| - My review should be two stars but I gave an extra star for the cleanliness of the restaurant. Washrooms, dining area, kitchen. My wife and I were constantly hounded by our friends to try this place. So good, blah,blah,yak,yak.....
Let me tell you something...don't believe the hype.
There was too many cooks in the kitchen, most of them young and not doing much. If you've got time to talk...make my food. We waited a long time for the food. Mostly dumplings and a few other dishes. I had the pork/bak choi dumplings and they wre so salty I could not finish all 10. This is the first time in my life I never finished or taken home the dumplings to finish at a later time. Next was the shrimp fried rice, again salty and the rice was a mixture of old and fresh rice. Not a great mixture, some of the rice was soft, some was hard. Very little shrimp included in the dish.
My wife and her friend had the steamed dumplings but also salty and they were not closed right so a few of them was falling apart. My wife's friend kept apologizing for how bad the meal was and said they usually were not that bad. Usually? This place loves salt from what I can tell and I never did find out why there was so many cooks and why we waited 20 minutes for our mains. Only thing that was decent was the Hot/Sour soup. A soup that usually is salty but their's was not. Went there a second time with my wife's boss and pretty much the same things happened again. Salty, long wait, poorly closed dumplings, rice was hard, too many cooks in the kitchen doing nothing.
