You can come on your own and still enjoy a great Peking duck. We were feeling greedy, so we got the combo which came with the Peking duck, fries, quackwich with two drinks. We added the popcorn duck on the side. It was a lot of fried food, however, every item was well made and delicious. The duck was great, with crispy skin and good amount of meat without being too greasy. I particularly enjoyed the duck bones, as the little bits of meat and cartilage was fun to nibble on.

I tried to get a feel when I bought a snack in person and next time time I ordered a combo version. They package things very well with dedicated packaging for all the items and condiments. The crepe are worth a special mention as they are individually separated with parchment. All the items arrived nice and warm though I live very close by. The duck itself is ok but I wasn't expecting a high end version but considering the price point I would say worth it especially if one can't get a group of people to join in. 3.5 stars

This place is more of a takeout kind of spot - but there are 1-2 small tables available for anyone waiting or wanting to dine in. The staff was very nice, talked to the owner and he explained the menu pretty well with recommendations. Food This spot does a lot of classic HK dishes - whether it's snacks or main that's perfect on the go. They recently have a collab with @siupaidon to bring more bold, nostalgic flavours. What I recommend: - Fish Fillet in Rose Sauce - Curry Fish Balls & Berkshire Pork Skin - Mala Spicy Chicken Rice They're all made on the spot and it really has a lot of strong and good flavour. Curry fish balls is my all time favourite, so I'm glad I have another new spot to get it whenever I'm craving it. This little hole-in-the-wall deserves more awareness, so hopefully they continue to bloom and grow!

We really enjoyed it here and will miss the family. We're looking forward to dinner at the new Vanhs and will keep everyone posted. 11/25

Alright I have a lot to say about this visit. I went for dinner around 7pm, with a +1. When we got…read morethere we were sat near the kitchen and bar, towards the back of the restaurant. We ordered the Thai Cold Rolls with Mango, the Thai Yellow Curry with Chicken, and the Pad Thai also with Chicken. Everything was great though the first course but when the entrées came there was a hair (not mine or +1) in the Pad Thai. Luckily, neither of us had eaten any yet, they took it away and offered to have it remade. They also pitched in a Thai Milk Tea as a sort of apology, to which we agreed to both. Servers didn't seem too concerned about the whole ordeal. So, I think that it was overall a pretty mediocre experience. The food was okay, and service could have been better. Waitresses didn't seem to care that much, and were gossiping right behind us. Considering the price, which was around $65, and the experience as a whole, I probably won't go there again. :-( (Forgot to take photos. Will do so for next time.) Cheers, till next time

The Burmese beef curry was actually great, perfect portion and amount of beef for $15. I asked for it to be really spicy and it was, which was very nice. My husband chose this and really enjoyed it I ordered the pho and added shrimp for a total of $15. They gave me a quart of broth, which was very nice and flavorful...and five small shrimp. They included plenty of rice noodles. The toppings could've been more generous. I only got one sprig of mint and I could barely find the green onions or cilantro, literally. Plenty of bean sprouts, tho. The included hot sauce is delicious. The vegetable spring rolls were ok..I wish they had more veggie filling, they were pretty empty. At $6 for three, I don't think they're worth $2 each. All in all, it was a pretty good experience. We'll probably try more of the menu at some point.

When we first walked by, we were unsure whether they were open since they were doing some renovations with the ceiling. Luckily they were fully open and ready to serve some tasty vegan Viet dishes. We split a bowl of pho which had the exact spices and herbs that would normally go into making a traditional broth. I loved the tanginess and assortment of flavors all in one hearty bowl of noodles with plenty of mock meats. Being in Canada, we also ordered their poutine with mock meat and gravy. These were okay and I probably shouldn't have expected greatness at a Viet spot, but still fun to try on the side. Besides the construction happening, service here was really nice and we enjoyed our lunch visit for sure.

We recently reminisced about going to Bao Sandwich Bar for lunch between interviews at the University of Waterloo. I had mentioned to him that it had a second location in Mississauga, roughly a fifteen-minute drive from our workplace. He said that when we were both in the office, he'd only want to go there for lunch with me. It's nice that he trusts my judgment when it comes to eateries. I also believe that he likes my company. A couple of Wednesdays ago, he asked what I was doing for lunch. I normally hit Treats nearby. He wasn't feeling it. I said that we could go here and provided some details, including its online menu and such. I also asked him if he had any meetings. I'm that type of a planner, down to the departure time. He was game. I said that we should leave at 11:15 am. The place opens at 11:30 am. He had a meeting at 1 pm. I wanted a leisurely, unrushed lunch. Done! I drove us over there. With my lead foot, it was more like thirteen minutes, without hitting any highway. Like the Bao place in Waterloo, this one is also located on a lower level of a plaza, with a tall building at the top of this hill. I parked in front of the eatery. We walked in. We were the first customers. It looks like the place kept some of the seating from the previous business that occupied the place. The upholstery looked shabby. Otherwise, the rest of the eatery was spruced up. I got a combo consisting of these items: - Crackle belly bao - Korean garlic chicken bao - Purple flower lemonade - Dynasty duck poutine My manager got the following items: - Dynasty duck bao - Thai yum pork bao - House salad - Thai tea I took a star away because I wasn't expecting my order to be $40! It was okay for the large portion of dynastic duck poutine that I got. It was rather steep. You won't see me eating here every day. I split the poutine with my manager, so it was okay. I paid with a credit card. The transaction was smooth. It didn't take long for our food to be ready. The woman who had taken our orders was nice to bring the food to our table. I have always loved the crackle belly bao. It was equally as delicious here as it was in Waterloo. The pork belly was tasty and perfectly seasoned. The bao was nice and malleable. The veggies provided a nice contrast. I loved it. I tried the Korean garlic chicken bao. It was heavenly. The sauce was spicy and garlicky. The chicken had a crispy exterior and was juicy inside. It's nice having another decent bao to call my favourite. The purple flower lemonade was delicious. I normally don't like sweet lemonade. This version had a touch of sweetness that I enjoyed. This drink's colour was also pretty to look at. My manager enjoyed his food. He oddly doesn't like green vegetables, so I saw him pick out the cilantro and green onions. He felt that the sauces were mixed up. His Thai yum pork bao wasn't spicy. The dynasty duck that he has had in the past was oddly spicy. We had a baseline of the dynasty duck poutine that wasn't spicy to compare. Even with the sauce mix-up, he still enjoyed everything. His side salad had a bit of a spice kick, so he was happy. I loved eating here. It was a nice, casual lunch with yummy food. I wish that it were cheaper. However, the quality was excellent that I'm okay shelling out for it as someone who likely won't be dropping by weekly. (67)
