  • Underwhelming. That's not entirely true since to be underwhelmed implies I had high expectations going in that were let down. No, this place lived down to my expectations. After reading other reviews and looking at the menu for myself we ventured to chinatown and found R&D empty on a tuesday evening at appx 630pm (this just after we departed wvrst at 615pm where it was packed w/ a great vibe...this was obvious sign number one). We had a large party of 10 people w/ reservations in place from about two weeks prior. We did everything family style which made for a wonderful opportunity to try the whole menu except the peking duck (although give me a break, go to any other chinatown spot or north york joint and the duck will be less than half the price and taste just as good if not better and also served two or three ways..$65+?!, crazy). We had all the expected dishes you can imagine from the CSB to the curry, lobster chow mein, chicken/waffles, ribs, ceviche, etc. One recurring theme was the tremendous amount of deep frying and sugar on everything. Even the ribs were fried and had a strange non-asian glaze on them. One of the beauties of asian cuise is its simplicity in ingredients and focus on quality. not here. ribs were like eating honey coated jerky, not appetizing. the chicken and waffles....chicken did have a nice batter that was crispy yet fluffy however no flavor stood out. waffles might have been the best thing because at least there you expect a fair amount of sweetness in the dish. small portion size. extremely overpriced for what you get in terms of not just portions but moreover quality. quite poor. i might reconsider this as a bar/small bites place only but never again for a sit down meal. far superior asian fare is right outside the corner, every other corner. avoid.
