    Decided to try Ying Li because I heard Chinese food is best by the border and they weren't kidding!…read more After a recent trip to Hong Kong, my husband and I were craving some Chinese Food. I usually go to Convoy but wanted to try something different. When I looked at their bbq pork photo on yelp, I knew I had to try it. We ordered the shrimp egg foo yong, bbq pork fried rice and duck wonton noodle soup. All of them were very good. I also liked that they box up your meal after you're done even though there is a small fee to do so, which I don't mind since I usually end up spilling food on myself when I do it. They also offered lemon with water and chopsticks. Service was quick & friendly and the lady even added extra broth to our wonton noodle soup. Most of the servers spoke in Spanish and the menu is even in Spanglish. My husband and I loved the food & unique atmosphere of Chinese servers speaking Spanish. Parking: Right next to 24/7 and Tortilla de Harina Price: $$ (Around $15-20 for an entree but portion is for 3 people - LOTS OF MEAT) Recommendation: Bbq pork and wonton noodle soup as well as the lunch special

    If you're looking for a very good Chinese food spot this is the place to go great food great…read moreservice clean place and that I mentioned great food!! Everything that I had was amazing!!! Can't wait to go back and eat here again I highly recommend the red pork meat. Best I've had.

    This place named itself "sushi bar," but it also says it's an authentic Mexican seafood restaurant?…read moreThat feels like an identity crisis lol. I was given chips, salsa, and an appetizer soup thing in a cup. The chips were fine. I thought the soup was alright. I didn't like the salsa as I found it too watery and lacking in flavor, more like a hot sauce than a salsa. I ordered two hand rolls, a spicy tuna roll and a salmon skin roll. I thought they were good. I found the salmon skin too crispy and deep fried for my preference, but it was still good. Finally, I realized that not only do I never eat authentic Mexican seafood, I'm not even sure what that entails. So I dug through the menu and saw something called "Don Tono," described as stuffed with seafood, but without much other explanation. I asked the waitress what this Don Tono is exactly, and to my surprise, she wasn't sure either. So, of course I had to order it. It was a big thing of aluminum foil with goodies inside, kinda like a seafood bake. It was good, although I found the flavor to be a undertuned. I would've liked some Cajun seasoning. The best texture and taste was probably the fish itself as it was light and flaky without being mushy, and it absorbed the umami of some of the other seafood. I thought the shrimp and shellfish were just okay, and maybe just a tad overcooked for me. Honestly, I was also not a huge fan of the cheese here; I feel like it doesn't quite fit. I also got some rice and salad with it, which were both fine.

    I got a couple rolls to go as well as some edamame. All serviceable, nothing remarkable but an…read moreinexpensive option for some decent sushi! Fun decor in this place! When I came in to pick up my food there was no one at the host stand and it seems like there was one waiter running the whole show during busy lunch time. Little teeny tiny parking lot but it's right across from the shopping centre parking so not a big deal.
