| - Decent solid place, with a good attitude. No-nonsense mall-style Chinese food in this clean and swanky new fast food eatery. It's just off the main drag of Chinatown, Spadina Avenue and Dundas, but far enough along Dundas to blend in more with the Alexandra Park neighbourhood, rather than the hustle and bustle of the spine of Chinatown. Combo 1, 2 or 3 means you get a choice of levels of price, with the top end at $4.50. Start with delicate Cantonese fried rice with layers of egg, or thick noodles in soy sauce, and move to the vegetables, long green beans, or broccoli covered in garlic, maybe cauliflower in a white sauce, then progress to the meat dept. Chicken, beef, pork, or fish, your choice and they're savoury and delightful, with the choice difficult given the attractive presentation under the glass. Delicately breaded shrimp, thin slices of beef with a dark sauce, thin fillets of salmon, all ready for the slinging. This is a blue collar lunch, worthy of chowing down if you have worked hard all day and deserve it. The portion is huge and satisfying. Friendly staff, with a hearty, NO PROBLEM! shouted out to me from them a few times, and well worth the deek off the main drag to go to Yoo J.
