When we raised the issue, a short young manager named Kenny didn't bother checking with the kitchen. He immediately insisted the portion was correct and rudely implied we just didn't want to pay for the lobster. Very disrespectful -- a stark contrast to the other servers, who were all polite. We've ordered this exact dish many times before and know what a proper portion looks like. Management should train staff to investigate complaints professionally instead of accusing loyal customers. Kenny's attitude treated the customers is totally not acceptable !!! 我们是这家店的老顾客了,但昨晚的用餐体验非常令人失望。我们像往常一样点了5.3磅的龙虾牛排套餐外加一份炒饭，供5人食用（中秋家庭聚餐）----以前吃完通常还有剩余可以打包，但这次龙虾的份量明显比以前少,根本不够吃。 当我们提出这个问题时,一位叫Kenny的矮个子年轻经理居然没有先去后厨了解情况,就一口咬定份量没有问题,还很不礼貌地暗示我们是不想付龙虾的钱。态度非常没有礼貌----和其他态度友善的服务员形成了鲜明对比。 我们点这道菜已经很多次了,很清楚正常的份量应该是多少。餐厅管理层应该培训员工遇到投诉时先去核实情况,而不是上来就指责老顾客。Kenny对待顾客的这种态度完全不能接受!!!

Atmosphere was beautiful and chic. Recommended by all, lobster three ways was what we selected. Infamous lobster tower with fries and two other lobster options. All delicious. The fried fish was also excellent. Steak was good and nice they served it on top of a candle so that it keeps warm or continue to cook. Same with the tea that's served - displayed on a set that keeps the tea hot. We ordered e-noodles and veggies. The veggies were cooked well. You can tell they get high quality food deliveries from their vendors. The noodles were just ok. Their specialties lie in the steak and seafood.

The whole showing of the lobsters & crab before they cook it, tower of HK style fried lobster, and lots of accompanying Chinese dishes can be a crowd pleaser. Personally for me- there wasn't a lot of pay off of crab meat after wrestling at its shell. The lobster was good but the flavour was disguised from all the deep friedness & oil. Apparently the bed of fries used to be a higher quality side in the past too.

One thing that wasn't good was they had a wedding in the main area and they were incredibly loud. Should close all the doors to muffle the sound but they didn't. Peking duck was fantastic. Nicely cooked duck, crispy skin, very thin wraps. It comes with onions and cantaloupe. Cantaloupe was a first for me and I didn't like it. Lobster was cooked with garlic and green onions. Delicious. However they only gave us the pieces with a lot of meat and the lesser meat pieces were nowhere to be found. Didn't like that as we would still want to eat it. Snow pea leaves with garlic was a good portion. A touch undercooked though. Pigeons were delicious and large. Great flavour. Sirloin stir fried beef cubes was also quite nice. Walnuts were nice and sweet. Desserts are way too sweet. Cookie was nice and even warmed.

Place is small, and waiting for a table is de rigor. We placed our name in the Google waitlist, then waited another hour to be seated on Friday night. Based on reviews, got the Singapore chili crabs with the king oyster mushrooms (under the crab it soaked up all the goodness), spicy clams garlic veggies and the beef in black pepper/garlic. All were well done, the veggies had great wokhai, met with appreciation at the table. Clams and crabs were spicy for some and ok for others (our table was Cantonese and Korean). Crab was delicious, and the sauce called for rice to be mixed in after the crab was done. It filled us, but not too much. Next time we might try other sauces, but the Singapore chili sauce was killer. Totally worth the money and the hassle. In a mall full of other restaurants this place was the busiest. Very cute decor and free ice cream!

