Upside was that it was very inexpensive.

Update Nov 9/25: Ruby never ceases to amaze me! Just when…read moreyou thought all wonton soups are the same, I just tried their small takeout portion and OMG this is the best wonton soup and there's no close second! I've never seen wontons so huge with so much meat in them! Even cutting the wonton in half I couldn't fit the half in my mouth! And the best part is that in addition to the pork wonton there were also chunks of sliced pork mixed in with the broth! The ratio of wonton and pork to soup base was easily 90% meat and 10% soup! Look at the photos I just added and see for yourself! ----------- Original review: We decided to come this restaurant for my birthday this past Monday on a recommendation from my neighbor. WOW we made a great choice! Not sure what some of the negative reviewers were expecting, but our entire experience was perfection! Dine-in: Yes we knew ahead of time this restaurant was mostly take-out, but they still have dine-in, and sure it's not a 5-star seating experience, but if that's what you want, then go pay 100x more an an upscale restaurant. Growing up in NYC, the dine-in experience here reminded me of almost every Chinese restaurant on Canal Street (Chinatown in lower Manhattan) - very authentic, where the focus is on the food and service, not the seating and decor, so we all actually enjoyed the atmosphere. Food: There were 4 of us (all very big eaters and starving) so we ordered the "Dinner for Four Q" special: 4 egg rolls, chicken fried rice, chicken Chow Mein, beef with broccoli, sweet & sour chicken balls and breaded jumbo shrimp PLUS the lemon chicken (highly recommended by my neighbor). WOW was the food outstanding! HUGE portions (we were using the other tables to place the food trays) and all very tasty and authentic! The chicken balls were 90-95% mostly tender juicy meat (not mostly breading like other places), and the lemon chicken was the best I've ever had (trust me, I've tried hundreds from other restaurants) and they did not hold back on the sauce - half the container box filled with it, of which was spectacular, not tasteless and overly tangy like other sauces)! We were all stuffed and every single dish we ordered was still at least half full! Today is Friday and I'm still enjoying left-overs! (since it was my b-day I took most of the leftovers ) Service: All the food came piping hot and fresh very fast! Ruby was a ray of sunshine full of joy, constantly smiling, making sure we had everything we needed, and even cracking a few jokes during our festivities. She even re-packaged all the leftovers in bags without us even having to ask! For our first time dining at this restaurant all of us meeting up coming from Toronto, London and Guelph for my birthday, we are so glad we chose this restaurant, and will all be making the trek back (individually and collectively) to this restaurant, as everything was PERFECTION! Thank you Ruby for the excellent food and service, and the fun and amazing experience - we will see you again soon!

After a long morning we wanted something quick and decided to try this restaurant out. The couple…read morewho attended us were very accommodating and we requested no egg, meats, dairy or fish sauces be used. The chef was kind enough to show us the sauce he was going to use. Ordered two lunch specials - Mixed Vegetables and Tofu , one on steamed rice and the other on fried rice. Both made vegan. Fairly good, although it needed some a bit more spice to make it better. Absence of or very low usage of ginger and garlic may also be the cause. But the ingredients fresh as they can be, the steamed rice cooked perfectly and fried rice made good as well. Love their customer service and flexibility to accommodate us. Definitely coming back for some other dishes.

The restaurant itself appeared clean & well cared for. The server (owner) was very polite & efficient in her work. I had the $15.99 "Dinner for One-Special". It was fried rice with Sweet & Sour Chicken balls & General Tao Chicken. All tasty but none of the dishes really "popped" out to me. There was nothing wrong with this spot except the food lacked any real taste to speak of. If you live in the area it's likely worth going but this isn't a destination restaurant. This is 4-star but it isn't a do over for me.
