  • I blame this place for starting the onslaught of mediocre lobster theme Chinese eateries in the GTA. Countless other imitators have appeared (mostly within 3 kms of this place) since I've last visited this place. I am not really going to go into too much detail about the atmosphere, service...blah blah blah. It is what it is and it's just like any other Chinese restaurant. Service like the tables are just as spotty as the washrooms in terms of cleanliness. So that about sums up that part. Price wise, I really have no complaints. You know what you are getting in to when you've summoned the courage to consume an 8lb lobster. Food wise, you can't really go wrong with fresh seafood and indeed it is fresh. However, I think the lobsters have been hanging out in the deep fryer a little longer than their shift. The meat is noticeably firmer, dryer and slightly more chewier than most I've had. BTW, if you don't know yet...most Chinese restaurant use a fast-fry method to pre-cook most of the meats, seafood and sometimes veggies before stir-frying it. It saves time, energy and helps prevent the product from bleeding too much water so it remains crispy and colourful. Anyhow, I don't want to get all Yan-can-cook on you. Furthermore, the lobsters are buried in so much garlic that it resembles a replica of the Gobi dessert. I am a huge garlic lover but even I was a bit overwhelmed and it really masks that salty, seaweed, sea water taste found in food from the sea. And therein lies the problem with this place as well as all others alike. Seafood should not be fried and overdressed unless it's fish and chips. If you must, then get it steamed or in the tradition ginger garlic sauce (still fried but minus all the garlic). Anyhow, they have managed to take a beautiful and delicate morsel from the sea and turned it into a garlic laced, deep fried lobster...sans the flavours. This stuff sure looks impressive but appearances can be deceiving.
