| - Service was quite disappointing, but the food made up for it.
This is one of our family go to Chinese restaurants. It has been around for over 10+ years and is a staple for many families for dinner. We came here for dinner the night before the Lunar New Year, so we expected it to be busy. We made reservations in advance for a table for 14 at 7:30pm.
We got there on time, but still had to wait until 8pm. That was the first strike.
We sat down, and they started us off with the soup, which was good, most likely because we were all starving. It was pork bone boiled with radishes and cabbages. After the soup, it took them maybe 20-25 minutes to bring out the other dishes. Second strike.
As we progress through the meal, the dishes were brought out in spurts. First 3 together, then another 3 after 20 minutes, then another 3 after another 20 minutes. Usually at a Chinese restaurant, they would bring out all dishes relatively closer within each other but considering it's one of their busiest nights of the year, I guess they miss the ball on this one.
Let's talk about some of the food:
Cheese Lobster (twin lobsters covered in cheese, this is their signature dish for $26. Probably one the best dishes they make there, it never disappoints. Very flavorful and enough to share with everyone)
Ginger Lobster (twin lobsters, marinated with ginger, garlic, and green onions, also $26. Not a personal favourite but this is also one of their signatures)
Tai Yeh Chicken (Another one of their best dishes, the chicken is very tender, goes well with steamed rice, served with pickled radishes and the jellyfish strands)
Tofu Spinach (Vegetarian dish, the tofu is egg tofu, which is super smooth. The spinach underneath is cooked perfectly)
Pork Hock (This is not easy to make, but I feel like they still could have done better, the fat/meat parts were tough and not fall-off-the-bone, they drenched the entire dish in sauce to make up for it, not the best idea)
Sweet & Sour Beef (Very common dish, the pieces of meat were too large so we had to cut it up ourselves, onions were undercooked, again, too much sauce)
Mango Chicken in Bird's Nest (Mangoes were a bit sour, chicken was done right though, this comes recommended to try!)
After we finished, we asked for dessert, and unfortunately, they ran out - so were given 2 plates of sliced oranges. Not exactly what we expected, which I deem as the third strike. After making us wait an extra 30 minutes, when we had a full party of 14, then prolonging our hunger after we sat, and followed by no dessert, this is probably not my go-to restaurant anymore. But when I do come back, hopefully, they'll improve the service aspect sooner rather than later.
