When I got in and sat down, I actually felt as if I went back to Southern China eating at an old-school restaurant. The place was full but not line-up full even on a Holiday.
We got there early waiting for a couple friends which is normal. The waitress looked anxious and IMPATIENT for us to make our order which is normal attitude expected elsewhere but not normal in Toronto and nowadays not even acceptable in Southern China.
By the time other friends joined us, we were SWEATING up a storm and notified the staff who seemed to quickly agree and moved on. Super heated that when we finish our meal, going outside to the 25 degree weather outdoors seemed like NORTH POLE.
Another resemblance to Chinese Old-School is that we saw FLIES doing there usual rounds near the windows while the Fruit Flies preferred the Tea Cups.
Last but not least, the Food was amazingly INEXPENSIVE as we ordered from a decent-sized Special Menu with pricing from $5.99 and $6.99 while the regular menu had a bit higher prices but still very reasonable.
Some of the factors definitely make it hard for me to be a REPEAT customer even when the VALUE of the food is so good. I mean it's by no means the only Chinese restaurant in the area.
