Depending on how fast your rice cooker is this could be done within 20 mins. The actual preparing/cooking part is like, 10 mins LOL.
Just had it for lunch and could feel my arteries clogging  |
You can't really compare home cooking with restaurant though. Ours is prepared with our house blend sweet sauce and wasabi diced chives wrapped with nori - ready to pop in you mouth.
I don't think I can eat an entire meal only based on liver and rice. It's more of a side snack while eating other food.

If the server doesn't know about it, then you ask her to call over the ultra-hot-sexy-boss-man

omg I remember Hon Lok Yuen very clearly right down to the TVB rental shop by the front washrooms lol ... shows my age
You are all correct the service was beyond bad, but I was a young teenager so I would spend quite some late night hours there drinking unlimited refills of HK milk tea while watching Young & Dangerous re-runs on TV and smoking inside until 5am
I have only been back to that building once for dim sum and did not like it, don't remember which incarnation since as ZN6 mentioned the place has changed over a dozen times since.

Got as close to an in-n-out order as I could, double double "Cali style" with Cali style fries
Burger was tasty, it definitely wasn't as good as innout but still very fresh, all ingredients and the bun were fresh and tasty
The Cali/animal style fries were salty as fuck and that's kinda saying somthing as opposed to innouts animal style, but either the cheese or the sauce was far saltier than the animal style. Fries deinately weren't as good and they were more like the fries at five guys than innout
Overall I enjoyed it, a little expensive ($16.50 for what I got there) might go again if I was in the area and wasn't going to go to a restaurant but other than that, probably more of a one time thing for me
6.75/10

I worked in LA for almost a year and had In'n Out a plenty. Cali Burger is nowhere near the freshness or quality. It basically is a China version knockoff of the real deal except you are paying even more than for the original.
Lined up 25min, ordered the same as Hondaracer, my combo took another 45min.
By the time I dug into it, nothing was hot. My burger was lukewarm. My fries were a soggy mess and below room temperature.
