| - I came here during lunchtime today for their "renowned Salt & Pepper Pork Chops."
I was extremely disappointed, let me explain.
The portion was very small (at least the one I got) comparing to other places such as Keung Kee or Restaurant Cantonais, and there is no consistency in their dishes. I've got about half a bowl of rice while others got much bigger portions.
The pork chops were extremely overcooked and very tough to eat, my fork was entirely bent when I was trying to cut through those things. The seasoning was alright, and the outer shells were very crispy, but that cannot mask the toughness of the meat.
Furthermore, there is no "Chinese green veggies" or fried eggs as advertised and mentioned by other Yelpers. You can find some bits of eggs here and there in the rice, and that's it, talking about cutting costs.
My girlfriend had the Sichuan Style Tofu, and it was basically fried tofu stir-fried with onions and sweet chili sauce. It was extremely bland and disgusting to eat, not to mention that fried tofu does not even exist in Sichuanese cuisine.
The wonton soup that came with the lunch specials was pretty good, right amount of fillings and the seasoning was alright. Their Spicy & Sour soup was very watery and lacked all sorts of seasoning.
The restaurant is ran by one chef and one waiter, and therefore there is almost no service as the waiter was busy serving 7 tables. We had to write our orders ourselves...
The ambiance is pretty dark and boring, the restaurant is very small but not comfy or cozy at all. It is not well lit and the place is not very clean either.
The difference from the actual dining experience and these Yelp reviews from 2010 would be comparing your Big Mac with the one in an McDonald's ad. I'm not sure if we went on an off-day but I seriously doubt it, if they can screw up their "signature dish" this badly then it's pretty pointless to come back and try again.
