Hmmm.... I'm not really sure why the reviews are so bad. I've eaten here 3 times now (for dinner) and aside from the fact that it can be quite heavy, I quite enjoyed my meals!
I agree that not all the dishes are amazing but maybe we happened to order the right ones and they were all very good! The Peking Duck was crispy and well seasoned, shrimp were big and fresh, we also enjoyed their pork belly and sticky rice which they served with steamed bao for you to make little sandwiches yourself - great flavour!
Service is hit and miss but not terrible either - a few good servers, a very accommodating and attentive floor manager and a few space cadets.
The very traditional Northern Chinese dumplings unfortunately were a let down, but I found that if you stick to the dinner menu, I wasn't disappointed! Give it a try... I think it's more of a 3.5 out of 5 stars but I will give it a 4 just to balance out all the 2s since I genuinely think it's one of the better Northern Chinese restaurants in Mississauga
