This is a stereotypical Canadian-Chinese experience. It reminds me of being a kid when this was more or less the only Chinese-stype food one could get in Toronto. That's what I like about it.
You can choose from the fixed menus or order a la carte. Either or are fine. We tend to order a bit of this and a bit of that. Usually fixed menu as a base and then two or two other dishes.
We live in the neighbourhood, but we don't tend to order takeout from this place more than two times a year or so. That adds up over fifteen years or so.
Generally, we are happy with this place. That said, it depends who is cooking. This is why I am giving it a middle rating.
Sometimes when we order, the food is fresh and just awesome for what it is. Perfect. The sweet sour wontons or pork crunchy. The chicken balls are a bit more doughy than I'd like. Bright red sauce on the side. The fried rice is flavourful enough. The vegetable dishes are good. Nice balance of vegetables. Generous portions of meat to vegetable. The General Tso chicken or beef is sauced and flavoured just enough. Shrimp and squid dishes are good too.
On the other hand, sometimes we have the misfortune of having a very different style of cook though. One probably who has background in mall cuisine because there is little subtlety in his/ her creations. The vegetable dishes more like slop slippery. Far too much celery and onion, not enough of the other vegetables or meat that are supposed to be there. Little flavour. Sometimes too with this cook the meat is overdone and has lost its flavour and texture.
Too bad about the disappointing times that we've ordered. We try not to get our hopes up too much when we order. After a bad batch, it tends to be a while before we risk it again.
