New Regent Cafe

Despite the bad ratings, I decided to give this place a try—and I was really surprised. It’s a hidden gem. I think many of the negative reviews may be about cleanliness. True, it’s not the cleanest spot, but this is more of a casual eatery than a full restaurant. And considering the prices—almost like McDonald’s—it’s hard to complain. I visited twice and both times ordered the meal of the day. Each time it was very good, with a proper amount of meat, rice, plus complimentary soup and tea. It was filling, tasty, and very affordable. It also felt very authentic—almost all the other customers were Chinese, which says a lot about the quality. Overall, I can definitely recommend it.

I started coming here in the late 80s when breakfast with milk tea or coffee was $2.99! Well, it’s $7.95 now! It used to to be owned & run by two sister and their family and then sold it to current owners! Still same dirty nasty chairs & table but food is still consistently decent! Milk tea is good, broth on the instant noodles are just as good as before! You just have to get over the chairs and aesthetics of the place! Service was fast and very friendly!

We got black pepper steak with noodles and salt and pepper pork chop. They're not super fancy but definitely delicious. The prices were reasonable. It's a place to stop by if you're craving some authentic yet simple Cantonese dishes!
