August 2026: For a second time, we tried this restaurant after a long day at the Zoo. Seemed easy since we were staying at the attached hotel. The decor was dated with peeling tables & plastic greenery hanging from the ceilings. We both had the Beef & Broccoli meal. The first course was a Won Ton soup. It was bland but the carrots & green onions were still crunchy. Adding soya sauce did little to enhance the flavour but it was palatable. This was followed up with two tiny & skinny spring rolls & a dipping sauce trying to pretend it was plum sauce. It was lemony, a bit plum & some other flavour I couldn't put my finger on. The couple seated nearby made the same negative face when they tried it. The beef dish comes with chicken fried rice which was pasty & sticky & probably reheated one too many times. It was not as it should have been. Despite adding soya sauce, it was unpleasant. The beef was chewy & lacked flavour, the broccoli was a bit undercooked (way too much crunch!) & the carrots were ok. The meal included dessert which was a tiny sad little square of what looked like chocolate cake but it was a flavour that we couldn't decipher & the texture was again unpleasant. The plate included a fortune cookie & a Chinese tea - best part of the whole meal. Each meal was $24.00 plus taxes. With all the restaurants nearby, that $48.00 could have been better spent elsewhere.
As we were staying at the Hotel Principal & this restaurant is part of it, we decided to leave the car parked & have Chinese food for dinner. We ordered selection #5 for two people. It came with 4 small spring rolls, fried wonton, breaded chicken with lemon sauce, battered shrimp, General Tao chicken, wonton soup, mixed vegetables. There was plenty for two people & thankfully our room has a fridge & a microwave so we could enjoy the leftovers the next day. The food was your typical Chinese food taste. The General Tao chicken was not spicy as I'm accustomed to. The spring rolls had a ginger plum sauce. The shrimp came with a somewhat Thai sauce. The chicken for the lemon chicken seemed to be two breasts battered & cut into manageable pieces. It's what I call'safe' food to simply enjoy & fill the tummies. The cost before taxes for the meal for two was $40.00 so quite economical. We only had water so no further to add to the tab. Food was quickly served & service was attentive. It's a homey decor place with tables & booths. For the price & selection of food, it's good as a meal.

Je suis déçue de ma commande pour emporter le 2 novembre a 18h30. La soupe goûtait le clou de girofle +++ les egg roll cuit 2 fois le goût bizarre les crevette panée 3 fois je cherchais la crevette a travers la pannure je suis vraiment déçu pour une facture de 100$ de bouffe. D'habitude c'est bon mais la en plus les dumpplig goûtaient comme la soupe Wong ton.

Take out was simply not good
General Tao chicken like inedible rubber
Undercooked vegetables. Ribs to hard to chew. Soggy tasteless bean sprouts & veg. The only thing that was edible for me were the egg-rolls. The young guy at the cash was so nice.
C'est extrêmement rare que je donne une mauvaise note, mais je vais m'expliquer. Premièrement, j'ai mangé dans ce restaurant avec ma famille, & j'ai également commandé à un autre moment sur DoorDash. Malheureusement, c'était la même expérience, ce qui confirme mon avis. De l'extérieur, le nom est attirant - qui n'aime pas le Général Tao ? - & le restaurant est mignon. Le menu est dans le haut des prix mais il y a beaucoup de choix. Le service est rapide sans plus. Il n'y avait aucune musique dans le restaurant, ce qui créait un silence inconfortable, mais bon, c'est un détail. Le problème se situe au niveau de la nourriture. Nous avons commandé une grande table mixte, donc plusieurs plats. La soupe won-ton était bonne mais manquait un peu de saveur, facile à corriger. Les egg rolls, rouleaux impériaux & dumplings frits étaient bons. Ensuite, les plats principaux sont arrivés. Malheureusement, deux des trois plats manquaient de saveur... pas mauvais, mais sans goût. Le vrai problème, c'est le Général Tao, le plat dont le restaurant porte le nom. Cela fait deux fois que je le goûte, & les deux fois, il était vraiment, vraiment mauvais. Presque que de la panure, aucune viande, goût de vieille huile, & la sauce n'est pas bonne du tout... Nous avons informé le serveur, qui a dit que c'était une mauvaise batch, mais rappelez-vous que j'ai goûté à ce plat à deux semaines d'intervalle, & les deux fois, ce n'était pas bon. Voilà. Je pense que le concept est bon, l'ambiance peut facilement être améliorée, le service peut être plus attentif, mais ils doivent absolument revoir leurs recettes & ajouter des saveurs authentiques & typiques de cette cuisine. Si c'est fait, ils peuvent avoir un beau succès!
