AH-MAZING!!!!
The restaurant itself is pretty small, but they have two party rooms that you can book, away from the crowd. This is what we did as we were celebrating my brother's and mine's birthday.
The food is representative of northern china and one of the best restaurants in toronto, in my opinion for this type of food. For people that are used to southern style food (HK and Guangdong), this will be a good change!
We ordered a variety of things such as the inside out fish (amazing, my fave), duck and buns (very tender, had bones so we had to take it out to put into the buns), steamed chicken with sticky rice in banana leave (very tender and not overly salty), lobster (fried in garlic and onion, but i feel like they steamed it first or did something to make the texture silky), jellyfish, pork, mushroom soup (my second fave - so light), veggies with mushroom, eel (spicy, but delicious), sui long bai (very flavourful! one of the best i've had), shanghai noodles, and tofu noodles (very unique. long strips of tofu noodles - kind of reminded me of this chinese ingredient, but don't know how to say it in English), You can make all the dishes spicy or not (for weaksauces like myself). They plated the food nicely with these wax figures from china. It was pretty cute.
For our birthdays, we got a choice of noodles or their sweet soup for free. We choose the sweet soup with pieces of sticky rice, egg, and glutinous balls in it. It was really good.
It was so good that I devoured the food and forgot to take pics of each dish.
I recommend coming here with a large group of people so that you can try everything. They do have an English menu for people that cannot read chinese (like myself). I give this place a 4 out of 5 because the service wasn't the best. We had to keep asking for refills on tea. However, they were very busy and probably forgot about us since we were in the party room.
