A lot of people are raving about this restaurant. The decor is nice and clean, modern and comfy, and the service is fast and friendly. But the food - didn't amaze me. It wasn't bad - at all but it wasn't amazing. It was just decent. We came as a group of four and were immediately seated. We ordered:
Canton Chow Mein ($9.00) - it was drier and a bit overcooked than we expected. We like crunchy chow mein but this was too much. As for flavour - average. But we've had better.
Deep fried squid ($8.50) - it was yummy though we expected more of a crispy texture rather than a soft sort of spongy one.
Shrimp Fried Rice ($6.75) - was pretty delicious. Everyone enjoyed it. Good fried rice. Wouls recommend it.
Manchurian Fish ($8.50) - this was my favourite dish though for others, it was too spicy. It was my first time trying it and I loved it. Full of flavour with a great spicy sauce. The fish is soft too and goes well with the fried rice. I recommend this dish - but beware the spice. Some will find it a bit much but it was great for me.
Overall, it was an average experience. The neighbourhood loves the place - whenever I pass by, there's always a good crowd. I've heard that the Scarborough location is better so I might just give that a try soon!
