| - Damn girl! You fancy!
My family came for a birthday dinner for my bro. After braving the nightmarish parking lot (kind of small considering all the restaurants in the place) I was greeted by a sign on the door that said "fully booked, please reserve ahead next time" or something. My brother and I had a chuckle about that. Seriously, when is a Chinese restaurant ever FULLY BOOKED?! The servers all had these LED flashing nametags that were pretty cheesy, and the decor was classic Chinese Restaurant: peach wallpaper and recessed coloured fluorescent strips in the ceiling.
When the food came, I was pleasantly surprised. Then more came and I was in heaven. Basically, every dish tasted really really good. My bro is a fried rice snob, and he stated the that fried rice was top notch. I really enjoyed the deep fried fish in corn sauce.. still crispy under the sauce. Their deep fried pork chop also managed to be tender and not greasy at all. The peking duck with flour and lettuce wraps were also really great. Service was good and the food came out quickly. We had a ton of other dishes that I can't name/remember at the moment. There was a LOT of food. For dessert, they had three kinds at our table: my favourite sweet tofu soup thing, a sweet sesame soup thing and the dreaded red bean soup. Two out of three ain't bad.
All in all, it was a little less than $20 per person including tax and tip which is considered expensive for my family, but I think it's a steal. We had tons of leftovers to take home.
I will definitely be back for dinner with friends. I'm already planning on coming back here for my birthday. Next time, we're totally going to try their seafood.
If you'd like to go for dinner, make sure to reserve about a week ahead.
