| - Came with a group of 20 after a hike that ended at Kennedy Station, and found this place nearby. We got in a little before 2:45 PM, and there were already a few tables occupied, but we managed to get everyone seated. There was only one person working out front, but she let us to move tables around to accommodate the group.
Restaurant is clean and spacious. Washroom is clean. Decor includes large fans hanging on the wall along with some portraits.
Forks and napkins are provided. Spoons, knives, and chopsticks can be requested, though they gave me a pair of disposable chopsticks rather than the re-usable ones.
They have two jars of chili sauce available on the side. You should definitely try them.
The menu is extensive, with a lot of different dishes to choose from.
They also have lunch specials on weekdays from noon to 3 PM, as well as daily specials listed on the wall.
Four of us decided to go with Dinner Combo for 4, which came with
Choice of Spring Rolls or Hot & Sour Soup
Garlic Shrimp
Boneless Chili Chicken
Manchurian Mixed Chow Mein
Beef with Snow Peas
Egg Fried Rice
Ice Cream
Spring rolls came up first. Usually when I get spring rolls, it's usually a small cylindrical roll. However, this one was large and rectangular, with a thin crispy skin and lots of vegetables inside.
The rest of the dishes start coming in shortly. They all came in fairly large plates/bowls, suitable for 4 people. We all had a chance to try a nice portion of each dish. Chili chicken was nice and tender, drenched in flavorful chili sauce. They add spices to each dish, so the flavors were definitely interesting.
One issue is water refills. Because there was only one wait-staff, refills don't come unless you ask yourself. But this is not really a problem if you don't require waiters to check up on you every few minutes to see if you're doing alright.
They don't offer ice cream on the menu, but the set combo comes with two scoops of vanilla ice cream, which is a nice way to finish the meal.
Would recommend this place if you're around Kennedy station and looking for some indian-style hakka chinese food.
