So it’s not the best Chinese food I’ve ever had but it wasn’t the worst!! Very old school and needs more spice and garlic but the atmosphere was quaint and the older Chinese lady who served us was so sweet and kind…we’ve always wondered about this place and finally we checked it out…you should too!

Worst food I've ever had. In fact, the next day I gave it to my chickens. The shriveled up, freezer burnt shrimp in the chop suey stunk. You could smell it as soon as you took the lid off. I spent extra for the house chow mein. I wanted something special. The dish was soggy and came with a pile of mushrooms on top. The ginger beef was so soggy, it had no texture left to it. The next day I called the restaurant to let them know. I was told that I was the only one who ever complained.

Absolutely the worst restaurant I have ever been in. I was served prawns which had either gone bad or were not cleaned. The food was utterly inedible and unsafe to eat. The woman serving us did not even ask how the food was or what was wrong since we just left the food on our plates. There were no other diners in the restaurant, which should have made us walk out. But we were hungry and not locals and simply trusted the rating on Google. Big mistake. This place should have a health and food inspection.

We loved this place! It is directly across the street from the theater so we could park and have dinner before the show. The meal was the best Chinese meal I have ever had: tasty, huge portions and reasonably priced.

Food was bland and overcooked. I asked for extra soya sauce in my fried rice when i ordered, and she handed me a bottle of soya sauce she didn't know the brand of in a blank bottle and the rice had no soya sauce in it and wasent crispy or very fried at all and so bland and got deep-fried shrimp that was almost 20 bucks before tip and the batter was completely dry with no moisture and the shrimp were tiny and dried out the restaurant was rather empty other then 1 table so it's not like the kitchen was super slammed or busy

The rice and ingredients are not fresh. There is a strange musty smell in the food. I have never seen such bad Chinese food.

A nice and quiet old fashioned style Chinese restaurant with a positive and relaxing atmosphere, I love their chicken chow mein & sweet and sour pork combo for one.

Excellent food and fun, friendly service. The food is NOT the same as other Chinese restaurants. This food is original (old fashioned) style that my parents treated my siblings and I to back in the 60s and 70s. I LOVE it! and so does my family.

Vegetarian options: Great choices of vegetarian dishes

Dietary restrictions: Diabetic options available

Parking: Depending on the time of day you arrive, the parking can get congested due to the restaurant's central downtown location.
