Read the positive reviews & visited for dinner. Came away underwhelmed. Nothing particularly bad, but nothing great either. Everything we ordered was flat-line on taste & flavor. Despite the forbidding, poorly kept exterior & stair landing, the interior dining area was clean. Food consisted of Vegetarian Spring Rolls (two absolutely tiny fried rolls with a flavorless yellow dipping sauce), Cumin Beef (perhaps the star of the show, relatively tender, with specks of dried chili - not at all spicy), Sweet & Spicy Eggplant (again, okay but lacked spiciness/heat & flavor), & rice, all washed down with marginally cold Tsing Tao beer. Portions were generous, service was hurried/at rapid pace for some reason, but lacked follow-up once the dishes arrived!
The meal for two set us back CAD 58+ with hefty taxes & generous tips. Not a bad place by any means, but what we had was nothing spectacular!
Very friendly service - the waitress gave us a warm welcome. The dishes were cooked well, but my family felt every dish was just a tad too salty. We ordered the string beans, the stir fried udon, the pork belly, & a tofu dish. All dishes were cooked skillfully & the quality of ingredients was excellent - given that, if they can dial in the salt level it'll truly be a five star experience. We are a Chinese family.
We had the spicy fish , Yangzhou fried rice & sautee vegetables. The fish was good & so were the sauté fresh vegetables. Portions are large so be careful when you order . The fried rice was delicious
Ordered through DoorDash for the first time yesterday & was really impressed with the quality!
I don't usually go for veggie dishes, but they absolutely nailed every single one-especially the eggplant with potatoes, which became an instant favorite.
One note: I was hoping to try the fried pork after seeing so many great reviews, but it wasn't available on the delivery app. Not sure if that's intentional or just temporary, but since I rarely get to go downtown, I'd love to see it added to the delivery menu sometime soon!
Do yourself a favor & come here to eat anytime you have a chance! This place is absolutely amazing, has super delicious food & it's sooo cheap, the price is literally unbeatable! The portions are big & filling, delicious, & you can take it home if you accidentally ordered too much! The fried Cantonese noodles are amazing, as well as the pork belly.
Food, service, & atmosphere were 5 stars. Got the beef & broccoli + pork & shrimp fried rice, both were great, but the beef & broccoli exceeded all expectations. Prices were very good as well
Very good food in town, very reasonable price considering the downtown location. liked dry fried greenbeans, sweet & spicy eggplant, & broccoli with beef very much, not so much on the cumin beef & noodle salad though.
