Mr Congee? Who would have thought, supposedly a go to place for their roast duck per my friends,…read morelet's go! A large restaurant, strange design with booth seating down the middle of the floor plan essentially dividing the restaurant in half. Noticed when I walked in, almost every table had the roast duck dish, large families had the whole roast duck, smaller families had the half portion. Dishes ordered- whole roast duck, beef ong choy (water spinach), clam mushroom veg, chicken gravy crispy noodles. Ali dishes large and plentiful Roast duck dish came out first, expertly carved like a surgeon on a cadaver (yeah, bad analogy, my apologies). Each succulent piece resting in a flavorful sauce of duck juice, grease, oil and I don't know what, it was just good. Protip, dip the duck in the accompanied sweet sauce to cut the greasiness of the duck. The clam mushroom veg dish was good, not sure if describing this dish as a veg dish is accurate. I recognized the green peas pods, however there were slices of a green melon type veg which was delicious. My very Cantonese friend ordered this dish, I neglected to ask for the proper name as I was too busy stuffing my mouth. The beef ong choy (water spinach) in fermented bean curd was ok, nothing special. However, beef was decent, not over tenderized. The chicken gravy crispy noodle dish was excellent, plenty of crispy noodles with tasteful gravy and chicken bits. Gotta have my carbs. Topped off with a free sago green bean dessert. Star of the show was the roast duck, a must try for poultry loving aficionados. So much food,, we had plenty of leftovers to take home.

Amazing Chinese food. Highly recommend the spice & pepper salt pork chop. Crispy, juicy, and…read moreperfectly seasoned. The snow pea leaf w/ king mushroom was also being had at multiple tables, so we ordered it as well and it made sense why everyone was ordering it. So good. The staff here are plentiful and very efficient. The restaurant is a bit run down (the bench seating has seen better days) but the focus is the food and not so much the ambiance.

The chef also has very solid fundamentals in cooking. My family revisits here almost every month. Some favorite dishes include the hearty pumpkin, taro and pork ribs stew which is good for winter, the deep fried egg yolk pumpkins and shrimps, the Hainan chicken, stir fried beef noodles, pan fried eggplants with green beans, the egg yolk sweet bun and the sweet almond soup which is not often available. Make sure you make reservations ahead of time coz this place is usually packed.

Arrived at 11am when they opened for the day. I was the first one to arrive, but this place got full by noon with families. I picked this place as they had XLB in their menu. But unfortunately, this was machine made - looks and tastes just like famous chain fast-food dumpling place. (of course, here charges more $$ than the chain restaurant). Har Gaw, hot& sour soup, black sesame sweet buns, deep fried dumplings with pork/shrimp are all OK. I wanted to order more but I did not find any small dishes that attract me. I wished they had more variety in their dim sum menu. It is quite limited. Nonetheless - this place was clean, stylish, and affordable. Service was pleasant. So very perfect for girls get together - what we wanted was relaxing/casual environment like here for endless chatting over tea and food that we can share!

I feel like I got to try a little bit of everything and I can give a fair review. They had quite a few dishes that I found more unique than other restaurants. The Chicken Wings Stuffed with Glutinous Rice was an interesting combination. I usually don't eat Glutinous Rice but I would recommend this if you do. I liked the crispy chicken wing skin on it. The Ribs were my favourite dish of the night. It wasn't fall off the bone, but it was very flavourful. They also had a fish dish that I really liked (I'm not sure what it's called). It was fish paste on the inside but the outside (the fish skin) was fried and crispy. Some people thought it tasted too "fishy" but it was fine for me. It also comes with a sauce as well but I had it without the sauce. The shrimp toast was also pretty good. I've had some at other restaurants where I feel like I'm just getting a mouthful of oil when I bite into it, but that's not the case here. The Angus Beef with Scallions was made well. We also got a pot of lobster and crab cooked in a rum and cream sauce. It comes with a side of bread so you can dip it in the sauce. I didn't think this was that good. I prefer the one at Amazing Seafood House - it's more flavourful. This one was a little mild. I didn't like the Sweet & Sour Pork; it was too fatty. With this, I felt like I was biting into a mouthful of oil. For dessert, they served Cashew Paste. I normally love any type of nut paste (cashew, almond, walnut) etc. The flavour of this one was good but the texture was different than what I'm used to. It was thick, but in a gloopy kind of way. The noodles and fried rice were quite generic; same as any other Chinese restaurant. Again, decent restaurant that's worth a try. Def order the ribs and the fish thing!

