| - I have to admit, my expectations were not that high based on some of the other reviews I had read. However, one of my coworkers had eaten here before and wanted to come back.
We came for dinner after work on a Thursday and the parking (again, cautious from other reviews!) wasn't bad. There's a structure and there were plenty of spots. I'm guessing it only gets bad on the weekends or something.
The place is not the cleanest place in the world, but very typical of a Chinese restaurant. Note: I did not venture into the washrooms. We came with one of our coworkers who lives in the area. He seemed to know all the staff and a guy in a sports jacket (the owner perhaps?) seemed really intent on taking good care of us.
The local guy ordered a few dishes. About half were shellfish, so I couldn't eat them, but what I was able to eat was really good! The lemon chicken, sweet & sour pork, and angus beef dish were top notch - and yes, I know those aren't real Chinese. The other people seemed to like the shellfish dishes, which were more authentic. All in all, it surpassed my admittedly lowered expectations and I'd definitely come back.
