| - We came here thanks to them being open after midnight. We went in July 2013 and getting there was a nightmare due to severe construction on the main road. There were crews and cones everywhere, and only one snaking lane open with no ability to turn into the restaurant from the main road. It took us about 10 min of detouring and searching after seeing the restaurant to be able to actually park there. Decor and looks we're nice, a little better than I expected. Happy kitty and money frogs statues as expected. Slight language barrier but EVERYTHING ON THE MENU HAD PICTURES!!!!! I think that is a big plus. Menu was surprisingly extensive and clear, colorfull, easy to navigate. My goal going in was to challenge my adventurous palate and order something unusual and that I could not recognize. Mission was successfull. I ordered the sliced fish spicy soup, one of the "chef reccomended" sections. I received a huge huge bowl of, what appeared at first to be peppercorns and hot chilies in.... Oil, maybe? The broth was not really edible for me, but I knew I was getting in trouble with ordering something with two "spicy!" indicators next to the menu item. I had to order some steamed rice to help me get through the meal. The fish was actually really good, except covered in whole peppercorns (seriously the bowl must have had 300+ peppercorns in there) which I had to take off. The flavor was strong from the hot chilies and pepper, so you could not taste the mild but very tender fish. There was also some unusual ingredient in my soup, a black/grey/dark brown flat but textured item, I believe it started with an a, and I was very excited because I could not recognize what it was. Maybe a vegetable, maybe a mushroom or fungi, or algal growth, maybe unidentified animal organ (definitely not muscle meat). It tasted like peppercorns, due to my soup being mostly peppercorns, and was chewy. If anyone knows what I might have eaten, please comment, but it was definitely not bad. As far as the menu, like I said before lots of interesting choices, plenty for mild palates as well as risk takers. My boyfriend got the spicy duck, which was amazing. We did order pork buns, the menu had a small dim sum section, but the pork buns were IMO not very good, and came way after our food did. Soda is served in cans, no free refills, and water was not brought out unless you ask for it, due to hot pot of tea on table. What I did not like was that it took about 20 min until we were able to order once we were seated, and we never got a check, long after we were done we just kind of meandered to the front of the restaurant and waited to be checked out. If I went back to Toronto I would definitely come back, due to good interesting food and huge menu!
