| - I've walked by this place dozens of times, and was eager to try it. Overall though, I was slightly disappointed.
Food: Actually really flavourful. We ordered beef fried rice, the duck and pork meat dish, and Chinese broccoli. The rice was super tasty, and the broccoli were what you'd expect. As for the meat, the pork was good, and I really liked how the duck tasted, BUT it was really really fat and also annoyingly bony. There wasn't much meat left if you took off the skin and removed the bones.
Venue: Clean, relatively modern, and bustling. The washrooms were surprisingly nice. On the down side, the tables are VERY close together -- maybe just a couple of inches apart. By the end of the meal we had people on both sides of us, and it felt like we were all on top of each other and invading each others' space.
Service: Very fast -- Too fast I'd say. The food came within 5-10 minutes, and then the only interaction we had with a waitress was at the end of our meal when she dropped us the bill without saying a word. I just got the sense that they wanted you in and out ASAP. Basic courtesy, or a smile, wouldn't hurt.
I'm still hunting for a great Asian place on Spadina. I think I enjoyed Goldstone more...
