bit expensive for lunch. I don't think the food was worth that price, but at the same time, the service and environment made up for it.
