We had the Pork and Chicken Pan Fried Potstickers ($3.98/6; $7.29/12), turns out ordering two types counted as 2 orders of the 6, not really a big deal, just throwing it out there. Crispy outside and juicy inside, this was very fresh and just like how I had them as a child. Still mediocre because it was very oily but very nostalgic.

Then we ordered a Two Barbequed Meats Platter ($9.25) with BBQ Duck and BBQ Pork. This was quite delicious, the duck was meaty and the pork was very real (not overly tenderized).

"Honey Moon" Fried Rice ($12.50), so we ordered one. Lots of sauce, both of which were rather bland but had adequate ingredients. Rice was good underneath.
I forgot if we ever got this here as kids, but I really liked

Elephant's favorite, House Special Fried Crispy Egg Noodle ($11.50) had super crispy noodles and lots of ingredients on top. I felt it was very oily but not enough sauce to soften the noodles (I'm not one for crispy noodles).

Finally, a Hong Kong Style Congee Large ($10.20) to finish off our meal. This had the basic ingredients down, such as pig stomach, jellyfish, fried pig skin, and squid. However it was rather sparse and the congee base didn't taste or feel ricey enough (likely thickened with flour).

Walking down memory lane, I grew up with Hons and they have neither deteriorated nor improved. At least it's at an expected level of quality!
