| - This place is no frills, greasy, westernized Chinese food, perfect for late night cravings.
The restaurant is pretty worn down, it can definitely use a makeover. It looks like it's been the same for 30 years which can be a good thing or a bad thing I suppose.
We ordered for takeout and the service was quite curt but quick. The people in front of us ordering wanted to substitute noodles for their rice and it's a $2 charge but she forgot to charge the customer and then demanded he pay the extra in cash. I thought out of courtesy she would just let it go but that wasn't the case. We placed our order, two meals, one with sweet and sour pork, fried rice and beef with broccoli and the second with lemon chicken, fried rice and chicken chop suet. Our total was under $20 which I think is good for the location.
On our way out the lady taking orders was really thankful and wished us a good night which was certainly nicer than when we walked in.
There was about 3lbs of food in our two containers, a huge portion of rice and chicken chop suey and the meat was generously sized as well. The food was all piping hot and had good flavour, standard to other similar Chinese restaurants, nothing mind blowing or different, but still good! Our favourite part was probably the egg rolls that came with our meal, the wrapper was crunchy and fried perfectly.
Overall I'd definitely come back when I'm in the mood for greasy Chinese food. Certainly not gourmet by any means but cheap, cheerful and enough grease to pad your stomach after a night of drinking!
