I have not been to this restaurant in over a year now. I think they change owners/managment. Unfortunately my biggest beef with this restaurant now is the service. We came on a Saturday afternoon with festival crowds on Whyte. Probably 1/3 of the tables were occupied. It took 40 minutes for our first dish to arrive. I counted 2 staff in the kitchen and 1 staff on the floor. The poor lady on the floor. She served, cashiered, answered takeout calls, cleared tables, etc. She was running ragged. They really need to hire more staff. This staffing level will definitely turn away customers. No amount of good food will compensate a lack of service

I’ve been coming here for years and it’s still a family favourite. The portions sizes are really good and the food is tasty. Service can be a tad slow but it’s worth the wait. There are two menus so you can ask for the more authentic Chinese menu as it is still written in English. Definitely a tasty place for Chinese food!

Food is ALWAYS excellent, my 90 year old Dad said as good as he's ever had. And he loves Chinese, and has been generally a little disappointed almost everywhere his whole life. We've eaten there numerous times and food always good, can always get a table without a reservation (surprisingly, really) and enjoy the traditional small family business feel. I am a chop suey lover, I heartily recommend theirs.

Be sure the calculate the bill before the you order. First time customer. Today I went there and the service was bad. I called on the phone and ask what they had in a certain dish and they told me I don’t know just look at the picture on the menu. What do you mean you don’t know? Can’t you just ask the kitchen or something. I told them I had allergy and they said oh I’m not sure. (English was not very good). When I got the food home, I noticed that the picture shown on the menu the noodles were yellow, like curry. I know that because the name of the dish. I had a rice and the yellow onions weren’t even cooked. They cooked everything and put big chunks of white onions on top. My husband went and pick up the order and didn’t check the price and tapped the card. I realized with the receipt that they charged me a nearly extra $10. My bill was 61.85 and they charged me $70. I checked the GST was correct 5% but they changed the price when the print out the receipt and it was different from their online menu or the in store one. I will not be back after this. My friend also went there and said for dine in they have no service at all. The plates were stacked they were the only table and the service was terrible, they said they also asked what is in fried rice and they I don’t know it looks like shrimp, a type of meat and egg.

My husband and I love to eat out local, we are happy to spend money for great food. This place was NOT that. Some of the worst food I’ve had, when we complained about the undercooked and overcooked items, we were met with aggression… we obviously don’t understand the cuisine. Pardon me, I know a plate of garbage when it’s put in front of me. We left a full table of food… take out containers… no thank you. Over cooked from frozen garbage. Ohhhh, the fried rice was ok. I could do better at home, and I’m no chef. So many great locally sourced, fresh food spots in the area, I would never recommend. Absolutely disappointing. The best part of this meal was writing this review.

The Chinese food is very authentic and tasty

My boyfriend ordered fish maw soup via uber for me as I was sick. Probably the most tasteless, watery, and almost to no-fish maw soup I've ever had. I could cook better fish maw than this, if only I wasn't sick. Will never go there nor recommend this place.

My mom and my aunt went for lunch yesterday and told me about their experience. I was not there personally but this review is submitted on behalf of them.
They arrived for lunch around noon on a Wednesday. There were a few tables each with a couple of occupants. They ordered 2 dim sum dishes and a rice pot. The dim sum itself was relatively cheap at $6. The minced beef and egg rice was $16.30. They were charged for tea which was standard. They were informed that the tea they chose was premium which would cost more. That’s a bit much. On top of that, their teapot was barely refilled. Multiple times, servers walked right past the opened pot (indicating it needed to be refilled). They were gifted 2 coconut crème dessert bunnies as it was their first time there. The issue came when the bill arrived. For 3 items plus tea, it came to $48. When my mom questioned it, it became apparent that the GST added onto the bill was a whopping 54% rather than 5% (as it has said on the bill). The subtotal was $31.30 plus “a GST OF $17.05”. Had my aunt and mom not pay attention and just tapped their card, they would have paid that. The server proceeded to shove the bill from the neighbouring table into my aunts face to show her that their bill was correct. Perhaps it’s a computer glitch. But the 5% GST should be automated on their cash register. Not sure how it came out to be 54%. So be warned if you do go, check your bill!

Food was not the most appetizing or eye catching. Portions were very large but the ginger beef tasted like they fried it in old oil or days prior to serving us. Chili pork noodles were soggy and flavourless. Sadly would not recommend. The best part was the Vietnamese spring rolls

Tables for up to 4 diners are tight, tables for 5 or more are jot. Food is good. Service is reasonable. Been going here for many years.

Delicious selection of Chinese food and great portions! Perfect for takeout night or a group meal!

Wow I was blown away by how delicious the lunch special is. I will definitely be back. Thanks again jack for the great hospitality.

Authentic Cantonese Seafood at a reasonable price. Went there after walking a bunch up and down Whyte Ave. Promptly seated and once we ordered, the food came out quickly. Food was well prepared and tasty.
