    Visited twice in a month. Would definitely come back again for the great variety of high-quality authentic Hongkong-style food. Recommendations: milk tea, chicken drumsticks, chilli fish balls, curry beef briskets No waiting on weekdays. Queued up for 20 minutes on a bank holiday.

    Location: Easy to find on the High Street, lots of 1 hr parking just outside the cafe. Food: I ordered the Hong Kong Style Noodles and it was very very good. The Hong Kong Style Milk Tea was good too, very rich in favour. Service: Eric and his team / family are very nice. Service is second to none. Conclusion: I have already shared among a few friends and this cafe is highly recommended. Look forward to my next visit.

    My daughter and I visit here every Saturday, so she really looks forward to Saturdays when we go to 'The Sun Cafe.' However, last Saturday, she couldn't go because she was sick. After she got better, she said she wants to have some warm soup and meat from here. We are Korean, and we love Hong Kong. We didn't expect to be able to taste Hong Kong food so close to home in the UK. It's such a lucky cafe. We definitely want to go this week and enjoy some delicious food. The taste and the service are excellent at this cafe!
