I came here probably a few weeks back after my friend recommended it and said it had the "best Chinese food." Being of Chinese background myself and never hearing of this place, I decided to give this place a shot.
Its not on Dundas but on the side and not eating in this area often, I was skeptical at first. The decor leading to the restaurant looked old but as soon as turned in, I was shocked at how new and modern the place looked.
It took us a while to order food but the waiter was patient with us and was very knowledgeable about the dishes. For example, I ordered a fried noodle dish and he came back to let us know that it is cooked with a lot of garlic. My friend and I didn't mind and were up to try the best Hakka dishes (this restaurant served Hakka-Chinese food). My friend ordered a tofu dish.
Our dishes came pretty quick. They were flavourful and portions were great.
Service WHILE dining wasn't as good. It took them a while to bring back more tea and water (and especially when you're eating Chinese food downtown, I DEFINITELY need the water ASAP #MSG). The ventilation didn't seem too good.
We ended up packing the leftovers to go. For a price of around $10-$13 each, it wasn't too bad. However, I do feel bad that I forgot to tip a reasonable amount.... (post exam and forgetting math already).
It was around 5pm on a Wednesday and I was surprised at the number of people walking in. It was fairly busy and when we left, it was just getting busier.
Also uploaded this on my Snapstory and was getting a lot of comments about how good it looked lol. ;) Maybe that'll give you gives motivation to try this place.
