Review from Jasmine T.

5/11/2012 7 Check-ins Here
Sometimes I just crave regular ol' typical Chinese food.
I have decided to make only enough food at dinner because I hate leftovers dying in the fridge... then I curse myself because I could have brought the extras for work. Since I don't think ahead, I venture out into my work neighbourhood.
This restaurant has been around for a really long time... It was the office standard before the Taiwanese place moved in next door. When we would dine in, you were greeted by the lovely lady who sat at the cash. A server would tell you which table to choose (window seat please because I love the view of Kingsway) and drop off some menus... followed by the standard tea. We only order from the lunch special menu... usually a #77 (small hot and sour soup) and a #13 (BBQ and bean curd on rice) for me. Oh and they have coke in a can. The soup is hit and miss... sometimes it's nice and sour, other times just spicy. I can always count on the bean curd and rice those. Soft pillows of tofu with bbq pork on rice... Their prices have gone up, but not enough to deter me from going... buck maybe. If I am feeling adventurous, there is beef and green beans in black bean sauce on rice... yummy.
I dine in very rarely now because now one wants to come with me... the only person who does, I have to cover her lunch at work. So I take out now... a fried rice can last me three days at work... Oh, the chicken and bean sprouts chow mein is dry noodles with no sauce. I was expecting something a la On Lok, but it's not the same. -

When you get here, they seat you by pointing their finger. "go sit". If you don't move because your still confused by the rude introduction, then the lady will walk you to the tabe and say "Ok, here good" and leave.
You will then be left yo figure out what to eat.
"this places food is bland". I did not like it.
We ordered 5 dishes.
Sliced beef,
beef vegetable,
chicken fried rice,
chicken w/ cream corn on rice,
chicken on crispy noodle,
wonton noodle soup.
Bland

Unwilling never eat here again and I reccomrnd that you skip this place too
If you don't have plates or bowls on your tables ( from the 60's I should add), don't worry they will come.
Along with the food they just splash onto your table, they throw the dishes at you too. Lol.
Check the plates for previous customers lipstick. I am not kidding. Check
Refills forget it.
I had water and didn't even get a refill.
The place is cheap. And maybe that's why the service SUCKS. The HOG.
Don't go here trust me. It's bad. -

Met some collegues here for lunch.
Had the curry vermecelli and chinese greens - tasty and not oily or greasy.
The others had Wonton noodle soup and a nice vegetarian stirfry - they looked good and tasty - and that was the consensus of the other two.
Green tea and ice water. Service was ok- and the meals arrived quickly and hot - no complaints here.
Price? - pretty reasonably priced.
I'll be back. -

One of my favorite restaurants. Good food, friendly waitresses. Decent prices. What more can you ask for. Get the dinner special - 2 dishes plus soup, rice, and fortune cookies. I recommend the spicy squid, singing chicken hot pot, spicy chicken ... everything is good though.
