Step up to the Counter

What I tell my friends for the first time they are here is don’t get overwhelmed with the huge selection. Just pick a few items and start eating. Century Cafe will be here next week and the week after so you can try every item that makes your mouth water.

You got to the counter, now is the hard part, with 200 items to look at and smell your mind races through these thoughts: what do you want first? What will you get next? What will you get to take home?

So first, if you want one of the hot foods like beef noodle, rice soup, steamed pork bun, shrimp har gow… just stand in front of the steam case.

For baked buns, as you point to one in the window case… one of the Century Cafe employees will grab it for you with tongs and bag it. You will probably pick a few buns as many are only .70 cents each and the seller will put your selections on a tray for eating in the Cafe or in a nice carry out bag to to go orders.

At any ordering station the attendants can get you hot or cold drinks from the hundreds available.
