Restaurant is quite busy and packed on the Tuesday evening we went. It must be one of the popular Chinese places in East Van. I think the price is very good for what you get. All of the dishes taste the authentic Cantonese way. I love the fried rice and the dessert which is complementary. They do accept credit cards (MC, Visa), and does not charge customers any card processing fees.

Came for this lobster sticky rice dish. Satisfying! Their fried squid & henein chicken was good too. For their vegetarian Buddhist feast, was not great, compared to other chinese restaurants.

Amazing foods, good service’s.

Had a reservation, but had to wait for like 20 mins till we got to sit in our table. Was served plastic cups. That did not matter till we saw that the other table had wine glass cups served to them. Food was not bad, except only that the seafood order that we were expecting has more vegetables in it than the seafood elements it was showing from the menu. Did not see the servers smile to us as customers. Poor customer service as they looked like they were kind of mad when we asked for extra utensils and containers.

Terrible service and the food was not even good. We had to stand and wait for almost half an hour even though we literally booked a reservation. There was even another group of people waiting beside us who also had reserved a table but were also not accommodated right away. When we finally got seated, they gave us tea which I was initially happy about but was immediately disappointed when I saw that the teapot looked dirty.. When the food came, we were then again disappointed. While the food did arrive pretty quick, it did not look and taste like what we expected. The sautéed SEAFOOD was about 80% and seemed more like sautéed veggies with a few toppings. The pork chops with plum sauce and the fried rice were good. Servers also seemed rude as they were slamming the stuff they bring to our table. Though there was one lovely server who was smiling and was accommodating but I didn't get her name. When we were done and were paying they looked like they were expecting us to tip or something. Overall I do not recommend this place at all especially if you look foreign to them. This is the first time I had a bad experience from a Chinese restaurant which is sad and disappointing since it is my favorite cuisine.

the worst experience I could get at a restaurant honestly. I was inside for my reservation time yet I had to wait half an hour just to be seated, worse part is that they prioritize their own kind first to be seated even though we were in the restaurant first. Service was so bad that even the server got mad for not getting a tip from me, food was mediocre for a Chinese restaurant. I also noticed that when I asked for a pitcher of water, they only gave us plastic cups, but yet seeing other tables that of their own kind having wine glasses for their water. Also asking for cutleries seems like an offence to the server who was serving us, seems like a racist move just because me and my group aren’t really comfortable using chopsticks. Despite the racism and bad experience, the wait time for the food was very quick, but overall the food was very salty nevertheless.

Terrible service, was expecting to be seated upon arrival but even with reservation it took very long. The lady that served us seemed so bothered with our requests for utensils and water with cups. Despite the mediocre service they asked us for tips by the end. There’s better restaurants out there, just saying.

Food was okay and served quickly, but despite having a 7:00 PM reservation made two hours in advance, we still had to wait a long time. The atmosphere was uncomfortable, people kept glancing at our table and they didn’t even try to hide their laugh (mind you we were the only customers who are not Chinese). We also noticed different treatment compared to other customers, and were given plastic cups while others received proper glassware. Service was unprofessional, the server commented on us not leaving a tip and reacted poorly. Overall, a very unpleasant experience.

We reserved but waited long. There's also a customer who keeps on looking at us and laughing afterwards with her friends. It was so uncomfortable the whole time since she keeps on doing it to us. The service is terrible. They didn't ask us if we want drink, we had to ask for it. They are fast on giving the water but we were shocked when they just slammed it on the table and left right away. They are nice to their own kind but not towards us. Food was okay and we didnt have to wait long. The teapot was so dirty like it was used tho. I looked around and other's are clean.
