| - This place is definitely a hole in the wall. In fact, I missed it twice and it wasn't until I actually walked inside the mall that I found the back of this restaurant, which gave me the hunch to walk along the front and read the signs more carefully. What's interesting is that there have been a lot of good reviews about this place, in a mall that has four Chinese BBQ restaurants. That's quite the accomplishment, so, I thought that I would try this restaurant today. I actually found this restaurant while I was looking for another BBQ restaurant but decided that I would try it. So, the restaurant is a hole in the wall, what remained to be seen is whether this restaurant is also a hole. Okay, definitely uncalled for, but I had to.
Here's what I noticed:
The restaurant is outside the food court of this mini mall, I don't actually know the name of the mall, so you are on your own. It is near the exit by the restaurant supply store, and almost seems like it is hidden behind the pillar. The sign is faded red and yellow and the yellow is starting to resemble an orange, which could be why I missed it. They have a scant seating area near the window but that didn't seem to be a problem as there wasn't much foot traffic while I was in the restaurant.
The kitchen is half the size of the restaurant and you can look in and see the cook doing everything. The BBQ meats on the display are inside the restaurant, so you would have to know that it was a BBQ restaurant to see its wares.
The service was prompt, and the couple that were tending to me seemed like they were tag teaming very efficiently. She would take my order, then go into the kitchen and tell the "butcher"/cook what I wanted, he would then come out and chop what was needed, asking for my preferences of Chinese veggies or tofu. When he was done, he would go back into the kitchen and she would come out with my piping hot soup. She would bag everything for me and take my money.
The prices were low and the portions were plentiful. I didn't bother ordering a drink but then again, I didn't see a drink fridge, maybe I will look for it the next time.
The food was very good. However, let me be more specific. The presentation of my rice bowl was very well done. Of course, rice on the bottom, meat on either sides and vegetables in the middle. What surprised me is the ample portion of duck that I got. The rice was flavorful, the sauce was dead on. Vegetables were very simple, just a boiled in the middle of my rice bowl. The take out container that I refer to the rice bowl was large. The BBQ duck wasn't a leg, but it had a lot of meat and was very flavorful, so, I was satisfied with that. The Roasted Pork meat was also very plentiful and the skin was perfect, no blemishes and easy to eat. There was no sauce offered or given, which is sad, because everything has a perfect condiment. The soup was what I expected. If you don't like soup, there was no soya milk option like at Sun BBQ next door.
This restaurant is very reasonable, quick and close to what I would expect for a Chinese BBQ restaurant. I give it my seal of approval.
