Variety : the menu in font 6 calibri for 4 pages : front and back ....like ross says 3. Presentation : lack of greens but yes 4. Flavor : spring rolls ace but the duck died for no reason Cons Parking : busy street , busy place , bang on the intersection Space: a little bit constrained , constant fear that a bowl of soup might land on you Overall my ranking of dishes Spring roll : fresh crispy and batter had adequate sweetness , Chicken in black bean sauce : fresh veggies and chicken in very flavorful sauce Prawn dumplings : steamed , tasty Noodle : crisp fried , crispy even in broth Fish in lemon sauce : battered fish was good , lemon sauce gave me cough syrup vibes but maybe that's only me Duck soup

HIGHLY RECOMMEND…read more Stopped by for the first time to have a special meal on our 47th wedding anniversary. We were hoping to have Sesame Chicken--it's not easy to find in Ottawa. They had it. Yay! We started with hot tea, followed by Hot and Sour Soup, followed by Eggplant and Fried Tofu in Spicy Garlic Sauce on Rice, and Sesame Chicken. The food was really a blast of wonderful flavors--and served steaming hot! Outstanding!

I'll try to be as…read moreunbiased as possible since this has been my og go-to place with my family + the previous owner has basically watched me grow up at this point. But truly, the food here tastes as authentic as it can get in Ottawa and very comparable to the AMAZING food you'd find in Toronto/markham. It brings memories back from HK cha cha tengs (ifykyk). We usually come for lunch, but the photo attached is from their set dinner menu. If you come for lunch our go-to is usually the baked porkchop rice (classic), wonton soup, satay beef noodles, hot and sour soup, pad thai, and ofc their milk tea. The previous owner still works here from time-to-time helping out and the new owner that took over is also just as great. Just make sure to plan your trip here accordingly, as during rush hours, you may need to wait for an open table - but so worth it.

The potstickers were fantastic and you could tell were made in house. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the price for just 4. I should've stopped my order there, but I made the mistake of adding some General Chicken. It was made using dark meat which is fine, but the meat itself was very fatty and grisly. The sauce had good flavor, but I couldn't get past the texture of the chicken. I ended up only eat 3-4 pieces and throwing out the rest. I wonder if there's an option for white meat chicken instead.

Food is fine, but service was unfortunately how I expect sometimes when two young looking Asian…read morewomen dine in an Asian restaurant. We were seated fast but a good 15 mins passed and we ended up writing down our own order and had to flag one of the waitresses that were walking by us numerous time setting empty tables to pay us any attention. Food, again, was fine, but the lack of service and attention really ruined it for me. We requested a refill on tea and bags, and the man (owner?) just brought the bags when I am positive he heard my tea request, but why bring it when he could just get us out quicker and not spend 10¢ on a tea bag and hot water. There were families also seated where promptly and continuously attended too. Sadly, this is a problem I find in many ethnic restaurants even when I look the same as them. Sometimes it doesn't matter how good the food is, if you experience bad service or a lack there of compared to other tables, then it can really make you never want to go back to have to experience that again.

Staff were always coming to the table to clear which was nice. Food came pretty quickly. Staff... Brisk. Not friendly per se but professional. You just order from the tablet, pics included. Green tea comes complimentary but you have to ask for it. I really loved the tempura scallops and still think about them all the time, minus the mayo. So yummy. Parking wasn't a problem either. Fri afternoon, not too busy but you can tell the place is popular. My picky sushi friend lives far from here and comes here all the time. It's her fave so, that says a lot. Left stuffed. No room for dessert. Bathrooms, clean. My one tip besides getting yourself a green tea is like me, bring your own cayenne pepper. I like all my food very spicy and they had no chili sauce nor oil on the table?? Staff said that that would another couple of bucks. Nahhh....

Some decent options for vegans such as Avocado, Avocado Cucumber, Sweet Potato, Tofu rolls and hand rolls. Edamame was very less seasoned Some Spicy Korean Tofu and Fried Rice were also enjoyed. But ordering them to make sure they don't contain eggs or other items was a challenge. The server spoke very little English and that made it difficult. Would have given an extra if not for that shortcoming. Omnivores do get value for money, vegetarians a bit but vegans not so much.

I asked my wife what she would rate this place. She said 4.6 In general, we've been fairly…read moreunderwhelmed with Chinese food in Ottawa, so much so that my wife, by the end of our trip said "the best Chinese food in Ottawa is now when I make it at home after going to T&T." This is not because she is the world's greatest cook but because most of the offerings are pretty ordinary. All that said Peking Duck is an exception. We ordered the Peking Duck and while expensive at 88 dollars it was enough for a meal for the two of us. It felt elegant and of very high quality. I've had Peking duck a few times and no where near as good as this. In any case, this was our favorite Chinese place after 4 months living in Ottawa. Not sure about the rest of the menu, but probably worth a try and we might go back. Only downsides are it might be a bit expensive for what it is, and the restaurant is near the Byward Market. The restaurant is very nice but Byward is one of the few spots in Ottawa, that as an American I find to feel a bit sketchy at night.

My bottom line recommendation - please avoid this place. The food is at best mediocre. It is…read morecertainly far from authentic or even delicious. All dishes are overpriced. Simply no value. The service is incredibly bad. They had us waiting for over an hour for our dishes. When asked repeatedly they said that the food is being cooked. Then they finally admitted that the food ticket "fell down" and was missed by the kitchen staff. The ambience and decor are terrible. And there are hygiene issues. Please avoid this place. There are many other amazing restaurants in Ottawa that would serve delicious Chinese dishes and will have the superior Canadian polite service at a very reasonable price in a great setting. This is simply not that place.
