this restaurant was originally near midland and finch and was famous for good food at low prices. they have now moved up north and the quality of the food actually got better. unfortunately, prices have also gone up north as well.
what stood out in tonight's dinner was the "ice bath sweet and sour pork". with me, I usually dig in right away as soon as the dish touches the table. with this particular dish, you actually have to wait about 5 minutes to fully appreciate the dish. the waiter/waitress should have mentioned that to us. it is basically your regular sweet and sour pork dish that is placed in a big cup covered with ice. by letting it sit there for about 5 minutes, it will crisp up the skin even more. the pork was actually pretty good already when it first came out but, 5 minutes into it, the pork got even better. this is a pretty good dish.
also have to mention the beef cubes in bird nest dish was done very well. good flavor and a generous portion of beef as well.
all of the dishes we ordered tonight was very well prepared. no complaints at all. keep in mind, this is only the second week it has opened, portions and quality maybe different a couple of month down the road.
will I come back... yes. this is by far the best chinese restaurant north of major MacKenzie. my rating might change when I come back next time.