Tried 紫蘭軒 Purple Orchid for the first time and unfortunately it wasn't really my forte…read more Considering it's a relatively new restaurant, I was a little surprised by how basic and older everything inside felt. It's definitely a very casual dining environment. The tables are actually chunky mahjong tables covered with disposable tablecloths, so don't come expecting much in terms of atmosphere. Service was pretty average as well. Some of our dishes took quite a while to come out, and after waiting for so long, we eventually ended up cancelling a few of the remaining dishes. The food itself was a bit of a mixed bag. Some dishes were alright, but overall there wasn't anything that really stood out or made us want to come back. One thing to be aware of is that they automatically add a 12% service charge to the bill before tax, on top of the tea charge that you already typically pay at dim sum restaurants. Personally, I'm not a fan of automatic service charges, especially when the service itself was just average. Not every restaurant is going to be everyone's cup of tea, but unfortunately this one just wasn't for us and I don't think we'd come back.

I don't believe this applies to any of their specialities though. Quality of the dum sum is alright, a few of the key items could be better: char sui bao (a bit dry), egg tarts (filling is ok, could use more of it), beef balls (had sooo much starch mixed in). The staff were very friendly and the overall feel of the resto is ok. A little dated but still had comfortable seating and it wasn't over crowded. If you're looking for a dim sum place that is a little less crowded, I would recommend this resto!

The latter came out very quickly and hot and was so delicious. I think that was my most favourite dish I ate. It also came with green peppers that were pickled which was quite bitter and salty. The chicken was charred very nicely but did not have that much flavour. I still enjoyed it with the side dishes. At the end of our dinner, we also got complimentary Turkish tea which was very nice of them. I only had a sip as I didn't want too much caffeine at night. Service was excellent.

One star for the convoluted business that it is…read more So I arrived at the restaurant to take my mom out for a fun night of Egyptian food, the restaurant occupied two commercial units thought its very unusual why they don't unify it was one unit. One side is for takeout but patrons are sitting there to dine in and the other side is for dine in, but the employees also do take out. Confusing YES. So I arrived in blindly following a line. I eventually tapped the person behind me, is this the line to get a table. He says no it's the line to order... okay. About 20min in the line I finally get the deal what everyone is doing, they order their seafood order at the front where the precious alive seafood is stored- it's like a pick what you eat counter. So I order their sangarita with a salad and yellow rice and a calamari with no sides (you save like $4 for just skipping that). After ordering she asked if I had a table?? I said no, then she comes out with seven yellow sticky notes and says there are 6 parties waiting for a table. I asked how long? Maybe 40min. She also advises me that i can put myself on the list for a table and she can hold my order up to 45min- they won't start cooking until you have a table. So I asked how long for takeout, she says 20min. Well I did my math, I waited 20min in line, and 20min for food that is not partially cooked so 40min, I can live with that. Watched the server rip the slip, and just fyi the fish was charged at $35/kg costing $60 and the calamari at 1lb was $22. She asked me to wait on the side, saw her put the slip with the raw fish and placed it ON THE FLOOR behind the counter. As I waited on the side I can see quite a number of orders piled in Rubbermaid containers on the floor. Behind the counter I can see the coats of the employees piled up next to what looks like to be the washed cutlery for table service and the employees use the same yellow rag to wipe every cutlery. I also saw employees clear the tables and return to prepare more cutlery- did they wash their hand in the kitchen??? I was then prompt to pay on their pay unit. It prompted me tip. SKIP tip for takeout. Then she tells me it's 2% charge if I pay credit card no charge for debit. So I pay debit. I waited patiently, I stood near the washroom and overheard how a male customer found a $100 bill in the washroom and handed it to the restaurant- they didn't even ask around if anyone dropped it. Then when I had waited 30min (10min past the estimated time, I asked for an update ). They assured me 10 more minutes. Then after 10min I asked again, they said 1min. And then they came out with my take out. The gave me a complimentary hummus for the slow service, but I don't think it made up for the undersized sides they served me. Just look at my pic and look at the website photo. Overall , if you have 2-3hours this is your place. THIS PLACE WAS ABSOLUTELY CHAOS! I'm questioning food stored on the floor even though it's in a Rubbermaid and then that bin placed back on the scale, touched by the gloved hands and potentially cross contaminating food. During the whole time I didn't see anyone clean or mop the floor- what if people are trekking sidewalk salt in the winter. I am really concerned. Eat dangerously here if you want. I do say the food was seasoned well but won't be returning.
