| - I found Chinese food in Richmond Hill to be hit and miss. Sometimes its great other times its not even close to authentic. This place is closer to the authentic Chinese style of food. Walking in it reminds me of when I visited Hong Kong, although this is not a Cantonese style restaurant, with murals of rice patties and fishing boats on the wall. The decor is what you expect from a casual Chinese restaurant. Nothing special, lots of big round tables, a few booths, dark brown wood, and quick service.
The service was very fast although they had trouble speaking English. It wasn't rude because you can't fault them for not knowing a language so we communicated through pointing at the menu and hand signals. The food came very fast and was fresh. Fried noodles were crispy, sweet and sour pork crunchy, General Tao chicken was spicy, and the green beans were delicious. The food was a bit oily though but nothing too crazy as to where I was unable to eat or it turned me off.
Overall, this is a good restaurant and probably one of the better Chinese fair in Richmond Hill. Prices are decent, food is fast, service is quick, and generally flavorful. If you can trek to the city for good Chinese then go trek but for something in these area its perfect.
