Myself and coworkers ordered food from there a couple months back. The delivery man was VERY…read moredisrespectful AND the food wasn't packed right so everything was soggy and sauce was everywhere. We sent it back and they called back saying they were not bringing us food again and that we are banned from ordering from there again. It's been over a year and they still refuse to let us order. They are childish and refuse to own up to THEIR mistakes. If I could rate this place 0 stars I would.

You order at the counter and they bring you the food at the table. The wontons are piping hot. Vinegar, sriracha, soy sauce and hot oil is on each table for self serve. The decor is the same minimalist one as when it opened. They seem to have opened up the back room. If this keeps the price down, it's fine with me.

The restaurant is pretty popular and busy especially around the lunch hour (when I went). There are…read moresome sitting in front and farther back. I had the pork mushroom wontons with peanut sauce and tried some noodles from a family memeber. The wontons, peanut sauce and the noodles were delicious and flavorful.

If I could give zero stars I would. I ordered $70 worth of…read morefood, don't be fooled by the price the portions are garbage compared to any other Chinese restaurant around. They have a buffet also and pretty sure they use some of those items in the orders. Just to say the order I received did not reflect what I ordered. When I asked for the noodles that where missing I asked for in the first time they gave me noodle chips. After calling for the 3rd time (I know I normally don't but that's all I wanted, noodles) they mentioned it would cost me more $$ and obviously waaaay later from now. Could have handled it better as for management, the lady on the phone tried. Would never recommend and again I don't really do this but it was time.

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.

Lots of duck eggs in the congee, but lacked shredded pork. Decent size, can get to share for 2 people. Would get the congee again, but with other toppings. Steamed sticky rice in lotus leaf - Undercooked, rice was not soft. filling was bland and lacked texture. Would not recommend. Seems like this place is a hit or miss with their items.

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.
