Paint peeling off the furniture, cracks in the fixtures, etc. service was standard for a casual Chinese place. Nothing to write home about our but still fine. Food was fine. Nothing spectacular. We ordered: Radish cake - served in cubes and fried with chili. Pretty good. 4/5. Fried tofu with crispy peas. Not sure what it was called exactly but the tofu cubes were coated in something making them super smooth but crunchy. Served with fried peas. Those were too hard but the tofu was great. Overall 4/5 dish. HK style chow mein. A classic. Sadly they noodles came out mostly soggy and mushy already with only a few edges still crispy. The greens in the dish were overcooked. The proteins were mostly fine but some of the bbq pork in it tasted stale bordering on foul. Like they tried to salvage leftover bbq pork that should have gone in the trash. 1/5 due to the pork. Otherwise it's a 3/5 dish. Overall 3/5 is fair, giving them some benefit of the doubt for the noodles. Abundant free parking out front. No wait at lunch time on a weekday.

There's a huge selection of soup bases, meats, seafood, vegetables, noodles, and sauces, so everyone at the table can customize their hot pot exactly how they like it. This is one of the best hot pot experiences I've had. All the ingredients were fresh and of great quality. The staff are very attentive and make sure of providing the best customer experience. They have a sauce buffet and dessert buffet for extra charge. Also semi-buffet is available every night from 8:30pm. The atmosphere is lively; they make hand-pulled noodles at your table and have special performances throughout the meal.

The AYCE comes with your choice of one soup base for free, but you can get multiple split pots for an additional cost. You get your DIY sauce station with light snacks on the side like fruit, edamame beans, tomatoes, etc. With the AYCE late night special, you have to get up to grab all your own ingredients other than the meats that get brought out to you. Of course the menu selection is smaller than their usual dining but it's quite worth it imo. You can get proteins like marbled beef, lamb shoulder, pork, chicken, and flat iron steak. For the other hot pot classics and vegetable options you can find things like quail eggs, frozen tofu, fish tofu, konjac noodles, imitation crab, assortment of fish balls, cabbage, enoki mushroom, and much more. Service is great as always and very attentive. You can expect long waits even late at night so best to make a reservation in advance. Overall, a great deal with some great food, especially if you're looking for some late night eats.

This time I ordered the same pork belly with pickled veggies, tomato soup based suancai fish, and Dan Dan noodles.

This is always one of my favourite restaurants.

The dining room was quiet and wide open. Each table was huge. We really liked their tea. It has tangerine peel and some flowers. It was really tasty.

I LOVE dumplings so I've tried many dumpling places and this is the BEST one I've encountered in…read morethe Greater Toronto Area. The variety of dumplings offered is second to none, all handmade, and bursting with ingredients, a mixture of textures, and flavour. Here are the Rainbow steam dumplings deciphered: - black is pork with scallop - green is pork and shrimp - red is spicy pork - blue is pork and crab - white is original pork - yellow is pork and salted egg yolk My personal favourite was the pork and salted egg yolk but I've tried many of their boiled, steamed, and pan fried dumplings, as well as some dishes like the fried eggplant and the red bean pancake. All are practically faultless and delicious! The service is also good and speak English as well as Chinese. The restaurant is spacious with many tables and bright, cultural decor. Tip: they offer discount if you pay in cash.

Steamed, boiled, or pan‑fried, everything is made fresh to order with a great variety of fillings. The steamed dumplings are the standout--juicy, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a dumpling‑focused spot. They do offer other dishes, but most of them feel just okay. Honestly, I'd rather save the stomach space for more dumplings. The Xiao Long Bao was only so‑so for me; the wrapper was on the thicker, chewier side, which took away from the experience. There are also some great-value specials--like the $2.99 braised pork neck bone, which was surprisingly tasty. Note: they accept cash or debit only. The interior is spacious, and service is fast and friendly, making it an easy and satisfying stop when the dumpling craving hits.

I recommend trying to get here before or after the lunch rush, because this line gets LONG, so much so that they have a dedicated line on weekends for their boxed rice specials. The BBQ is worth it though! Recently, we decided to visit for yum cha because, well, that's what they actually sell haha. It's best to arrive before 10:30am on weekends for reduced wait times. We ordered our usual: har gow, siu mai, cheung fun, turnip cake, sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf, and steamed BBQ pork bao. We also got some of their more unique items like their recommended BBQ pork buns (they look like mini pineapple buns), deep fried milk curd, and deep fried shrimp salad rolls. Overall, I found that their deep fried items and BBQ pork buns were pretty good, but their siu mai and cheung fun weren't up to par. Although this spot isn't a top pick for dim sum for me, I'd still keep coming back for their Chinese BBQ and for the convenience of parking & location.

The chicken flavor was nice since they put both soy sauce around it and you can add additional scallion ginger. Some pieces of the chicken was a little tough though. The lobster was also delicious. My favorite was the yuzu ribs. However, the taste was not consistent. When we ordered it as part of the meal deal, there was more meat and was softer. When we came back another day to order à la carte, it had less meat. The Peking duck was also good, but they didn't cut enough meat off the duck before taking it away. We got the eggplant and shrimp, but the eggplant was overcooked and burnt sticking to the pan. When we got the meal deal, the servers came by to constantly changed out our dirty plates. This is not the case when you don't order the meal deal. I appreciated how they give complementary cookies and jelly after your meal along with some sweet porridge. I also liked how they changed the flavor of the jelly and porridge every time we went back.

Service: Friendly but not very attentive. We had some of our 'test' dishes, the ones we use to compare. Mapo Tofu. 2/5. The tofu was fresh. The pork was very sparse and it was over thickened. It was almost jelly. Let's just say, it was like when you have a cold. Beef rice noodle with black bean sauce. 4/5. This dish had a good 'wok hei' flavour. This dish was also over thickened. The prices are reasonable especially for these days. If they can ease up on the corn starch/thickener, it could be much better. I will give this place another try.

Although there is a lot of parking in this plaza, there are times when there is hardly any available spots. Service is quick and efficient every time I've gone. The menu is HK-style café with a wide range of options, so there's something for everyone. I've tried quite a bit from their menu over time, and nothing has been disappointing. One thing I appreciate is that they don't over-season their food, especially with salt. Most of their meals come with drinks and a choice of soup and they have CREAM SOUP! It's much rarer to find a place that still offers it nowadays. Drinks are also better than average compared to the surrounding hk styled cafes in this plaza. I'd come back because it's reliable and easy to enjoy, especially with a small group of people!
