“I popped into this place after work, and I'm going to agree with the other reviews - it's great. Local, homemade, Chinese food. The owners are extremely friendly.
I'm definitely going back to check out the other items on their menu.“

“Szechuan Noodle Bowl is truly a hidden gem. The fact that they’re not world-famous feels like an oversight! Before COVID, their hand-cut noodle bowls were unbeatable in price and portion, and even now, the prices remain incredibly reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. On a cold winter day, this is the perfect spot to warm up with a steaming bowl of Szechuan noodle soup—it’s comfort food at its finest, warming both the stomach and the soul.
The duck plate is also tasty, though it leans on the pricier side for the portion. If you want the best value, stick with the classic noodle bowls—they never disappoint!“

“I got the choose your own lunch special. I got the chicken chop suey as the base and my 3 choices were beef w green pepper n veggies, sesame chicken and soya chicken w veggies.
It tasted amazing better than big combo 1. Was absolutely delicious. The beef was so tender, the sesame chicken so crispy, the symphony of textures of veggies beautiful. Someone give the cook a medal he or she kicked it out the park. Chefs kiss.
This takeout spot is a bit more pricey than others but the quality is there. But with the lunch special its good value and delicious food. And if you're ordering for dinner id recommend the dishes i had.“

“Came in for lunch for the first time today with another person. Both of us got the grilled pork + bbq pork + rice combo. Food blew us away. Pork perfectly tender where it needs to be, perfectly crispy where it needs to be. Served with a side of cabbage that was a surprise hit with both of us.“

“My test for great Chinese good is Cantonese chowmein. Panda passes the test with flying flavours. I think it is the best Chinese food in Burlington. Owner/operated everything is very fresh and very good portions. Tried the chicken vermicelli dish in black bean sauce last night. It was excellent.“

“My date and I went in thinking they might have coffee but it’s more of a Korean tea lounge. I tried the Hokkaido milk tea and liked it ?. My friend had the peach tea but misunderstood and thought it would be like a western tea but she liked it still“

“Amazing food , always order in but each time it’s always delicious. The best wonton soup in town 8 wontons for the price of 4 at regular restaurants. Unfortunately even though they are open til 11 I can’t order through Skip as it says they are closed and their phone number won’t work so I can’t even get an order placed so we go to South City which actually still delivers without having a delivery app. South city is just as amazing luckily. It’s only 8pm on a Saturday night how can they not be taking orders still?“

“Haven't ordered their food in a while. The combination plate prices haven't risen too extravagantly, pleasantly surprised! I ordered the #4 tonight (substituted the chicken fried rice for the pork), and the portions were great! Enough to put away for the next day. The only place I will order my Chinese food. Have been a customer ever since they opened several years back. One happy customer!“

“For restaurants opened by Cantonese people, my personal observation is that there is a greater demand for takeout. The interior environment is good, and the dining area is also large. There are different types of tables. The large round table should be able to seat 10 people. We had dinner that day, and the food portions were large. Based on average Canadian tourists, the price was average to above average, which was acceptable. The waiter is a part-time student and can speak Mandarin and English, while the boss is a Cantonese and can communicate in Cantonese and English.“

“Thankful to have this take out spot so conveniently located. Delicious congee, Cantonese chow mein and pan fried noodles. Will be back.
Parking: A few spots at the back of the building, but it is all that is needed since this is a grab and go place“

Reasonable prices and very good service.

“Good semi fine dining chinese restaurant. There are many options and food combos to choose from. The food is good and of fresh quality. It isn’t salty like other typical chinese food. The presentation is good and portioning is generous. Service is awesome as well! Would actually come back when we’re in the area.“
“This was my first Jianbing ever, even though I visited China thrice.I really liked my tuna. The crisp layers add an awesome texture. Very efficient service made right in the front. But service could be slightly more friendly with a greeting or smile.Really surprised they are not in more locations in the GTA.“

We had a variety of menu items last night for take out, and once again, we enjoyed every single part of our meal! Fast, fresh, hot, crunchy, delicious. Big portions. Friendly staff. Five stars from this house!“

“My wife and I were regular customers of their restaurant from the late 1980's to the early 2000's. We have always enjoyed their food . We occasionally get takeout from them and still enjoy their great food . They still have a great menu and great specials.“

“This is an interesting franchise where the same named dish is not necessarily the same delicious dish every where. This is especially true for the orange beef at the limeridge location. The sauce there is almost candied and delicious. Always worth asking for a bit extra on the beef BUT if you go to the Burlington location the same dis is completely different. The owner of the Hamilton location told me that when other location opened they bought use of the name but not the recipe for orange beef. There is a difference!“

“I go back to this old restaurant every year for gatherings with friends. Memories from when I first came to Canada~ There is no need for a menu when ordering food. Recommended cold dishes: tiger dish and intractable diseases; vegetarian dishes: stir-fried cabbage noodles and meat dishes: chicken pot and grilled skewers. good“

“Super authentic home style Chinese food - very comforting with a cozy, lowkey atmosphere. The food is very fragrant and flavourful, and a great value meal as well. The two dishes chosen for the main dishes were the fried eggplant with pork and sauce, and the braised pork. Additionally, with one generous bowl of rice and a bowl of soup included, the special is a super great value that I would recommend to anyone. This is the type of food that I go to when I miss home the most. I will eagerly continue to come to the restaurant and support the kind and welcoming owners. Definitely recommend!“

“Great chinese food. So surprise that price has not gone up much and portions are still big as it always has. Will keep supporting them since theyve barely raised price and quality and quantity has been constant. My go to when i crave chinese food?.“
“Who would have thought the best Hot & Sour soup in the world is made a block away from where I live?
I've tried it in dozens of restaurants in a half dozen different cities, but this is the best.
All other food is generous with meat and delicious... very pleased with the special Egg Foo Young I tried for the first time today.
God bless them!“

“Got a Schezuan chicken fried rice combo and it only had 5 pieces of chicken in it and they only only give you 1 hot sauce and shit load of plum sauce so make sure you ask for extra hot sauce instead of 4 plum sauce. Overall the food had more veggies than chicken never had this type of food and I’m definitely disappointed lol 5 chicken pieces with a shit load of veggies and fried rice. Get it together guys people are paying money for your food. That’s all. Thanks for the shitty food.“

“Placed order for pick up at 5pm. They were very busy with 5 people ahead of me but they were working as a well oiled machine and I was out of there in under 10 minutes. They apologized and I said there was no need they were doing a great job. My food containers were full to overflowing and they plastic plastic wrap between the food and lids to protect it. It was hot and delicious!!!“

“The lunch special carried my school career, whether it was a good or bad day, going here with my friends was an amazing experience. The atmosphere is enchanting, and the service is very quick. I order the student special when I come here, and the value is unmatched for what you get. Very good, The GOAT of Chinese takeout in the area“
“Came here to order some takeout yesterday. The service was really good, and helpful as it was my first time there. The food we got was amazing too which was recommended by the owner. This will be the go to Chinese food spot now! Also they don’t even ask for tips on the machine which is rare now as you see that everywhere.“

“Christmas Day is an extremely hectic time for our family as we now have a grandchild and a dachshund. So this year we decided on picking up Chinese Food. I went in person on the 23rd to place our order for the 25th. The order was ready on time and was complete, it was a fairly large order. Food was good and plentiful. Considering how busy it was the staff was courteous and on point with the orders.
Parking: Part of a strip plaza so lots of parking.“
