Ordering the lo mein noodle with beef for take-out last week. It was horrible food they made. A giant pile of boiled egg noodle topped with little beef and veggies (sliced carrot) mixed with brown sauce without flavour. The sliced carrots had rotten taste that made me throw up a lot and hurt my stomach.
Never come back.

You can find the best Chinese dishes at this restaurant.
Always come here for the wonton shrimp dumplings! The best in the city.
The best customer service in all of Canada.

A Cantonese restaurant that reminds me of the hidden food spots in the street of China - a large variety of menu items, quick and down to earth service, and a good taste.
Their shrimp is fresh and goes very well with rice. Portions were generous and the flavors were authentic. The service is typical in Cantonese restaurants, efficient, precise, without fancy bells and whistles. We will return to dine again!

Solid spot, but better places in Toronto! Best dish we ordered was the beef with oyster sauce - would go back just for that! They’re cash only and have an atm inside

This place was so nasty and unsanitary, the “clean” tea cups they were putting away were brought in a nasty blue bucket that looked like it had dirt and mold all over it, the place is so filthy, I was facing the kitchen and it just kept getting worse when I was looking in, the food has 0 flavour and there is a nasty smell coming from the dishes.

Good food, with terrible and rude service, and very poor atmosphere!
Don’t be expecting to see respect and courtesy here, or simply be treated as a human. WRONG place!
On top of that, the guy in the front literally forced me to tip in the end. Extremely disappointing! Avoid at any cost!!!
P.S. If this place was in China nowadays, they would go out of business in no time.

Completely utterly disappointed. I so angry. I drove all the way to this restaurant and back home only to find disappointment.
I ordered number 71 Beef black bean sauce and fried noodles ( ITS EXPENSIVE) i asked for LIGHT SAUCE politely of course and when i get home i find my food instead FLOODED WITH SAUCE.
Extremely extremely angry.. just look at the photos.. HAVE YOU EVER had to use over 10 paper towels to remove excess mess on your plate. What a slop!! Disgusted. The noodles are soggy barely fried abd because of this excess sauce they are beyond soggy instead of “fried”

Good food good service
Overall, the food was tasty, it came out quickly and the best part it was hot! Service was quick; however the only thing I would say is that it's very pricey. I got a General Tso chicken. It came with no rice; which has a price of its own when other restaurants offer the chicken WITH rice. I wouldn't go back for the fact that I can get the same for cheaper.

The food was just ok. Not great, not bad. That was all just fine. The problem was when we received the check, we attempted to pay via credit card and we were told cash only. Not expecting to need cash, we only had US currency. We asked if we could pay in US. They said yes. I used a currency conversion app and paid addition money towards a tip. They insisted on more money still. Not ok.
On the way out, I examined the front door. There was no indication this was a cash only restaurant.
