| - Restaurant is owned by last owners of tsui wah on Kennedy, and really I thought they would maintain the cheap, HK fast food style that they've done generally well. However, since they started business at this location and kept the modern decor of Lemongrass, I find that they are trying to awkwardly transition into the "fancier" (relative to HK cafes, so really fancy just means more HK style western food ex. baked rice w/ cheese) route. I missed the breakfast specials, and was too early for the lunch specials so I got a baked pork chop on rice w/ tomato sauce cause there was a picture on the menu, and usually when there's a picture you would think it's something good that they want you to order.
I was completely naive in my way of thinking. The appearance of my dish looked like sweet and sour pork, as it was DROWNING in tomato sauce. Furthermore, it wasn't even baked in the oven, nor was there any cheese which is pretty standard for this kind of dish. My dad tried the HK style curry beef brisket and it was also disappointing as the curry was neither spicy nor flavorful. I would assume however that if you ordered chinese-oriented fast food dishes like chow mein or anything that popular back at Tsui Wah they would probably do a good job at it. Overall, a meh experience, along the lines of a 2.5.
