| - This place was recommended by one of my managers and I am so glad that I listened. The places that we were going to go to, were a bit more pricier than here and the items on the menu were limited. This place was a 6 minute drive away from Pacific Mall, located on Warden. In the same plaza, there's a chat time beside the restaurant and many more restaurants to scope out. A peaking duck restaurant located a couple doors down and a dessert cafe located right across!
The plaza does have parking but if you do not want any hassle, get there early. I seen signs for underground parking but have no idea where that was. TIP: Do not park near chat time, it was almost impossible to get out with the amount of people parking their cars on the side to pick up their orders at chat time. They really should not be allowed to park there since it is so tight to drive pass and there's suppose to be no parking there, duh! It's a parking lot and that was the aisle!
Surprisingly, we were seated pretty quickly! I seen previous pictures of people lining up on the door way but almost everyone got seated unless you came in a larger group, it only takes a couple minutes for them to pull a larger round table from the back and set up the table and then everyone is seated. We had 4 adults and two babies. Our friend has to fold their stroller because it was pretty tight and our table was pretty small. When our food came, we had to stack most of the dishes on top of other dishes.
We kind of got carried away by ordering 2 and 3 of everything which we regretted. Lesson learned, we will always order one of everything next time and then order more later. My favorite dishes was the seafood pancake, the curried cuttlefish, steamed tendon in black sauce and their scallop and snow peas rice roll was just amazing. Everyone at the table loved the steamed tendon but if the appearance does not look appetizing to you, just close your eyes, it was so delicious. It was my boyfriend's favorite.
The curried cuttlefish was so perfect, I hate ordering this dish because most of the places I go to, they always overcook the cuttlefish and it's usually rubbery but this one melted into your mouth and was fresh tasting!
We accidentally ordered 3 dishes of squid tentacles forgetting that there was more food to try. However, we did finish all of it. The toddler even agrees, she loved it. Their spring rolls was tasty and the general siu mai and har gow was good too. I wasn't a big fan of their chicken and ginger congee. The chopped bones was throughout the soup and felt grimey, we definitely could not feed the kids the congee because of the bones.
I thought the food was great aside from the congee. They were pretty accommodating but it was difficult to ask for things like pop or hot sauce. There was one older man with glasses that was simply rude and he didn't hide the fact that he was annoyed with us. The thing is that he kept leaving our table half way through asking requests and give us attitude when we ask for more stuff when he comes back. He would have saved himself the trouble if he has listened the first time. Our table wanted pop at lunch and he had to come to the table three times to get us our drink orders. And he was mad at us when he didn't listen the first time?? That was frustrating.
The other servers were amazing when they were around and the food was great. We would come back for the amazing food and to try more things on the menu and hope we don't get that man with glasses to serve us.
Sorry forgot to take a picture, we were already hangry before we sat down so when the food came, we all dived right in.
