I'm thoroughly impressed, and I really didn't think I would be. When we first moved to St. John's last year, my wife and I drove by this place, and we honestly thought it had been shut down. No cars in the parking lot, broken sign, very dated looking building, all signs pointed to it no longer being open.
Then my boss told me that, even though it looks kind of horrible, it has the best Chinese food he's ever had. I was skeptical, but finally gave it a chance tonight.
We went in, and I was even more skeptical. The decor is kind of odd, and there were only two other people in the restaurant. I was a bit worried. The food quickly remedied any worries I had.
We had the Pu Pu Platter to start, which had ribs, won tons, chicken wings, fried shrimp, skewers and egg rolls. I thought the won tons were just ok, but the chicken wings and ribs were delicious. My wife really liked the egg rolls and loved the shrimp.
We then had Beef with Broccoli, Sweet & Sour Chicken and Chicken Fried Rice. All of them met our (relatively high, imo) expectations of what Chinese Food should be (even if they aren't traditional Chinese dishes), and there was more than enough for the two of us. We have enough left over for at least another meal.
Overall, we definitely plan to go back and try some of the multitude of other dishes (both traditional and modern) that they offer. read more
