| - If this place was easy to miss before, it's essentially invisible now that the awnings are gone and the adjacent businesses are boarded up. That's a shame, since this is great, unassuming little shop, serving up good sized portions of authentic Chinese food at a good price. The menu is not huge, but covers all your classics without being inflated by North American inventions like chop suey.
BBQ is definitely a strong suit here, with crispy duck and ribs available in various combinations. The three course Peking duck is good deal at about $25 taxes in and handily feeds two people between the plentiful classic wrappers with hoisin+green onion+cucumber, a cabbage+mushroom+ginger duck broth soup, and a tasty duck fried rice. Personally, I enjoy jazzing up the hoisin with the table condiments like red vinegar and chili oil. Tea is of course brought by default.
While it would be generous to describe the decor as minimal, the service was great. We were asked on several occasions if everything was alright as each dish came out, and it didn't sound like a platitude. When the food was a bit delayed, they gave us complimentary ribs (five spice BBQ), and the tea pot was never empty for long.
Gee Gong: for those who want flavour, value, and service rather than pretensions.
