Reviews of Deer Garden Signatures present a mixed picture, with some diners praising hearty Hong Kong style soups, a wide range of ingredients, and consistently warm service on good days. Others point to smaller portions such as beef tongue, overcooked garnishes kept in steam tables, and slower service with delays for water, sauces, and taking orders. Milk tea is a highlight for many, with rich flavors, though a few expect tapioca in the specialty milk tea and do not find it. Some patrons compare it unfavorably to the downtown location, reporting better service and tastier dishes there. There are plentiful positive notes about friendly staff, comforting bowls, and a wide broth and noodle selection, with dishes like curry chicken, fried fish spaghetti, and udon receiving praise. Overall experiences vary by visit and day, with price increases and inconsistent performance cited by some, while others keep returning for favorites.
Nice ambiance; everything else is just average. I didn't enjoy any soup or other dishes to be honest. Don't order anything with steam rice; it's very blend & not properly cooked.
Food is authentic & delicious, prices are just right & reasonable. The service is fabulous complete with those robotic servers bringing you your drinks & dishes. Super cute. We had a great time navigating through the enormous menu they for it's a one-stop shop for all East Asian cuisine!
Once the food was delivered! That was it ! Nobody came to see how we liked the food ! Do you need anything? Even the plates were not picked up & invoice not delivered! Soup was ok!

This place is legit. The broth of fish soup noodles is so fresh. Unlike other Chinese places, it doesn't taste like Msg at all. All of dishes is so delish. The bubble tea is also good. I like there sheng Jian bao is definitely the best in town. You better hurry up. They sell these buns really fast.
The food are mostly in Cantonese style, the taste is ok, meet the expectations but not very high quality. The fish soup noodle is the only one to be recommended. The cleanliness is going worse since recent several time dine-in, the tables were oily, there were still food residues on the chairs. The most disgusting thing, an Asian man waiter serving meal & cleanup table by wearing the same blue glove, & I saw his finger (with glove) touched the soup when sending to the next table.... I donno that customer realized or not.. but I preferred bringing the soup from the robot by myself after...
紅豆冰用刨冰未見過溝完後冇咗¼ Red bean ice with shaved ice has never seen before. After mixing ice went down ¼ cup. Food was better in the past. I hope they stick back to the traditional red bean ice drink. Not sure what happened but quality of the food seemed to have taken a dive. Porc cutlet was dry. Really hope they return to their original cooking methods.

First time here. You can order via the app by scanning the bar code or flagging down a server to take your order. I ordered through the app. Good deal on the halibut meal. I got option #7 which was steamed with chili, garlic & preserved cabbage. Comes with a sizeable portion of rice & a soup. I think there's some cooking time for this as it took maybe 20 minutes for it to arrive vs other dishes arriving quicker. Delicious main dish. Soup was a bit lackluster as it tasted fishy yet missing some seasoning. The HK style milk tea was authentic tasting (strong, flavorful) & since it was in the steel mug, was still warm by the end of my meal. They had those serving robots that were for some reason also accompanied by servers. Seems to work as it allows more than just one table's order to be delivered & ensure people get the correct dishes. There was a minor issue of a side dish we ordered that didn't show up. I let the front desk know about the issue when paying & they removed it from my bill & provided a 10% discount for the trouble (without me asking). Great attitude. Enjoyed the HK diner vibe I got from the 2000s music playing as well. 😄 Definitely will come back as I want to try their laksa!
Beef teppanyaki with black pepper source is soooo good unfortunately only available on weekends. hk style milk tea is also very authentic & highly recommended.
