| - King Dragon Cuisine restuarant is HARD to find. It is located on the 2nd floor. The non-descriptive entrance is located in the west end of the building. Fortunately, there is a big sign on top of the entrance that tells you there is a restaurant on the 2nd floor. Yet you have to find that hole in the wall, naming the door of the entrance, first to see the sign. Rant done.
Once we overcame the challenge of finding the restaurant, I saw a glamorously decorated interior. The ambiance screams that the restaurant wants customers who vaunt their wealth. There is no grace or taste in the collection of glittering decoration, in my opinion.
Having said all these, why the 4 stars? The food. The quality of the dinner food here is decent. We ordered 3 entrées for dinner. I forgot their names. I recalled that they were well made. well seasoned and well portioned. The ingredients were of reasonable quality. The vegetable was very fresh. The hot pot was piping hot. The food reminded me of the food of some middle-high end restaurants in Hong Kong, but in Toronto it is featured in a restaurant that presents itself as a high end restaurant. The only other Chinese restaurant in the vicinity that boosts similar food quality is Judy Cuisine, with Judy's food slightly more contemporary and better made. The services at King Dragon is better, though.
So yes, I recommend King Dragon for dinner. It is more expensive than average, but the portion makes up for it. The services is good. The ambiance is, well, subject to your personal preference.
