| - Living in the area for 13 years now and never tried this resto until last night (not sure how long it's been around).
This is a no-frills good ol' Cantonese style restaurant - my kind of restaurant. No coloured table cloths, no gold embossed dishes, no trendy styled uniforms with little bows on the waiters & waitresses, no outrageous set menu prices - just good food, decent prices and friendly staff.
Our family of 7 went on a Sunday night at 6:30pm and the restaurant was about 3/4 full but we were seated promptly without a reservation - by the time we left around 7:45 there were a few families waiting. The restaurant has a traditional Cantonese menu as well as a "Make Your Own Set Menu". They also have seafood & house specials that they advertise on a white board on the wall. This evening we opted to choose from the build your set menu - the menu has about 2 dozen dishes with lots of variety: chicken, beef, pork, veggies - something for everyone. We chose Sweet & Sour Pork - the pork had an excellent batter which tasted a little like the KFC chicken & along with the usual pineapples & peppers it also had pickled garlic which I've never had in this dish before; Eight Treasure Tofu Stir Fry - the eight treasures include chicken & beef slices, squid, BBQ pork slices, some veggies & of course tofu; and Sweet & Sour Battered Fish - this one just on the "meh" side. The 3 choices were $27 which is a pretty good deal in this area. We also added a Shrimp & Scallop Stir Fry With Veggies & Prince Mushroom ($22). With rice, the total including tax & tip came to $70.
This restaurant also offers complimentary soup and a choice of complimentary Chinese dessert.
