Great chinese food (variety, fresh, generous portion, quality, nice cooking). Good price. Their crab maw soup, house specialty fried rice, shrimp in lobster sauce, Sechuan beef tasted pretty good.(edit 2026: food preparation is inconsistent, looks like it depends on which chef is on duty)
I was initially apprehensive after reading some negative reviews. However, I decided to give it a try, & I'm so glad I did!
What truly impressed me was the speed at which they prepared the food without sacrificing quality. The first time, I got a hot & sour soup only. A single large portion is more than enough to serve three people. On my first visit, I requested it to be spicy, but I found it to be milder than expected. Undeterred, I returned another time & asked for it to be'very, very spicy,' & that's when I finally hit the mark. It seems they cater to a large customer base that don't eat spicy.
I've only opted for take-out, & each time, the quality has been consistently high-fresh, hot, & ready in no time. My only minor complaint would be the person who answers the phone. Their English can be a bit difficult to understand, which can lead to some confusion when placing an order.
Update: the service has improved, the waitress is a lot more friendly! I went for dinner, & although the food is alright, the service leaves a little something to be desired. There was what appeared to be a large takeout order before our table & as a result we got our food a lot later than usual. Furthermore, getting one of the waitresses' attention is difficult even though there were only two tables of people in the entire restaurant. In addition, I always get the distinct impression that the waitress is impatient with us when ordering & she has in fact snapped at us in the past (yelling at the entire table once). Usually, the fried food (like the sweet & sour pork) is good, but this time it tasted slightly burnt. I think the oil may have been too old, which rendered the meal less enjoyable. For some reason, the restaurant no longer serves soup with the dinner, presumably to cut back on costs which is a also bit disappointing. Overall, it's not bad, standard food, but the service could be improved. Quite frankly, all the staff is really kind & attentive except for that one waitress, which is a shame because it brings down the quality of the restaurant.
I can't say it enough. I love this place. The food quality is amazing. Never dissapoints. I get delivery or pickup, never had the opportunity to eat there. It's always busy when I pickup orders & the service is fast.
Hidden gem dim sum restaurant at the marché central, I often go there during the week for lunch. Everything is prepared as you order & arrives at your table very hot. You can taste that they use fresh & quality ingredients. Prices are very affordable compared to other places.
