| - I have a fear of chained restaurants, and if don't have go, I won't.
I finally gave in to my friend Tia, and decided to give this place a chance. Having been to one other Spring Rolls location in the past, my findings were; the place can cook just about anything to a tolerable degree, except for spring rolls.
The most casual Chinese appetizer, and some guy decides to open up a business based on its popularity. The idea is interesting, but whoever these chefs are in the kitchen, clearly has never been to China and had a real Spring Roll. It's like someone going to China, and open a Pizza Hut as an high-end restaurant. Oh wait, that happened. (In China, Pizza is served on fine china, in an upscale establishment, and enjoyed using a knife & fork)
The food is alright, just the spring rolls..they are deplorable. I make on an average 200 spring rolls every holiday season, my standards are high. With that said, the restaurant itself isn't that bad. The service is slow, regardless of the restaurant's occupancy. At least the table wasn't wobbly. There's a takeaway window, a casual lunching area for groups of four or less, and a dinning area that is quite good.
I see myself coming back here, for casual lunch in the dinning area, sitting by the window and watch people walk on Yonge.
In conclusion, I'm Chinese, if you're charging me ten bucks for six spring rolls cut in half, they better come with room service, and promise to 'love me long time.'
