Small place with charm, we arrived with several menu options listed online, in mind. However, there were several meals that they no longer served. (I was saddened upon this news when I found out the spicy roasted beet salad was one of them) We ordered the spicy beef salad. The dressing is rich with spice and flavor, and the steak is tender and delicious! The Thai pork ribs were sticky and sweet with incredible mashed potatoes! They should sell them in bucket sizes to go! We also ordered the Hong Kong burger, and the quail fried egg (wrapped in wonton) was amazing! The flavors are very present, the plating is pretty and the service was sweet! I am not sure if the plastic forks and knives are fitting to the beautiful plating, but that's the only downside I experienced. Overall, I will be eating here again, and I would HIGHLY recommend this place for experienced palettes!

Love the variety that's served here very much! Chicken rice soup 10/10 (Natural ingredients ) Grilled cheese (perfectly crispy!) 10/10 Duck Curry 7/10 (mine might have been overcooked? Otherwise the curry itself was phenomenal! Just wish a little more was added for the 23 cost like it usually is at other places) Coleslaw 2/10 (I think mine was old and really vinegary?) Chicken egg rolls (yum!!)11/10 Service 100/10 The gentleman that served me was an angel Overall really glad I checked this place out. It's nice and cozilly tucked away.

First time here and all I could say after was WOW! Save room for the dessert too, so tasty! My husband called me from work after we dropped off his food and told me how delicious his spicy pork and rice was, he was expecting a plate of pulled pork and was surprised by the ribs. We will definitely be back!

I had already eaten before going to Chef Ae’s, so I was just getting coffee & dessert. Both were excellent. I’ll be back for sure to try the full menu. The iced Cuban coffee was sweet and flavorful. The strawberry red velvet cake was luscious and the strawberries were crisp and fresh.
