While searching for sticky rice stuffed chicken, I came across raving reviews about this restaurant. A small restaurant tucked away at the corner of Sheppard and Midland, I did not expect it to have been this packed. Luckily we made reservations and seated promptly upon arrival (24 hours' notice is required for the stick rice chicken). For a family of 5 we ordered the following:
Chicken stuffed with sticky rice: the reason we came to this restaurant and it did not disappoint. The chicken was incredible crispy on the outside, moist on the inside and stuffed with delicious glutinous rice. It was about $45 for the whole chicken (which I was told is considered pricey), but it was enough to feed us 5 with leftovers so very worth it in my opinion. (Plus there's not many restaurants across the city that serves this!)
Peking duck: mediocre at best. The duck comes out carved (vs carved in front of you).
Steamed oysters: I saw another table order this at it smelled so good I had to check it out myself. The oyster comes with thin vermicelli and loads of garlic (yum!)
Seafood "Bird's Nest": loaded with quality seafood
I saw many tables order the wintermelon soup, which apparently also requires a 24 hour notice. I am not a huge fan of wintermelon but given its popularity, I'll have to try it the next time around.
Service was prompt, as expected of a Chinese restaurant. We were in an out in 1 hour.
