"To summarize, Hong Kong Food Street HKFS can be your humble, go to Chinese restaurant; 4 star suggests I'm likely to go out of my way to come back. The restaurant's look is a bit dated with off white tile with black grout. Tables are large and equipped with hand made lazy susans with some designs on them actually kind of cool . Out of 6 dishes I tried yesterday, my top 2 recommendations are: 1. Peking duck $38 I like how the duck is cut and laid out. Each piece is lined with a square of crispy duck skin. HKFS uses fluffy, white, taco style baos and the usual condiments: hoison sauce, sliced cucumbers, and sliced green onions. The duck also comes with a complimentary duck broth soup with some bok choy inside. Creamy and delicious, and best of all free. Somewhat of an expensive option, but it's a tasty set that you could easily feed 3 4 people on alone. We had to pack up the rest of the soup since we ran out of belly space. 2. Japanese eggplant and beef tips dark horse we've been on an eggplant craze lately and have taken a liking to the various ways restaurants prepare the plant. My goodness, it's delicious. Not too salty and somewhat sweet. Texture is nice cooked to the right firmness. If you're getting the dish for the beef you might find yourself disappointed, pleasantly surprised, or with mixed feelings. Just remember the beef is to compliment the star of the show eggplant !"

"When it comes to Chinese food, Sam Woo satisfies me every time. Not only is their restaurant clean, but their food is tasty and reasonably priced. I can’t think of the exact time that they open, but I know that their restaurant is open earlier than other nearby Chinese restaurants. They also have a pretty good selection of lunch specials. As long as you get there before 3:00 PM, you can save a bit of money and leave with your tummy filled. Great, eh? Service is okay. It’s not bad, but not the best type of service available. There is one particular waiter that’s super friendly though. The other waiters are just so-so. I didn’t really dock them off on service simply because most of the other Chinese restaurants I’ve been to have had so-so service as well. The restaurant is pretty spacious. They have a tank that’s filled with live seafood. So, if you’re not into the whole eating “fresh” food, then make sure that you avoid ordering anything that says “live” from the menu. (Supposedly, “fresh” seafood tastes better. They have restrooms located near the entrance to their restaurant. I must warn you that their toilets tend to have a problem. In other words, low flush power. It takes a few times before things get flushed completely. Just thought I’d let you know… Sam Woo seems to attract families and their round tables are perfect for large families. They also have rectangular tables for smaller parties/families. Don’t be surprised to see someone’s grandma/grandpa at Sam Woo; I’ve actually seen many elders dine here with their younger relatives. Although I said that their restaurant is clean, there is one thing negative that I’d like to point out to you. I’ve caught their cook go on a smoking break before. Just thought I’d let you know in case anyone doesn’t like that… But then again, that sort of seems to be the norm at almost every Chinese restaurant. I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been able to observe at least one cook go off on a smoking break. Sam Woo has their own parking lots. However, it can be pretty hectic to find a parking space if you come during their busy hours (lunch/dinner time ."
