It’s okay . More catered to western tastes and extremely salty for us.

I had been traveling thru airports for 12 hours, got a room across the street at Pinnacle. Exhausted and starving I wanted nothing more than a hot bowl of wonton soup and sleep. I called Heritage Asian Eatery, 45 minutes before closing to put in a to-go order and was told they stopped doing take out for the night. It’s soup!!! I get it, if I called 10-15 minutes before closing but almost an hour?!? C’mon!! Soooooo disappointing. I worked in the food & beverage industry for a good chunk of my adult life and I understand everyone wants to go home but if you’re still open for almost an hour, how difficult is it to ladle some broth in a bowl and throw some wontons in?!?! It’s not like they’re hand rolling dumplings to order. Prob won’t be going back.
The reviews tricked me into giving this place a try. What we got was incredibly expensive subpar Chinese food.
The sui mai came out right after we ordered and was clearly not fresh. Any place that serves dim sum would blow it out of the water.
Tried the duck and pork Baos. The latter came out cold and when we brought it up, we saw the staff microwave it in the kitchen before bringing it back to our table.
The only decent items were the char siu and gai lan, and both were wildly overpriced for the portions you get. If you're craving Chinese, it's worth the trip to go elsewhere in the city.
Good place for an easy meal. The menu is straightforward, and the portions are just right for one person.

This Chinese restaurant is quite unique. If you enjoy char siu that’s on the fattier side but not greasy, this is the place to go. They don’t take reservations for weekday lunches, so you may need to wait for a table. The service is warm and attentive—they’ll keep your water topped up throughout your meal. However, I found the roast duck less impressive than the roast chicken.

Good food, good service, but unfortunately they don't know enough about food allergies (Celiac, can't eat wheat) and the severe reactions people can experience if they are served inappropriate food items. I found this lack of knowledge surprising since they are in the business of food preparation. They should educate themselves - otherwise they can cause severe harm to their customers - and receive bad reviews - which will reduce business - and possible legal action.

The East Asian spirit as such crystallizes in people and dishes you can find in Heritage Asian Eatery. Couple of times, I and my wife are coming here, and every time we leave there with most satisfaction. ❤️

Really impressed with the food here! The eggplant rice bowl was packed with flavor, the dan dan noodle with added char siu was rich and satisfying, and the truffle siu mai plus BBQ pork bao were both excellent 🤤🤤🤤. Great quality for the price, highly recommend!

We got the following items for take out:
Salted chicken, Duck, Char siu, fried rice, spring roll, eggplant, Truffle siu mai
The meat dishes were a bit greasy, but the duck was amazing and so flavorful. The char siu was good, but since it was pork belly it was fattier than what I am normally used to. The truffle siu mai was nice and the truffle flavor wasn't overly powering. The eggplant was so delicious and it was lightly crispy.
I wasn't really a fan of the spring rolls.
Some other dishes that I love getting from here is the mushroom rice bowl, 5 spice chicken wings, and the 5 spice cauliflower.
Like the classic “Chinatown BBQ” but with more bells and whistles on the menu from other parts of China that has keeps the Cantonese foodie enthused and not like they just went to their parent’s home for a casual weekday dinner.

Consider they are in the business district I was surprised they don’t have some kind of express lunch menu. Prices slightly on the high side but ambience is good. The duck was disappointing. While portion is decent there were more than a few bony pieces. The marinate was probably too light and the skin is not crispy enough, it was just cooked and satisfactory. All things considered, they’re more popular are Baos and bbq pork which I have not tried. so maybe my review is abit harsh.

We walked in and got seated right away, it’s a small place so our group got divided in 3. Food was great— highlight was the eggplant bowl! Service was okay, a little bit slow which is understandable since the restaurant was full and there were only 2 waitresses on the floor. The prices were affordable as well. Overall, a great experience and would come back for a quick bite! The washroom was very clean as well.

👉🏻 The dishes here have that classic Cantonese flavor—rich, authentic, and full of depth. Every bite was comforting and delicious. The only small letdown was that the plate was cold or the food took a bit long to serve, which meant the food wasn’t as hot as it could have been. Still, the flavor was so good that it more than made up for it! 🍲✨
