I was a bit apprehensive that my friend told us to go to a sketchy looking Elmwood diner today for…read moredinner. I'm glad we went. Now it goes without saying - it's not a romantic place. It's a dive. A diner. There are weirdos lurking about (one asked us if we wanted to buy a lighter for $1.50 lolwut). The inside is dark... and not in the best way possible. It smells like chemical cleaners but at least you know they clean the restaurant. The menu is pretty good! Lots of stuff. They offer all-day breakfast and a modest amount of dinner/lunch stuff. My friends got the Cajun Chicken sandwich and apparently it was good. Their poutine was damn good. I didn't have the poutine (regretfully so) because every time I go to a diner, their poutines usually don't taste like the ones in Quebec. The gravy on their poutine was perfect but I wish they used 'curds. Oh well, what can you do, right? I ordered the mushroom swiss burger. SO GOOD. I had a hard time deciding what to order because everything on the menu was really good tasting. I got soup on the side, creamy bacon vegetable chowder to be exact - EXCELLENT. They used generous amounts of bacon and cream. So rich, not good if you're on a diet. :p Overall, good price for huge portions. It's about under $10 for a meal. Our server was also very nice. He spoke to us a lot, was very friendly and made our visit very enjoyable. If most waiters in Winnipeg were like him, I'd be very happy. Thumbs up to Charlee's. Will go again if I'm in the area.

Went there yesterday, the Hot and Sour soup looked good, but had absolutely no taste! I don't know…read morehow they managed to do that. It used to be good last year and prior. Now, no Hot and no Sour, totally void of taste. Very few dishes had green peppers, only a few slivers of carrots, and mostly broccoli and onions for veg. Also, absolutely NO taste. We had a similar experience a few months ago, so we avoided the place, but figured maybe it was an off day, so we went back. But that's the end of it, not paying for tasteless food any more.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE?…read more Went here recently for lunch. Was expecting the buffet they used to have, and found out all they were offering were combo plates. Three different meat choices -- sweet and sour ribs, dry breaded pork, or sesame chicken -- with rice or noodles, and with Chop Suey, and consomme to start. $9.99, and you could also get another or extra order of meat for an additional $3.00. No regular menu in effect, or at least we weren't offered one I ordered the sweet and sour ribs, and it took me back to 1973, when I lived in the bush, in a town with no Chinese restaurant, and we were all cooking from recipes from Wok with Yan! The rice was okay (it's hard to screw up fried rice); the Chop Suey reminded me of the two can format of Chun King, and the ribs were like those cooked in a pot on the stove by my mother, with the ketchup/brown sugar sweet and sour sauce, and the meat with rubbery bones and all! I had the Sesame Chicken on the side as an extra; it was dry, with no sauce. And no soy sauce or salt and pepper on the table? Like, WTF? All in all a rather pathetic experience. My advice: don't bother.

The restaurant is located down Notre Dame in Winnipeg. We ordered three dishes to share: - pinakbet with bagnet - calamari - pancit bihon guisado All dishes were good, but my favourite was the pinakbet with bagnet. It contains an array of vegetables including eggplant, squash, bitter melon, okra, and garlic stems that's cooked in shrimp paste, onions and tomatoes, and topped with crispy bagnet aka pork belly that is first boiled and then deep fried till crispy.

I went with a Foodies group who have been here before and the organizer raved about it. I love dim sum so I knew it was an event I didn't want to miss. I took a bus an hour and a half to get to the location and it was worth it! Definitely recommend sharing dishes with 1 or 2 other people so you can try many things. Also I love how their dim sum menu has pictures of all the items so a newbie can see what they are ordering - very helpful!
