Chinatown, Downtown

Chinese Asian Breakfast

Review Summary

Chez Chine is described as high quality with a professional level of service, featuring a fish fillet cooked in wine that is impressive and a menu that blends Chinese signature dishes with delicacies from Hong Kong and Macao for an enjoyable dining experience. The staff are consistently described as very nice and the food is overall delicious, with the atmosphere enhanced by seeing fish swim in the water and children watching. Positive notes largely concern dinner service, while breakfast is criticized as mediocre and very overpriced with cold aloof service, undercooked potatoes, watery coffee, and dry flavorless French toast; some feel the breakfast options offer less value than quick service alternatives. The decor is magnificent, vegetables are cooked to perfection, and the overall value for money is excellent; the staff are courteous and professional, and the ambiance is lively yet refined, underscored by the aquarium like scene with fish.View restaurant profile

Overall, L2 Bubbletea offers a wide variety of teas and a cozy space to hang out, with generally good service and some helpful staff who offered to remake a drink or suggest sakura pearls; however, some experiences were less positive, including a pumpkin tea that tasted like tea but had no pumpkin flavor and was overly sweet, a night staff member described as rude, and minor issues like fruit flies in the area.
