This is the place to come for celebrations, anniversaries, birthdays, or when you're trying to impress out of town visitors.
Tip: RESERVATIONS. or else you'd be waiting for an hour or be told there's no more spots for the night.
There menu is basic as we usually order off of one of the big sheets that states the number of people it'll serve. Totally don't remember what my mom ordered but I LOOOOVED everything here.
When you order they bring out the live thing to show you. The guy held up a 20lb lobster for us once. Damn. There are several ways to cook it. The waitress/waiter will explain better than I can. But I usually go for the normal Chinese standard lobster or the one that's fried with little fishies. The staff had a huge turnover and I feel like they included more English-speaking individuals amongst them now.
Food is actually pretty quick as the place is always packed ~ 25 minutes for the first dish to come and the rest will follow quickly behind it.
They do give you gloves in case you don't want to get your hands dirty.
Cons:
- The tables are REALLY close together, as they struggle for space (as well as their parking lot).
- People there are L O U D. Omg.
- The staff is so busy they actually might forget one of your side orders (that's not off the big menu). Just remind them.
- Only 2 or 3 stalls in the washroom so might be packed.
- Price, it is fair but because I'm a newly graduated it is WAAAAY above my budget :(
Amazing food. Hands down. Will always be back.
