It's a Wednesday night, there were only a few tables of guests, with only 2 servers, we're unable to get attention, we almost finished 2 dishes and had to chase for the fried pork chops, apparently they had missed the order despite not so many guests. We found their dishes are getting too salty overall and asked for reduced salt, but the dishes were equally salty. It's sad they're unable to maintain standard both service and food wise.

Items that I got this visit: - har gow shrimp dumplings: overall pretty good, but the wrapper was a bit thicker than I expected. Would prefer a thinning dumpling wrapper - chicken feet: excellent, very tender and flavor was great - tofu skin wrap in abalone sauce: pretty good, the meat inside was lean and well balanced with the veggies - spare ribs in black bean sauce: this was a bit of a disappointment. The ribs were a bit tough and also underseasoned. It could have used some more salt and some extra cook time. Service was fine, nothing special. The restaurant overall was pretty nice and modern. I hope to come back sometime and try some other dishes.

There were a good number of tables available and we were seated right away. We shared the following: -Crab meat, egg white, and fish maw super bowl congee -Shredded pork with preserved egg and salted egg congee -Cantonese chow mein -BBQ rice noodle roll -Fried dough fritter / Youtiao -Turnip cake Food came out fast and it was plentiful. Both the congees we ordered were the small size but it was bigger than expected. Both were good but my child and I both preferred the shredded pork with preserved and salted egg congee. The youtiao was fresh and crispy and went well with the congee. The BBQ rice noodle roll was good but pretty standard. The turnip cake came out as a big platter of small bite size pieces which was a surprise. It was okay (not as flavorful) but I prefer the large square pieces. They gave us dessert soup at the end which was good but I had no room in my stomach to eat it. We realized we over ordered for a group of 3 adults and 1 child and packed everything to take home except the youtiao and BBQ rice noodle roll.

Located in The Chase plaza, this Chinese restaurant serves Cantonese cuisine. Lots of parking…read moreavailable. The decor and interior is a bit rundown -- the booth we sat in had duct tape over the seat to keep it together -- leftover from previous restaurants that were in this unit. But it is a large dining space that comfortably fits lots of people -- good for large and small groups. Service is very slow -- even on a week night. It's very hard to get their attention for assistance. Unlike typical Chinese restaurants, they don't seem to hurry to flip tables. Prices are reasonable, and portion is good. Food can be a hit or miss. At a recent dinner with family, we ordered: Steamed Chicken, Stir-fry Green Beans, Sweet & Sour Pork, Pumpkin with Salted Egg Yolk and an Egg White Fried Rice. The meal came with a free chicken soup to start and that was good. The fried rice and chicken were good. The other three dishes tasted ok but were more fatty and greasy. Couldn't eat much of them, and put a damper on the whole meal. On a previous visit, we did have a very good wonton noodle soup. That's probably the only thing I'd return for. Overall, this please really is "just OK". Would choose other restaurants in Mississauga before this one. But in a pinch, it would do. Also FYI: If you have leftovers, note that they charge extra for each takeaway container you request! So bring your own containers, or finish all your food if possible.

If you're ordering from the "Large Plate" section of the menu, make sure you come with a healthy appetite--the portions are generous and meant to be savored.

The short ribs were tender, rich, and packed with flavor, while the black truffle elevated the chicken into something truly memorable. From the ambiance to the incredible food, every detail made for a wonderful evening. Lai Wah Heen is an excellent choice for a romantic dinner or any occasion worth celebrating.

First visit to Wok Theory on a weekend located in Chinatown and was seated as soon as I walked in…read more The restaurant became busy shortly after and unfortunately as a result the service was impacted. The dim sum menu ranges from S-M-L-XL-SP-XP pricing ($5.38-$12.88). A lot of the items are considered L or XL but I think price is reasonable and is comparable to restaurants uptown in Markham / Richmond Hill. There is a tea charge of $1.50 per person indicated on the menu. Ordered: Congee with lean pork and preserved egg, Shrimp and Chives dumpling, Curry Squid, Ha Cheung, Bean Curd Roll with mushrooms and Stuffed eggplants & peppers. Food was fresh and had good flavours - no overwhelming MSG taste! The dumplings especially stood out and they didn't skimp on the shrimp filling. Overall, I'd recommend Wok Theory if you're in Chinatown but be aware service can be slow. Speak up and ask if your food is taking a while. For us we waited almost 20 minutes and other tables received theirs before us. So, despite the lack in service ; the quality in food would welcome another visit!

My go-to dish is always the e-fu noodle w/ minced pork and eggplant. Saucy, slightly spicy and slurpy. Delish. I usually pair it together w/ cold milk tea, zero sugar. Absolutely hits the spot on NFL sundays. Sometimes the chef will have an off day because sometimes the noodles come out a lil dry and not as saucy. I find it hard to complain though ... cuz of that price and the fat portions. Definitely not the nicest aunties working the restaurant when you walk in. You actually get death stares from several of em but if you speak cantonese and you're ordering takeout you'll be fine LOL. 3.5/5 stars (as the food quality is a mixed bag on some days) but I'll round up to 4 stars since the lunch price and portion size is sensational.

But the other servers could be more attentive and pay more attention to their guests during the meal. It took a little while for the servers to check on our table, and they didn't refill our hot tea.

The fried rice was so good, and the water spinach was cooked perfectly. Every dish matched the flavors I love, and we really enjoyed our meal.
