| - I went to this restaurant a few nights ago and was not disappointed. In the heart of Mississauga's Chinatown, many businesses and restaurants have come and gone - yet this restaurant still remains, possibly as one of the last remaining gems in this little plaza.
I went to this restaurant many many years ago when it was still a bit of a dingy place, and decided to try it again. They have definitely improved - the decor is now much more modern and chic, and has a lot of daily/lunch "specials". It's mostly an authentic Chinese restaurant but I find they have a lot of fusion type dishes to make things more interesting, something that would appeal to younger customers like me.
We had one of their 2 lobsters for $20 special, and it was definitely decent. I actually ordered just a regular vegetarian tofu dish on the menu - and to my surprise, it was my favourite dish! I really like this because when a regular menu item taste good, it's a generally good indication that the restaurant has good food and not just the specials. None of the items on the menu seemed to be unreasonably price, which is a plus.
My mom personally knows the head chef and he's super sweet and you could tell genuinely cares that his cooking satisfies his customer. It is family run and owned, and I always support these type of businesses because you can see they truly care about their food and service. If you're looking for some good authentic, but not totally boring, Chinese food - I think this place would not disappoint.
Definitely worth a try if you're in Mississauga and planning to visit Chinatown.
