The quality of the pork knuckle bento from Hu Xu Zhang is stable, and the taste reaches a good to above-average level. Although it's not top-notch in flavor, it is very convenient.
The store has many families as customers, and during the New Year period, the opening hours are extended to accommodate families that do not cook.
The food is served quickly, suitable for takeout. Although there are some small limitations with delivery, overall it is convenient.

▪️Pork Knuckle Bento $145
Ever since I tried their pork knuckle on one occasion, I've really liked it and almost always order it. Although it's not absolutely amazing, I think it’s above average quality, and the taste is consistent every time. Unfortunately, the rice itself doesn’t come with braised pork sauce, but I believe it can be customized for takeout at the restaurant (not available for delivery).
This time I happened to need it for a prayer ceremony, so I went for takeout before the restaurant closed on New Year's Eve. There were quite a few people dining in (family customers) so for those who don't cook at home, the business hours during the New Year period are pretty long, which is great.
Overall, it's a taste that I occasionally crave, and it's convenient to get pork knuckle from them. I also tried the chicken rice before, and it was pretty good too.
