It's a small pleasant dining room with traditional Chinese instrumental music playing in the background. I spotted the lineup of fried noodles in their classic red plastic basket up on the counter with duck sauce in plastic ramekins. Ahh memories The lunch menu has the biggest throw back ... prices from decades ago so you will be getting a bargain if you stop in for lunch or take your lunch to go. Service is pleasant but a bit slow (They were dealing with takeout orders I think.) but I was in no rush and the music was calming to the spirit. Their Hot and Sour soup was thick with ingredients, flavorfully pleasant, and served at the right temperature. My Szechuan Chicken has eye appeal and it was served with a hill of rice. It's always good when the vegetables crunch and these did. Their sauce was tasty and my lunch was really good. My fortune cookie reminded me to take moments to find joy and as the music plays I am glad I stopped in because the world seems far away, the food was good, and I am at peace even though I would have loved to get on my feet to wok and roll!! Definitely worth a visit!!

Really impressed with this restaurant that, despite its humble strip mall location, goes beyond…read moreexpectations in terms of flavor and menu creativity. There are a lot of Canadian/American-Chinese dishes on the menu but it goes beyond that and has things that I'm guessing are more authentic to China and a few fusion dishes also. I was particular impressed by the soft pepper noodle with beef or chicken. I had it with beef and it has a fantastic black pepper flavor and luscious thick noodles with just enough vegetables to give some texture. I'm including a photograph from mid-meal. It might not be beautiful but it's a stand out dish in flavor. One item to skip... The fried wontons. While ours were very crispy (and hot), the predominant flavor was fryer oil and the tiny (truly tiny) bits of ground pork in the wontons didn't help. Also, check out the combination plates if you want some of this and some of that instead a lot of one thing. They are near the back of the menu and are NEAR the lunch only plates but the combination plates are in fact available at night.

I was seated and immediately served complimentary tea, and fried wontons with sweet and sour sauce. I ordered the Kung Pao lunch special which comes with a choice of egg roll or soup, and white or vegetable friend rice. I chose the wonton soup and fried rice, and I ordered an egg roll as well. The egg roll came out quickly, and the lunch special was served right when I finished that. The food was good and the dish was spicy (Kung Pao is supposed to be spicy but it never is-- not for me) and the service was polite. When the check came it was accompanied by a plate with two slices of orange and a fortune cookie. The only thing I didn't like about the visit was that there was an advertisement for a big commercial law firm on the back of the fortune slip and the "lucky number" was the phone number. I thought that was tacky. I walked out at 1:15pm. Great, quick lunch.

We tried the L9 Lobster Dinner for Two ($79), which came with three different dim sum dishes. We…read morealso got four pieces of shrimp as a surprise complimentary dish, and chose to have the lobster steamed with garlic butter. The dim sum was just okay, but the highlight of the show was definitely the lobster! It was steamed just right--tender, juicy, and full of flavour. The vermicelli noodles underneath were delicious too. I actually thought they were just there for decoration at first, but no, they're definitely edible! The lobster was cleaned so nicely that I didn't even need to use the special pliers to crack the shell further. Service was friendly, and there's also a 5% discount for paying in cash, which is always a nice bonus. Overall, come for the lobster, don't forget to enjoy those delicious garlic-butter-soaked vermicelli noodles underneath!

This was THE BEST CHINESE FOOD I HAVE HAD IN MY LIFE!!!…read more 5 of us had different entrees, among them: lemon chicken, 1/2 Royal Duck; General Tso Chicken; Emperor' special; Moore Goo Gai Pan.

There's been a few times I was going to order here, but then backed out. I think when it comes to Chinese food, we tend to get attached to a favorite place, even if you know in your heart that the food doesn't quite hit like it once did. I'm glad I finally decided to pull the trigger. In the past, I would have put Tsingtao house in a category of more upscale, pricier, Chinese restaurant...but these days, even the hole in the walls are pricey! Truthfully, for what I ordered at Tsingtao, I thought the prices were a tremendous value, given the quality of the food is top tier! My recommendation is anything with garlic sauce! So freaking good!

So! Out of everything i ordered (see pics) I didn't try the soup dumpling but my kiddo (who are the whole steamer) said it was good. Everything was hot and delicious and taste like NYC dim sum (iykyk) except -the turnip cake (too oily and mushy) - fried dough noodle (too much wrapping, dough not fresh and crispy enough) - egg tarts (new and only available on weekends according to their menu - I am a BIG egg tarts fan and unfortunately these were disappointing: crust was fine but filling was baked eggs and not the classic flan-like type of an egg tarts). 3-4 other families came in for dim sum, it was more lively and they turned on low classical music so lovelier ambiance than when we first walked in. Wait staff was very friendly and polite. Only negative thing were the sticky plastic spoons they gave to share the congee bowl. After recovering from a recent stomach bug I have to be super critical of dining utensils so gotta ding a star off for that. Prices were more expensive than normal for dim sum but we were expected that - just glad they didn't decrease the quantity like some places! All in all, we would come back again for dim sum :)
