Because it was food available for late-night snacks, I gave it an extra half star 🌟.

I've passed by this place many times, observing it for a long time. Recently, I happened to be handling some things nearby at night, so I stopped by to try it out.

I can only say, very disappointing 😞. Its operating hours made me glad that there was another option for late-night snacks, but after eating, I probably wouldn’t want to buy it again.

The main reason for my disappointment is the "cleanliness."

When I walked into the store, I noticed that the floor was greasy and sticky. I initially sat in the wooden chair area close to the wall. When I sat down, I was a bit shocked; the gaps in the seats were full of food residues and crumbs, and there were stains on the table surface, which felt sticky to the touch.

I couldn't help but change seats, but the other seats were the same; the tables were sticky. Besides, I don't know how the seating arrangement was planned — the chairs were placed very close, making it feel very cramped and uncomfortable to sit.

The store operates on a self-service basis, meaning you take the call to get your food, pick up your utensils, and clean up after yourself. It's possible that the sticky tables were because the previous user didn't clean up well, and the staff didn't have time to clean up either.

But at that time, there were only three customers in the store (including me). The store wasn't busy, and the staff were chatting after serving the customers' meals. I initially thought, "Don't mind too much; since there are few customers, the staff can relax a bit and clean up regularly." Until I received my meal and saw the tray.

It was hard to capture it in photos, but you could see the reflection showing stains on the edge of the tray. Even the plate wasn't clean… 🤢

The food was mediocre, but with such hygiene conditions, I really wouldn’t want to visit again. Although the store looks bright, making one feel safe late at night, with this hygiene… I might choose a 24-hour convenience store instead!

Turnip Cake (2 pieces) $47 The sauce is self-serve, so you add it yourself. When you receive it, it's just the pan-fried turnip cake. It's not too oily, but quite average, and it's not particularly memorable after eating.

Cheese egg pancake $40 You add the sauce yourself. A bit disappointed when I got it, because it looked like there was very little. I wonder how they cook it on the grill? I think the egg pancake is greasier than the radish cake.

The filling part: A thin layer of egg and a bit of cheese. It's a very standard cheese egg pancake, but just an ordinary one.

Unsweetened Soy Milk $30 Has a bit of a burnt taste, a slightly rich soy milk. Of the three items, this is the one I am more satisfied with, but those who don't like a burnt taste might find it not okay, as every sip has a burnt taste.

The total for three items is $117.

The counter's cooking space and area, taken just when the staff were not around.

The area with tables and chairs next to it is also a section where I sat after changing seats. It seems spacious, but the table is actually not big, so after sitting down, you are quite close to your neighbors on both sides.

If there are any drinks, the drinks are also self-serve. At first, I was very resistant to that floor in front... But since I already ordered, it's not just this spot that's sticky; nearly the entire store is sticky.
