I had dinner here with my dad recently. The food was ok.
We had the Cantonese Chow Mein ($8), the General Tao Chicken ($6.95) and an order of steamed rice ($1.50).
Now I don't like salty foods and my usual complaint is that food is too salty, but even I thought that the Cantonese Chow Mein could have used some more salt. It was so incredibly bland. I honestly think the chef forgot to add the salt. Other than the blandness though, it wasn't bad. It was full of toppings. It had lots of baby bok choy, chicken, BBQ pork, squid and canned mushrooms. It also had 2 shiitake mushrooms and 3 shrimps. The noodles were crispy and the gravy was a good consistency (not too gelatinous like it is at some places). The toppings tasted fresh and would have been excellent if the dish wasn't so bland.
The General Tao Chicken was good. It came with green peppers and onions. The sauce was sweet and tangy and didn't have a strong Hoisin sauce taste like some General Tao Chicken does (which I don't like). It wasn't as crispy as I like though and it wasn't all that hot (temperature). I like steam coming out of my food! It wasn't all that spicy hot either.
The steamed rice was good. It wasn't mushy or dry.
Service was excellent. The servers were nice and attentive.
This place is great for a cheap meal. Prices are lower than food court prices and quality is much better than food court quality. Decor is typical mid-range Chinese restaurant decor with plastic table cloths that are piled on top of each other and they remove the top one after each customer. Lots of red and pictures of dragons and the "double happiness" Chinese character abound.
This place is hidden away in a basement. It's next to the Starbucks that's at the corner of Dundas and Elizabeth Street, near the bus station. There's no parking lot, so street parking only.
