| - Go to Maple Yip to eat and get out. This tiny restaurnt is nothing to look at and has zero ambiance. However, the place seems relatively clean, the food good, the price excellent, service swift (not rude). But don't dawdle! Make your selections quickly, the food will come in 5 minutes, and you should expect to be out the door no matter what you order within 45mins-1 hour. Dishes are medium sized portions, but because of the low price, you can afford to select a few more dishes. Steamed, braised, stir fried, all good. Deep fried stuff so-so - seafood birds nest basket did not appear fresh - a little bit chewy, not so crisp and a little old oil taste. The seafood in it was great - scallops with mix of broccoli, snow peas etc. Sweet and sour pork a bit fatty, but ok. They do a good roast BBQ chicken. Bitter melon with beef also good. Good green beans, good single oysters wtih black bean sauce, lobster with vermicelli dish that comes with set dinner for 4 was a bit teensy and missing a claw, so not recommended as an option. A good place to go with family and casual dining. Make reservations or plan to eat an early dinner, like 5:30pm if you want to try walking in. This place is popular (at least right now).
