What Mélusine Thisse doesn't like about Cafe Orient:
Service quite nice, but unfortunately the food seems to be “meh”. My main dish was flavourless and 80% rice, not worth the money. My dad found his meal to be too plain too. However the lotus paste steamed buns were very delicious, maybe their dim sum menu is View all feedback. What User likes about Cafe Orient:
It is a Hong Kong style restrautant with extensive menu of dim sum, fried rice/noodles, hong kong style drink, pot rice, etc.The milk tea it prepares is very local to Hong Kong style, no matter it is served hot or cold, but it is a bit pricey from my point of view (2.5 for hot and 3.5 for cold) because it is small. Anyway, the food is good. The restaurant is clean. The staff can speak English, Cantonese and Putonghua... View all feedback.
