Probably my favourite place to go with my family for Chinese New Year that's relatively downtown.
My family is the one that likes their chow mein crunchy but greasy and the usual veggie deep fried goodies during this season.
I was here this past Chinese New Year with 5 for dinner - MAKE A RESERVATION FOR SPECIAL DATES. Thankfully I made one, but we would of had to wait about half an hour for a spot (not too shabby, but too long if you're with your parents haha).
We ate a lot, but my picks that you HAVE to get:
Bamboo Fungus Soup - The bamboo in this soup is crunchy and so bomb.
Mixed Mushrooms in Taro Nest - Cashews and mushrooms are the best combo. The celery makes you feel like you're super zen and healthy eating this.
Deep Fried Taro - not too oily, slightly crunchy, and the taro is 100%.
It's a bit more pricey than your average Chinatown restaurant, but it's well worth it if your finding a place for your Asian festivities.
