Duc de Sourire

The most petty all you can eat I have ever been to.
Hard pass if you wanna get enough food.
6 people get only one small hot pot.
Random restrictions and you cannot get enough food you want (like beef).
Ridiculous overtime charges.
Rude service.
They even charge for bottled water and they do not serve tap water.
I have never seen a shop that does round up in this way. They charge you extra money.

Came back after years and drove 1.5 hours from Toronto — and it was still worth it.

$35 per person for all-you-can-eat hot pot (1 hour 45 min limit), with up to 3 rounds of ordering per table.

The ingredients are fresh, especially the chicken and lamb. But the real highlight? The legendary house dipping sauce. The original owner reportedly brought the recipe from Thailand in the 90s — it’s rich, garlicky, and packed with flavor. For anyone with a Sichuan/Guizhou palate, it hits the soul.

After cooking everything, save some room for rice noodles — dip them in the sauce for the perfect finish. You can even buy the sauce now ($5 for 2 small jars).

Also recommend the coconut slush — still exactly the same as years ago.

The original owner has retired, and his son has taken over. The memories, remain. This was more than just a meal — it was a taste of my student years and all the emotions that came with it.

As you walk in you’re greeted by the exquisite aromas of money laundering

I used to visit this place often when I lived in Guelph, and now that I live in Toronto, I miss it so much. I still visit once a year, and the owner always remembers us and welcomes us warmly. They may not give a big smile, but you can feel their sincerity and kindness. It’s a hardworking family business, and they always serve dishes with fresh ingredients. I can’t explain exactly what makes it special, but the taste here is truly unique — so delicious and fulfilling every time.

This place reminds me of Karen's Diner, but not explicitly advertised as such. Food is great and delicious and prices are so good I'm surprised how they can stay in business. They start you off with every dish and you can keep ordering more rounds, each and every item was high quality and amazing. Though only the food deserves praise, and if you object to that, then maybe you should not be allowed to be a member.

Vegetarian options: great

Dietary restrictions: great

Kid-friendliness: no kids but maybe

Wheelchair accessibility: great

after all the reviews I still give it a try. Actually it’s not bad, or I can say it’s good! Very traditional HK hot pot, foods are fresh. That’s the key about hot pot, fresh foods, light broths and good sauces. They have all the key elements. Besides the environment it’s a oolddd! But just imagine yourself in an indoor 大排檔. The options aren’t too much, but they have the essential and it’s way enough for a hot pot.

It was dirty and messy. There was a strange smell when you walked in. The floor was dirty and the cloth chairs were soaked with starch. How can the kitchen be so clean in this environment?

I'm going to re-write my review because the owner here is wildly unprofessional and they are quite inappropriate.

I had a negative experience while eating here with a "member". They seem to exclude people from membership, you can easily go on Reddit to find out who they exclude.

They will keep ranting. Good for them.
Just go somewhere else.

Great food, fast service!
This is my second visit.
This time, I learned how to slow down and better enjoy everything.
The mango drink went really well with the hot pot.
Will definitely come back regularly.

You will find out this place has the most horrible attitude and poor experience. The restaurant owner will yell at customers for nonsens. If you don't want to be treated poorly, choose another restaurant.

Great food and experience.
I do understand why people in the reviews get upset. Lol, I would say if you feel that the owner is rude, that's why it's authentic hahaha. I can feel that the owner and his family don't care to make EVERYONE satisfied. They are more like if you get it you are welcome if not just don't bother to come. I don't feel that anyone is rude. But yeah they are not gonna treat you like a king for sure. I only had expectations on food, and it exceeded my expectations.
Hey, they don't even ask for any tips. Like I said, It is authentic Hongkong style。
