One of the best restaurants I’ve eaten at. The owner is very kind and very hardworking, he’s the only one in the restaurant but the food still comes out on time and it’s very fresh too. Definitely check it out

The prices are fantastic! The food was very good, although the chicken was slightly overdone. Lots of flavor overall and generous portions. Not a fancy place by any means but excellent service.

Omg worst Chinese food ever. Take out orderI asked him what type of noodles in the chow neon and I couldn’t understand what he was saying well what I got was bean sprouts little tiny bits of chicken and 1 stick of carrot. That is what their chow mein was. I asked for some soya sauce and he kept saying I don’t need it. The lemon chicken mainly batter and the egg roll was old and I think some beef in there. I couldn’t bite it was definitely old the batter. The only thing that was ok was friend rice except not a lot in there either except rice. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place and it was my 1st time trying it. They charged me $5 ext cause I asked for chow mein and honestly it was very small portion (bean sprouts) lolDefinitely not fresh and more than likely old oil. Not worth $20 plus tax. In the future , new to the province I will be looking up reviews before going anywhere again.

Take out 6 egg rolls and 1 chicken fried rice and had to bring back. The cook/server was very friendly but the food was still the worst I ever had. I will not return again

Make sure you have cash in hand before going to this worst place. There is a sign in the reception saying will accept master card, visa card , American express ext, don't trust them. And make sure you going to order the food by their choice. They are not going to give what you want. Chicken fried rice dosent have even one chicken piece, egg roll filling with something black filling in it. Lemon chicken only fried batter, not even find one piece of chicken inside the batter, asked for wine, said not avaliable, while eating (really not eating, acting) they offered wine. The better we find in there is beer.

Have been here several times, but spaced out over about 20 yrs. Most recent visit was last night about 7pm, a Thursday evening in December. Went in to place a take-out order to bring back to my office with a coworker for a bit of catch-up. There were two tables taken in the dining room. I would guess seating capacity for 80? The atmosphere is what you expect for most Chinese restaurants around here, with the normal decor, carpeting, basic tables. Seems well maintained, clean, and actually noticeably cozy this visit, with lower lighting and the back seating area closed off. It wasn't overly warm, but comfortable. I was greeted within maybe 30 seconds by the owner or manager, who was friendly. I took a take-out menu and explained I was looking for one of the standard "Canadian combos" that we've grown up with in NS. He pointed me right to that section, mentioning that you can add another item to the plate for $5. So I ordered the combination A meal, with an extra. Came to $19 something after tax. It was ready perhaps 11 or 12 mins, as expected. Took it to the office and generally enjoyed chowing down on the sweet & sour chicken balls (5 or 6 of them, a bit hard but still tasty and no complaints), rice ok/good, chow mein good/ok with liquid at the bottom as expected due to gravity of the styrofoam container, egg roll also similar to what you get at many Chinese restaurants locally (crispy, decent shell, with a brown substance inside). Although nothing blew me away here, I wasn't turned off. I'd go back, preferably at night where it seemed, again, very cozy.

Worst place in earth. Bad food, bad service, nothing is edible. Bathroom horrible, place has lot of flies. Plates were dirty, worst lo mein, not worth a dime, portions are tiny.DO NOT COME HERE. Go to McDonalds instead or go to ChinaTown, wayyy better.

Great food. Had Orange beef, Shredded Chicken with garlic and steamed rice. Owner/chef was super friendly and helpful. Was sad to see we were the only patrons at the time. Place was nicely decorated and clean. Lots of parking. Lots of choice in menu. Will be back.
