We ordered the "Okonomiyaki Fries" which were absolutely amazing! The order was ready within 10 minutes for takeout. The Kiosk war pretty good as well, the pictures looked exactly like the foods you get. Surprisingly we got a free Mango drink to our order, which was also delicious. Chinatown really is the only part, which doesn’t lack flavor.

ok 3 stars might seem low for what I'm about to say but I'm standing by it. first off, I actually really liked the food pictured. we just split some appetizers and it all tasted well and good. but two big issues: 1) immediately when we walk in and are seated, it STINKS in there. idk how to describe it, but kinda like musty bathroom or musty kitchen sink smell; it was NOT pleasant and made my friend kinda nauseous. we would have left if we weren't already seated and didn't wanna be rude. 2) the HK Lemon Black tea (not pictured) was NOT it. objectively, it tasted okay, albeit with a noticable "splenda" flavor which I didn't ask for, and also it just objectively wasn't a Hong Kong style Lemon Black tea. it was just a lemon black tea. what makes a HK style is the deep flavor and strength, none of which were present. if it had just said "Lemon Black tea" and that's what I got, I wouldn't complain, but I ordered a HONG KONG Lemon Black tea. for those who don't quite understand, imagine ordering a Taiwanese Popcorn chicken and getting what is essentially Chick Fil A nuggets with fried basil. it still tastes good, but it's objectively not what the dish is. so they either gotta change the n

Really enjoyed our meal at Mabu Generation in Chinatown. We tried the noodle soup, sausage with braised pork rice, beef sizzling plate rice, and octopus tentacles. Everything was well-seasoned, and tasty. The noodle soup was probably my favorite, and the braised pork rice was very comforting. Great place for a casual meal if you are in the area.

The sausage minced pork over rice is a must try. I especially love the pickled veggies and the sausage on the rice. The Mala mini hot pot we god was just ok. I like all the ingredients that was in the pot but the flavor was not my favorite. Props to the staff for coming by each table to ask if we were ok with a table that had a pet dog with them .

I was excited to try this place after seeing all the great reviews, but unfortunately, I was left rather disappointed. While the service was pretty good overall, the food was a let-down. Here's what I ordered: - Taiwanese-style Popcorn Chicken → 2.5/5: The chicken was soggy and not crispy/crunchy enough. The accompanying sauce was pretty good, but I've had much better, like the one from Taipei Cafe in Bridgeport. This version is far from being a good Popcorn Chicken. - Sizzling Black Pepper Cheese Garlic Beef Rice → 8/10: This was the best dish of the three we ordered. It was quite flavorful, with the only drawback being the small portion size. - Baked Cheese with Black Truffle White Sauce & Chicken Cutlet over Spaghetti → 6/10: Nothing special here. It was quite bland, but still passable overall. I also noticed a strange, pungent smell right by the main entrance. It wasn't as noticeable in the dining area, but it was the first thing that hit me when I walked in. The hot pot dishes on other tables looked promising, and I might come back to try them someday. However, based on this initial visit, it was a so-so experience. It wasn't terrible, but there was nothing special about i
