The times I've made my way up here, it has usually been for their homey tasting noodle soup bowls. It's almost as comparable to the noodle soup bowls @ Cattle Cafe (right below Deer Garden), however, I find that Deer Garden fills your bowl to the…More »

What a lucky restaurant to have a whole wall of window space but even luckier to hold the award winning beef noodle creations by Chef Hung. So naturally, I had to give this place a try!

Claypot rice is a meal of rice, topped with veggies and your…More »
