Mong Kok Chinese Restaurant does not remind me of any long time existing or out of business Chinese Restaurants in Scarborough... since I don't really go to any of them for dim sum... "older" Chinese does frequent those while younger people hang out at Starbucks or Destiny...
As note by Wayne C's the GOLD borders, frames , the Chandeliers and the nicely cushioned chairs which will be enticing and comforting to the older generation..but obviously not doing anything for me.
I cannot comment Mong Kok for their dim sum offerings.. as I was here for a Buddhist Vegetarian dinner.
Prices wise... since special arrangement has been made and as an invited guest, I don't really need to pay for it.. and I have no idea how much it cost.
The menu is pretty standard Vegetarian dishes... nothing usual or creative... but what is usual? what is standard? what is creative?
Most of the dishes I have were mostly DECENT, A-OK but some of them were SO-SO! But now what is SO-SO?
Services here is typical Chinese.. but what is typical Chinese... Does it means good or decent or lousy?
Definitely not my FIRST choice or even second but if my yelp friend wants to come back and show me how the good old days used to be, I will go along for the ride.
And maybe him or his "worm in the stomach" (Wayne Worm) can inspire me and I can write much better reviews!
