I really don't understand the terrible reviews. Being from Markham, I have had my fair share of both Northern and Southern Chinese cuisine. I did not have high expectations for this restaurant, since many west-end Chinese joints have failed to impress me, but I was pleasantly surprised.
The restaurant was clean, open and spacious. I loved the wooden furniture and accents. The service was nothing spectacular, but it wasn't terrible. The waitresses were efficient and we never felt ignored.
Now to the food! Everything we ordered was well-seasoned and delicious!
Peking duck: not too fatty with crispy skin and super super thin wraps.
Pork belly with glutinous rice: the pork was tender and I really enjoyed it together with the steamed buns that these were served with.
Deep fried intestines: crispy and so addictive!
Egg and leek pancake: so simple, yet so delicious. Expected it to be plain but lots of flavour. Stuffed with lots of leek and egg.
Yolk crusted yam fries: not as crispy as expected. But the yolk gave it a nice flavour.
Overall, very good experience. Again, very surprised this place is rated so low. I would definitely come back here.
