Really enjoyed the Hong Kong cuisine at Mom Kitchen in Clairemont! We ordered the BBQ combination rice (pork and duck), Hainanese chicken, cola pork rib and Ovaltine milk lava toast. Everything was really good, especially the duck and lava toast. Pretty decor and great vibe. Friendly and attentive service. On a Friday night it can be pretty busy so may be a short wait. Recommend!

Very disappointing dining experience. First, it seems like this restaurant is partly self-service. We had to get our own plates, spoons, and forks. Looking back, I regret leaving a tip since there was very little actual service. Second, the food came out extremely slowly even though the restaurant wasn’t even full. We ordered plain white rice, and it didn’t arrive until we asked for it about half an hour later. Third, we were told the roast duck was sold out. After we ordered BBQ, they came back and said that was also sold out and suggested replacing it with Hainan chicken. The Hainan chicken didn’t come out until almost the end of the meal, when everyone was already full. Since it’s a cold dish, I really don’t understand why it took almost an hour to bring it out. To make things even more confusing, when we were almost finished eating, the table next to us was served a roast duck dish even though we had been told it was sold out. Throughout the entire meal, the staff barely interacted with us. The only communication was at the beginning when a woman asked how many people were in our party, and later when a man told us the BBQ was unavailable and suggested the Hainan chicken.

This particular location offers a more spacious and refined environment compared to the Mira Mesa branch. We sampled several selections from the menu. The siomai was presented elegantly in a traditional dim sum steamer, arriving hot and flavorful. The shrimp fried rice was particularly satisfying, featuring a distinct smoky wok flavor in every mouthful. The green beans with garlic also proved to be quite palatable, characterized by a light, silky texture and an umami finish. I also appreciated the hot Hong Kong-style tea, which was served with condensed milk on the side. However, the black pepper sirloin was a notable disappointment. It was prepared with an excessive amount of oil, and the beef itself lacked flavor, possessing an unpleasantly soft, almost processed texture. This suggests the potential use of an excessive quantity of tenderizing agents such as baking soda. The bell peppers, however, were enjoyable. I would likely not order this dish again. I would definitely go back again and try few more things in the future

We were excited to try out this very new location and weren't disappointed! Everything we tried was hot and fresh, with the hainanese chicken and Hong Kong milk tea being standouts. Service was quick and polite, and while it just opened, the ambiance is already so polished and homey. We enjoyed our meal and look forward to being back! This parking lot can be a little crowded sometimes due to multiple restaurants being there, so it may be difficult at busy times.
