| - Great food, great price, mediocre standard Chinese restaurant service.
The lobster congee combo special is pretty good. For about $19 you get 1 lb. lobster congee, a choice of rice roll, and Chinese deep fried doughnut. The rice roll is made fresh to order.
The Roasted Pork is soooo goooood. Crispy skin and lotsa meat.
I also really like the Steamed Oyster with two choices: Garlic sauce or Black-bean sauce. I like both, but Garlic's better. Just make sure you got some super-minty gum for afterwards.
Deep fried spicy squid is a bit bland, but it's okay. General Tao chicken's pretty standard, but slightly better than some. I just order them because these are the standard stuff my boyfriend eats at every Chinese rest.
The washroom's decent. Cleaner than most Chinese restaurants' toilets.
Most servers are quite alright, except for this 1 lady with short hair. She fulfills every typical Chinese restaurant server stereotype. So grumpy and almost throws/slams bowls, spoons, etc. onto your table. Don't take it personally. It's Chinatown, whaddya expect? oh, and I don't speak Chinese, so it gets confusing sometimes. Best is to order and point the number on the menu, rather than just saying it out loud, but i'm sure if you speak Chinese, it'll help.
They're pretty efficient though. The crowd's pretty mixed, not just Asians.
To finish off my meal, i like to order the Red Bean Punch with Coconut Milk. Yum :)
Dinner for 2 for me costs about $30-$50 after tax depending on our level of hunger. We can eat a lot.
