Early Bird Cafe

I won't soon return. This is one of the few restaurants in town that I have left without eating. Communication is bad and ordering may become a chore. The giant digital board to order on is terrible and some attempts at ordering dishes spelled out and printed with pictures posted on the wall results in a shrug.Try any number of places up the road first.

This is basically a take out restaurant. They have four tables but all food is served in takeout containers. This is the third time we've been there and we have never seen more than two other customers and yet, our order prep time was slow. The quality of the food was mediocre. The Shu Mai had a spongy unpleasant texture. The Congee was just so-so. I am not optimistic about it's future.

I would put this at a 3.5 -- good but not amazing. However, one of the nicer places in the area. I've been here for brunch twice and both times it was decent. It's seat yourself, so depending on time of day can be hard to find a place to sit. You then order at the counter and get a number to get your food. They have a variety of nice menu options, but these are not executed as well as they could be. Service is minimal because of the ordering style, but was friendly.

They kept pushing for their dim sum. We didn't try dim sum because they are not cheap at all and also very limited selection. We tried Beef Chow Feng (干炒牛河)，century old egg porridge, and curry rice noodle. The porridge is the best among the three. The curry rice noodle is ok, but very little meat or shrimp; it does have lots of eggs. The Beef Chow Feng is the biggest disappointment - it's very pale in color, it doesn't even look like the photo... the only reason why I gave 3 stars are for the porridge & the rice noodle. If I had only ordered Beef Chow Feng, I would only give 1 star!

Friendly staff and helpful with ordering since it was my first time. Price seems to be high. Everything was expensive compare to others around the area. Food is ok. Nothing amazing to talk about.

I came in at a pretty odd time for a meal aka 3:45pm on a Saturday. It wasn't super busy although there were people. There was a decent amount of dimsum items that were no longer available. I hadn't had lunch and had originally come in for popcorn chicken. Looking at the prices, I decided to get the fried chicken steak in hopes that it would be a good enough substitute. I also added in a taro milk tea with boba since it was only $2.50 which feels like a miracle these days. The food came up relatively quickly and in a takeout box although I ate it in the store. They have a total of 4 large table but given the closeness of 3 of the tables, if there are people occupying seats closest to the middle table, it isn't really feasible to use the middle table. I ended up just sitting near the windows. Overall I don't feel this particular meal was worth getting. The chicken didn't have a significantly distinct flavor to me beyond too salty in certain bites. The broccoli was as bland as I expected. The boba wasn't bad and was reasonably chewy. The taro milk tea was the expected powered taro milk tea that I wanted. Perhaps I'll give them another try if I'm in the area but for now this is my opinion.

Been hoping to try lunch here for some time since it's close by a work spot of mine. Today was not too busy. Parking lot is small and always busy. You order at a counter and pay (and tip ) first.Small dining area. They were very friendly. Food takes a while because of Togo orders. I often try twice cooked pork at new Chinese places. Theirs was not the best I've had but certainly not the worst. Average size portion and rice with a cucumber salad. Too many tough greens and no cabbage. The only service is a nice lady bringing you a styrofoam clam shell with your meal .Self serve water and condiments.After tax and minimum tip(18%) my rather average lunch without any soup was over $22! This is not usually what I spend for a simple work day lunch!I'll splurge sometimes if it's really great food but this place might not get my lunch business again. Toshis two doors over gives much bigger lunches for less money in the same clam shell. Really wish I could be more excited about this place!Might try it for a dim sum snack instead next time.

Cute little cafe at the corner of the plaza across the metropolitan market Breakfast is legit for a pretty good priceRoasted duck 5/5 delicious! Ordered again during our second visit Beef Chow FunCentury Egg & Pork CongeePumpkin with salted duck egg: my favorite!!! Sour and spicy shredded potatoes Matcha boba milk tea: pretty good

We were wanting Dim Sum for brunch on Saturday. We got there at noon and there was no wait for our party of 4. We were surprised to learn that they had ipad ordering and a self service order kiosk like McDonald's. 5/5 for ambiance and updated tech for a cantonese dim sum spot. Ordered the har gao (shrimp dumplings) and radish cake for dim sum. They were pretty good but on the pricier side $9.95 for four dumplings. 3/5 for the pricing. Also ordered the fish congee and the salt and pepper shrimp and the chong qing chicken combos. The spices on the sichuan dishes were just right and i liked the light but crunchy breading. 4/5 for the taste.

Their MaPo tofu is very tasty. Egg rolls are small but are good to eat. Prices for meals are reasonable. D sum prices are a bit high though imhoService is good
