Every dish tastes like MSG. I’m not against putting msg in my food, but you can’t put that much and make every dish taste the same.

Food is fantastic and excellent value. Because of that the place is very crowded and super noisy but you can't have everything. Still one of the best Chinese restaurants for dinner I have been to. Probably the best for the price point.

Food is great so is service, but the cleanness and environment is bit below average

Good late-night authentic Chinese food. Parking is a bit tricky however it’s not too bad as there are spots in the neighborhood. The food quality is on-point and better than other late night places of this style of Chinese cuisines. It’s southern style and very authentic. The service is decent. The restaurant can get a bit busy and it may be a bit cramped but overall manageable. I like how they use cloth table covers and change them for every time they clear the table for new patrons. It reminds me of the dim sum and higher end seafood restaurants. Looking forward to my next visit as the menu items are varied and looking to try some new to me dishes.

The portion of each food is enough for 10 people, and the taste is very good, but because the place is small, you have to make a reservation or go after 8 o'clock to get a seat.

We had reserved a table in advance. We arrived on time and waited for a while to pick up the table. The restaurant staff immediately urged us to order. After the meal, the restaurant staff urged us to pay the bill. It was like going to a food court to eat fast food. Their attitude was unfriendly.

The food is amazing and portions are very generous, but don't expect service or ambiance. Definitely call to reserve and be on time, I saw people loosing their reservation because they were 10 min late, they will let you have the table for 90 min. But the food is so good, even the need to perform some class A parallel parking on Kingsway won't stop me from coming back.

The food exceeded my expectations!

I went with someone who was very familiar with the menu so ordered their best dishes! Tong Choy, eggplant with minced pork, chicken/intestine(?) soup and garlic chicken.

The place is small and will be noisy.

Not a place to take a date! But a great place for family style meal.

Terrible service. While my family was in the middle enjoying our dinner, the server, without asking, took away the dishes which they considered empty. They didn't even care if there were still leftovers on the dishes. They even took away our eating utensils and plates without our consent.

Food was crappy. The roasted garlic chicken was overcooked, and that eel clay pot was not worth $88 at all. It was bland with a splash of salt. Everything was flavorless.

When it came to the time to pay the bill, the server did not let us use the POS machine. They just asked if we wanted to pay 12% or 15% tips and process the transaction herself. They even demanded more tips.

My brother and sister in-law experience diarrhea after dinner. Now my father in-law had an abdomen cramp as well ?.

Food has gone downhill. The eel rice and lobster rice are both bland and not flavourful. Service is really bad and they are always rushing you out. It’s crowded and not- hygienic in there. When I was paying, the reservation/hostess lady was asking me if I wanted to give 12 or 15% instead of handing me the machine. She is the rudest one there and the rest are also rude. I will not be going back.

The bill is usually higher than what is listed on the menu... I asked about it and was told that the prices were not updated yet ??‍♀️The portions are huge! I like the wok hei and the rowdy ambiance.
Heads up...cash only
