I recommend checking & opening the containers before leaving the restaurant, however. I asked for vegetables to be cooked until very soft for my elderly mother's weak teeth. They were not cooked soft. Perhaps communication error. Nice family-run place. I am used to Chinese-American cooking, which this is not. It seems authentic Chinese. A mandarin-speaking couple was dining in while I was there. Prices were higher than what I was used to for Chinese takeout. But I am new to the area and this is an upscale neighborhood.

All the spots in this complex have a restaurant name on them, and we could not find any with Cherry Food House on them. I noticed everyone just parked anywhere, regardless of which restaurant. This place is busy! I would suggest booking ahead. Service is very friendly but hard to flag down because they are busy. The call button at the table didn't work. The food has big portions, especially the big pots. Normal price could be around $50+, but the budaejjigae is $37 here, and the pan was wide and deep. However, the downside was the taste. It does taste like normal Korean food, and things are a bit off. The budaejjigae feels like it didn't have dashi in it. The seafood green onion pancake was 90% imitation crab. Pajeons are supposed to be mainly green onion, but this felt like a cake of imitation crab only. Maybe a couple of pieces of green onion, cuttlefish, and shrimp. The fried chicken was ok. They serve free dessert at the end - feels like some pudding with sweet syrup. If you don't mind about taste and just want a lot of food for cheap then this is for you.

Hmm this is one of those restaurants that's hard to pinpoint what's really bad about it because…read moreit's neither good nor bad. Then why 2-stars? The taste of every dish is not horribly bad but it fails authenticity. I came with expectations for Korean but was disappointed. *Kalbi: cut of beef is not the good cut as it is thicker and is fatty. This cut is often seen in Chinese grocery store where it's cheaper, fattier and thicker. Also, it not marinated well. *Seafood Pancake: presented nicely - height of dish seems thicker than ordinary. Imitation crab was used to make the swirls on top. I love the crunchiness but then again taste is not quite there. *Deep Fried Mini Crab: interesting dish that's typical of salt and pepper fried dishes in Chinese restaurants. *Pork Bone Hot Pot: I love the straw and shimeji mushrooms added to it. The pork bone is very tender but there's a spice lacking. *Kimchi: tastes sweet without much of the spicy goodness of real kimchi. I like the wide table size that accommodates all the dishes and the side dishes. Servers were attentive.

If you're craving momos and spicy Chinese food, Hakka Momo Corner in Surrey, BC is definitely worth…read morea visit. I've been here twice, and both times the food has been flavorful and satisfying. Their momos are juicy and packed with flavor, and the noodles bring just the right amount of spice. The place recently made some changes, so the taste may have slightly shifted, but it's still a solid spot to satisfy those Indo-Chinese cravings. The ambience is simple and fuss-free, focusing more on the food. I highly recommend the veg chop suey--it's absolutely delicious and a personal favorite!

We ordered the chilli garlic fried rice and chili chicken and liked both of them a lot! They both had a slight kick to them which we really enjoyed. The only negative that I experienced was that they brought our chili garlic noodles first, which we let them know was not what we ordered, so we had to wait for the fried rice. Then we got the fried rice but we waited for about 10 min for a chili chicken to arrive only to realize they forgot to put that order in. I think this would have been fine if the place was busy or we had ordered many items. But we only ordered 4 items out of which 2 of them were wrong or forgotten so I think the service could be more attentive! The service was very friendly otherwise. We enjoyed the food and are looking forward to returning and trying other items.

If…read moreyou go to pickup, their phone number is in the commissionary kitchen's door and when you call up, they will give you the code to get in and pickup your food from the table just inside. You literally see no one. So far, my favorite is their Chirashi Bowl ($23.98) with their fresh sashimi and decent size portions. You can also Choose-Your-Favorite Combo ($19.99) that gives you a choice of Bowl (not the Chirashi though) and choice of 8pc Roll. I like their Unagi Crab Roll, its like a California Roll with Unagi on top. Their entrees that comes with the combos have tasted very bland to me though. I've tried the Scallop Risotto which did not have a rich/fragrant flavor I like in my risottos so I found this super bland. And recently I tried their Beef Rib Bowl which looked more like a Beef Tongue Bowl (there was no bone and it was super tender) and again, was on the underseasoned side. But it WAS super filling so their portion sizes again are good.

