Their menu offers wide variety from clay-pot rice, congee, rice rolls, HK cafe-style baked dishes, fried rice and noodles, reakfast items to proper Chinese wok dishes. House Special Squid & Shrimp (小炒王) $19.99. It has garlic shoot, shrimps, scallops, squid, yam bean (沙角) and deep fried taro slices for crunchiness. This dish was spicy and it goes well as a appetizer along with beer or alcohol to share with friends and family. Signature Free Range Chicken with Red Onin Sauce (half chicken) $18.99 was tasty. The chicken was tender and juicy with burst of shallots and green onion flavours. The sweet soy sauce pairs well with the chicken. This is one of their signature dishes and I recommend this dish. Braised Goose Feet in Abalone Sauce with Snow Pea Leaves $27.99. The goose feet were huge, nicely braised and full of collagen soaking up the rich abalone sauce served over snow pea leaves. This is a special dish and definetely worth trying. Overall I enjoyed this place and have tried other dishes here too previously like beef fried rice, eggplant with minced meat, pork shoulder with veggies, etc. 4 stars and I would definitely come back for more!

Looks like this is a very underrated restaurant; the current average (only 3.2 stars) is in my…read moreopinion way off base. This restaurant has been around for over a decade. I've tried it many times, pre-pandemic all the way up to today. Even when I first came about 8 years ago it was serving decent food at a reasonable price. And to my pleasant surprise this already good restaurant has evolved into being exceptional. Having not been in a few years (- mind you, I tried a couple of times last year but the lineup was too long and I was too hungry to wait), my latest visit was by far the best one yet. The restaurant has really upped their game; from improved tables, seats, interior decor, to a new electronic waitlist system with some seats for you to sit and wait. To top it all off, the food portions are massive and every dish was delicious and well presented. I can now say this is one of the best Cantonese-style Chinese restaurants Toronto has to offer! Tips: - the presentation and portion size is significantly diminished for take out orders compared to dine in - even though they have an electronic waitlist, do be sure to wait inside or within earshot of the restaurant as they seem to call people by number and don't really have time to be texting or waiting around for people to come back so stick around to secure your table if you can - you won't regret it!

Okay given we keep coming back, I will have to upgrade my review to 5-stars!…read more It was so good to find a new HK restaurant that focuses on good taste! The menu here is reasonably priced for the HK cafe food that's available till 5pm. We were impressed by the huge portions & surprisingly good flavours. Baked Fish Fillet w/ Cheese & Cream Sauce was savoury & arrived hot loaded with crispy fillets. Fried rice underneath filled the large oven dish. Curry Beef Brisket Rice was stewed well to achieve really tender tendons. These are still two of our go-to dishes here. We did notice the environment gets loud from time-to-time, when it's fairly packed with patrons but some have split to the new rice roll spot nearby. Skip it or hit it? We will keep moving back and recommending here to our friends for the authentic and hearty HK cafe food.

The only thing I…read moreremember is that most of the servers don't speak English - so make sure someone in your group can speak Cantonese or some mandarin at least.

We stopped by for dim sum on a Saturday and it was pretty quiet when we arrived, with lots of open…read moretables. The food came out quickly, which was a nice plus, but it's worth noting that they don't offer any weekend dim sum specials. The tea was pretty weak and lacked flavour, especially considering it's $2.50 per person, which is more expensive than many nearby dim sum restaurants. We ordered 3 dishes. One of the more unique dishes we tried was the deep-fried pumpkin and sweet potato. It seemed like an uncommon order because several staff members came over to look at it as it was served. The portion was huge for a dim sum dish, with thick slices of pumpkin and sweet potato. Unfortunately, the batter was also thick, which made the dish feel a bit heavy. The fried glutinous dumpling was really good. The wrapper wasn't overly thick, and the filling-to-dough ratio was well balanced. The beef balls were enjoyable, but nothing to particularly write about. Overall, the food was pretty good, and the restaurant was bright and clean, but the value wasn't there. With no weekend specials and the extra tea charge, our bill came to about $30 for just three dishes between the two of us. At most other dim sum spots, that same amount usually gets us a much larger meal. As it got closer to noon, the restaurant started filling up quickly, so it seems like they're more popular for their lunch menu than for dim sum. I probably wouldn't come back for dim sum since there are other places nearby with comparable food at much better prices, but I'd still be open to returning to try their lunch menu!

After reading the reviews, we wanted to give this place a try…read more When we got in here, we didn't realize that this place was more like Canadian/American Chinese food. LOL. We were watching on YouTube and saw that the bloggers were reviewing the location in Richmond Hill. We assumed that the Vaughan location was the same one. So, that was our fault. But, we decided to stay and didn't feel like traveling all the way to the other one. We were immediately seated after we arrived. The place is pretty big, with a very elegant interior. Tables seating up to 4 people line the leftmost wall, which has framed paintings adorning it. Circular tables for groups of 8 sit in the center of the restaurant and on all of the tables are crisp white tablecloths with beautifully folded green cloth napkins. The specials are also written on a framed green chalkboard on the back wall and the place is illuminated by built-in spotlights. We ordered the following: Braised Tofu with vegetables - Daughter liked it a lot. She said that it tasted like Chinese takeout but in a good way. Basa Fish Chili Bean Sauce- This was ok, but I thought the sauce was the same as the other orders. Spicy eggplant with shrimp- Hubs said that this tasted similar to the braised tofu with vegetables and it was ok. Overall, we felt that these 3 entrees and sauce all tasted the same. It was ok but no big deal. This place is located next to a mall, so there was plenty of parking. Service was quick and friendly. We told our server about daughter's peanut allergy and it was noted on our bill. There were quite a few other tables occupied. I'm glad we got a chance to try this place. Always wanted to try Canadian Chinese food!

Def need to make reservation, and its a relatively smaller reso. I would say 4-6 people is max... if more, it will be quite challenging to chitchat. I would highly recommend their steam pork buns and lobster with spicy and crispy bites 避风塘龙虾. Their stinky tofu, salty duck and pork belly was alright. Overall 4/5. Greatful i tried them, but not sure ill come back P.S. their pricing are a bit more expensive than other reso, but they are known for their "authentic" ways for making each dish. So you can be the judge~

Overall, pretty authentic canto dishes with some quality ingredients. Some items I think were really fair priced but others not so much. For example, the oyster mushroom and grouper had 2 small slices of oyster mushroom in it only and portion was not worth $35. The braised beef pot however was really tasty and had good wok hay. They also give complimentary soup and dessert (standard for restaurants of this style). Will come back to try other dishes. FYI 12% tips is included in the bill and there 5% cash discount.