Overall 3.5 stars…read more We came here for a Chinese New Year eve dinner. The menu was preset, so it wasn't a fair representation of their regular dishes. We ordered 8 dishes, and all tasted quite decent. From soup to dessert, everything tasted quite good. I particularly enjoyed the Spicy Boiled Fish with Pickled Vegetable soup. The Stir-Fried Diced Beef with Mushrooms and Garlic was memorable. The Peking duck was more like a sliced BBQ roast duck, however. Platting of all dishes was professional and pretty. Services was a high point. While the services of some restaurants are delivery-focused; the services level here showed a level of customer-focused. For example, we couldn't eat fast enough to make room on the table for new dishes, so they asked us if we'd like to hold the delivery temporarily. Tea pots were refilled quickly. Empty dishes were cleared out very quickly. They gave us clean plates for the Peking duck. A gentleman who was either the manager or the owner came around to chat us up at the end of the meal. The only reason I didn't give them a higher rating was that they forgot our duck (LOL). We had to remind them that it was on the menu. The duck we ordered was a duck-2-way, meaning there was a second dish that comprised of the duck without the skin. They forgot that portion as well, so we reminded them of it, and then asked them to pack it up as it came as the last dish. Chinese new year eve was a super busy evening; so I could understand the omission. Now that the legendary Maple Yip Restaurant has closed, this new restaurant has good potential to be a go-to Cantonese family restaurant in Scarborough, in my opinion.

The portions are decent for the price. Every dish looked like a pic. We had to ask for hot sauce and mustard, but with everything else being spot on, could dock a point for that. All the food came to the table hot and fresh. The deep fried crispy came to the table hot, we had to let it cool. We were very pleased with the quality . The service was excellent. When we put our tea pot to the side, it was filled promptly. They even changed my tea cup plate when I wasn't looking, to remove the bones. It's very clean, a great ambiance. Although well decorated with fancy ceiling lights, fabric table cloths and chair covers, it had a very relaxed homey feeling. It was very comfortable and cozy. We checked out the set menus and they looked good, and were reasonably priced. but you need to read Chinese or have a translation on your phone. It's a place we will be hosting my husband's family at in the future based on this experience.

This is our favourite South Western Chinese restaurant. The food is truly sublime…read more We have traveled to Xi'an and fell in love with the cuisine. The Sha'anxi style of cooking is unique within China. We decided on the large chicken platter (with vegetables) in a gorgeous cumin/chili/fenugreek/tomato based gravy. We ordered two cold side dishes: shredded potato and shredded seaweed. We received sweet grass jelly dessert. This is an authentic South Western Chinese restaurant.

They no longer offer any size item for the price of small before 11am. Instead, if you place your order before 11am, you get a 20% discount off your bill. You must also pay with cash and at the time of ordering. An automatic 12% service charge is applied. Tea is $2.50 per person. I thought the dim sum items were really good. Not too salty and flavored well. This was also the first time I've seen siu mai served with 5 pieces instead of the usual 4 (ate one before the video) The egg yolk sesame ball was my favorite. Food came out in a timely manner. Staffs were not the kindest and having us pay up front threw me off. However taste wise is very good.

We decided to dine in for a family birthday on this occasion. Service was pretty good, order was taken promptly and deliver correctly, got all dishes in a timely manner. Food: Roasted duck was perfectly cooked with almost all the fat rendered creating a super crispy and crunchy skin. Meat itself was flavorful and tender. Beef cubes with potato and broccoli - the steak cubes were cooked well with a slightly sweet glaze. The potatoes are super tender and also have a nice glaze on top. The broccoli was cooked well though on the firm side. Stir fried snow pea leaves in mushroom sauce was deliciously tender with a savory and salty mushroom sauce. Lobster - fairly typical - good cook but a bit on the small side. Oysters and onions in hotpot. Oysters were cooked well and decently big. Fish slices with stir fried vegetables. The fish was nice and tender with good seasoning and just a hint of spice. The vegetables were also cooked perfectly and season well. Fish soup - this was a nice dish with good fish flavor, tofu, fish pieces and root vegetables. Overall, a pretty good meal for a decent priced restaurant.

Came here because I heard that their Markham location (which we frequented to) closed recently…read more... sad. But also glad that it had another location. We drove up hoping that they have the same quality of food! And they do!! And they had extra menu- XLB! Bonus! When one door shuts, another opens kid of scenario!!! Yey! Food was exactly what we were looking for in Markham location. Juicy dumpling with perfect seasoning. I cannot live without their sour cabbage and pork dumpling. The XLB was not the type that I look for in XLB - it had no soup, and with stronger seasonings. BUT the wrapper was very tasty. Their dumpling skins are good no matter what I order. It is a tasty dumpling itself although I hesitate to call it as Xiao long bao. Soup had defined spiciness & sourness, knocking me out as usual. First time we tried Mapo Tofu. Loved this! Hit delicate balance of heat, freshly ground Sichuan peppercorns aroma, and rich fermented bean paste flavor. I am so looking forward to coming back. This location is more spacious and refined interior. Comfortable.

My hopes were high and I thought maybe it would have the old school traditional wok hay to expect from these restaurant. Unfortunately I was sorely disappointed. It isnt bad mind you. But it also did not standout at all. The dishes were all cooked in an average run of the mill even HK cafes would've done about the same or better. It is a place I wouldn' t recommend you to go unless you are desperate for Cantonese food. It's price and service was okay. But the food is ultimately why you come to these places. Overall I wouldn't come here again.
