| - Pretty solid place in the neighbourhood! I honestly would've never taken a second glance at this place, considering I pass it all the time and didn't even know it's a restaurant.
The restaurant itself is a little small, but cozy. Definitely something that's very 'family-oriented'! Our group of beautiful yelpers took up half the restaurant, but it didn't seem over-crowded at all. The menu is pretty big, with a variety of hot appies, cold appies, desserts, entrees and omg, there was SO much.. was I dreaming? Of course, yelpers being yelpers, we all pretty much ended up over-ordering and dying with a fully tummy of carbs and meat at the end.
The portions of the food though.. damn, they were on another level. My stomach literally felt like it had expanded in the course of one meal. The soup was delicious and tasty. For only $2.95, it pretty much filled me and create the sad realization in my mind that it was only the first dish of many to come... I got the chicken soup (don't remember the name) and it had chunks of SUPER tender chicken in it with rice.. so good! I'll go back JUST for the soup. Another thing.. those dumplings are no dumplings.. THEY'RE DAMN MONSTERS, if you ask me. The size of my fist for each soup dumpling? Am I dreaming here? *insert lame 'in soviet-russia, the dumplings eat you' joke*
A lot of the other dishes were also good. The meat is tender and clearly well cooked. Some dishes probably had an extra helping of salt too.. CARBS AND MEAT. CARBS AND MEAT. CARBS AND MEAT. That's pretty much the only thing you need to know about this restaurant. There's probably those reading this out there that are now bursting to tell everyone that they're vegan, or oh-so-gluten 'sensitive' *rolls eyes*.. yeah, this place ain't for you.
However, if you're looking for a massive cheat day and you're in the area, go nuts! I'd say definitely give this place a try.. especially YorkU students that are hungry from being york'ed. Great place to get away for awhile! ;)
