The place isn't the cleanest, so expectations should be set accordingly, but the food delivers where it matters. The highlight for me was the lamb fried noodles -- flavorful, satisfying, and easily the standout dish. The Chinese burgers were decent: I tried the crispy marinated beef and the steamed pulled pork. Both had good flavor, but I was a bit surprised they came out cold, which makes me think the proteins are pre-cooked and assembled rather than freshly made to order. Overall, I'd rate the burgers around 3 stars, the noodles 4 stars, and cleanliness about 3 stars. If you care more about taste and value than ambiance, it's worth a visit.

Wholesome, all you can eat hotpot place with a mid high price…read more We went on a weekend, made reservation for 6, but the table wasn't ready for another 15 min after we got there.   This is a fairly casual, home-style establishment. Tables were quite tightly packed.  No fancy interior design or decorations at all. Instead they focus on the quality of their ingredients.  Their beef and 'home made balls' were definitely one of the better ones.  Even the veggies were very good. The cooked food,  particularly deep fried chicken wings were incredible. Quality similar to those of 'wo fungs'  The only gripe I have about this place was that not only the base price for all you can eat was somewhat high. 38 or 45bucks (choice of regular and deluxe menu),  many other items were considered extras.  Like sauces, fish tofu, oyster. Pop and drinks were $3 each, while most places ayce place just charge you one set fee for unlimited refills. (Since you naturally eat less when you drink more). Regardless, still pretty good experience overall. Will likely be back, but only be going with friends who can eat their money's worth.  Food 9, Service 8, Ambiance 6, Value 7

Hot pot anytime !! A hidden gem on Victoria drive…read more The restaurant is small so we waited 30min even though we had a reservation. The manager was very apologetic about this. They have a 1.5 hour seating per table but they did not rush us out after It would be nice if they have better fans/vents that take out the steam. You and your clothes will smell like hot pot after! To make ordering easier, paper ordering sheets are given to each table. It's helpful that the sheets are in English and Chinese There are lots of option for hot pot items, even for those who are adventurous (pork intestine, uterus, pork blood, gizzard ) The waygu beef slices, house made balls, and fried chicken were my favorite But they do charge for side garlic, side green onions to add to the dipping sauce (soy sauce and satay sauce) $31.99 for adults and $19.99 for kids $7.99 - $9.99 for the soup base Lots of free street parking

I would return for their lunch menu/mini size as the portions are quite large for $13. They're also really efficient and fast, and take out usually takes 15mins. They have tons of tables inside but note that they're sometimes all taken around lunch time so it's best to go at an off time if you want to eat in.

Peking Duck course was fantastic. Food was more than enough for 4 people. Duck lettuce wrap was fantastic we couldn't finish all of it. Hot and Sour Soup was rather sour than spicy. It was not the best, but tasted alright though. My parents would've liked the soup to be a bit spicy. Sliced pork with garlic was good. Deluxe Fried Rice was fresh and tasty. Staff was helpful bringing water and more Hoisin sauce. Food was pretty good. We ended up taking some leftovers home. It was a wonderful dining experience at Chongqing!

Surprising good takeout style Chinese food place kitty corner to Metropolis…read more Parking is available but very limited in the lot next to the building. There is also street parking nearby. The place used to be a fried chicken (fast food) joint way back, so the seating area is actually not that large. Most of the space is taken up by the kitchen. Staff are friendly and professional. The food is typical mid end banquet style, but the flavours are good, and the value is there. Lettuce wrap - standard restaurant fare. Decent quality. Fried green bean - nice and spicy, thanks to the house chili sauce. They can tune the spiciness on this one. Default is on the spicier side. Tasty. Shanghai fried noodles - standard restaurant fare. Hot & sour soup - better than the competition. Not sure what's special about it, but it stood out. Chongqing deluxe fried rice - one of their signature dishes. Great mix of flavour. Crispy rice with shrimp soup - honestly this would be the one dish that wasn't that great. Rice blocks were crispy, but the shrimp soup was nothing special. I'd skip this dish. Other than the crispy rice, everything is pretty standard compared to similar places out there. Expectations were met. Very good value. I'd gladly eat here again. Recommended.

Once inside, the decor has a beautiful, ancient Chinese feel. We ordered a spice level 2 for Sichuan-style fish and smoked bamboo shoots with pork, and while both dishes definitely had a kick, they were deliciously spicy.

Tried smoked pork fried rice, chow mein noodles, pork belly casserole dish, and pork wrap! The chow mein was not what I was expecting... the texture of the noodles were like instant noodles.

The smoked meat rice was interesting and also very flavourful.
