| - Before you read this review, I am Korean and my companion is Chinese, and we both have been to many, many Chinese restaurants in Toronto, Markham, Richmond Hill and North York. Compared to those Chinese restaurants, this was quite a disappointment. The only reason we tried the food here is because we live at Yonge and Eglinton. The conclusion we have is there are NO good chinese restaurants around here.
On a Saturday night, we decided to get Chinese take-out and watch some basketball on TV at our place. We ordered House steamed pork dumplings and Ma-Po Tofu with Minced Chicken. Please note that we did not taste our order immediately after being cooked, so perhaps that is the reason for how it tasted, but then again, I don't really think so. First of all, the pork dumplings had some mightly thick wrappers and the filling wasn't that tasty, compared to other dumplings I've tasted at other Chinese restaurants. They did not provide enough sauce. The Ma-Po tofu is a favourite of mine and this wasn't a bad rendition but they did not provide any rice. I don't know how it is at "White-people style" Chinese restaurants, but anytime you order Ma-Po tofu at other Chinese restaurants, they always provide rice. What else soaks up all the sauce? It tasted okay, the sauce was well seasoned but they did not give enough. The tofu was cooked nicely and the chicken was a bit dry.
Given the price and SMALL portions, this restaurant does not stand up against any other Chinese restaurants in the GTA area. If you are in desperate need of okay Chinese food, you can come here. Also I wanted to mention, on a Saturday night, this place was completely empty while surrounding restaurants were filled.