I had no expectations walking in and didn't have any expectations. I was surprised that the portions were actually decent. My boyfriend's favourite was the jumbo prawns-- he liked the texture and flavour! It was the opposite for me.. I thought the outside made it hard to eat and it was a little too salty for me. Their salmon don and chicken karaage was superb though. Flavours were on point for both and I just really enjoyed them overall. We both agreed that the beef tartare was nothing special. Didn't really taste the freshness of the beef. This was a pleasant experience overall!

Second time visiting the Aberdeen location - wasn't very…read morebusy on Wednesday afternoon, so got seated instantly. Place was clean, however rest rooms could use some attention, the floor was sticky and the handles as well. Note, you do not get a tablet at this location, so you will scan a QR code and order a few items through the waiter/waitress like the meats, the rest are available on the cold bars. A pretty decent spread, however the hot food goods were pretty lackluster. The tarts were kind of underbaked - and the pastry was somewhat doughy. Meats and vegetables were fresh and up to standard, and I quite like the fish here! I'm not sure if anyone else experiences this here, but I find the stove quality is not good - even at max P5 , it takes several minutes to get your pot to boil, I've only noticed the lower power at this location. Will likely re-visit one day when in the area -

The restaurant was full for dinner so that is always a good sign! We ordered the xiao long bao, honey mustard prawn balls, shredded tofu with cordyceps flower and lettuce, and fried eel with oil. Each was flavoured packed and hit the spot! My favourites are the shredded tofu with cordyceps flower and lettuce and fried eel with oil. The fried eel dish has tinny slither of eel meat that is braised in a sweet soy sauce. It was soo good with a big bowl of rice - the rice just soaks up the sauce perfectly! And I love that it is deboned! There were so many dishes we wanted to try from the menu that we didn't get to this visit but we hope to be back again!

Since this was our first time dining here, the servers explained some of the items on the menu. They are very kind and very honest. The food however was only okay. My favorite was the noodle dish with the chili chicken. That was probably the best dish. The chicken was tender, slightly spicy, slightly sweet and flavorful. It came with a decent amount of noodles. I tried both the salty and the sweet homemade tofu pudding. The tofu was so silky and soft and smooth. I preferred the savory one, although I skipped out on the chili oil. I feel like next time I will get it with chili oil. The XLB was only okay. Unfortunately, I did not find it very flavorful. The Yangzhou style layer cake was okay. A little plain but it had a nice sweetness and I liked the little bits on top. Would I come back? Sure if an event called for it. Maybe I didn't order the right items but they have a lot on their menu so I would like to go back one day to maybe try some of their more popular items.

The place is much like Bigway, you can get a pot and build your own hotpot to cook, or you can do their pre-set happy meal, which is what we did. We both ordered the beef set, with different type of broth. There were 12 different kind of broth to choose from. One of us ordered the original beef bone broth, which was very tasty. I ordered the spicy broth mild, which was what the cashier suggested. Guess what, their spicy broth is on a whole different level compare to other places. The mild level of spicy can be rated extra spicy in other places! It was so spicy that I could barely feel my tongue. I had a pallet for spicy food, but this one was a bit too much. They also forgot my noodles that was suppose to come with the set, and after I showed them, they made some and brought it out in a separate pot with some bone broth. I was very happy to pour all the extra bone broth to my spicy pot to dilute the spiciness? And thankful I listened to the server's recommendation to go for the mild. Over all, this place is very clean and organized. Parking has always been an issue for this plaza, so be prepared for the several loop around. It's not as busy as other individual pot restaurants, but it's a decent one. I'll definitely go back if I'm in the neighborhood. And I will learn my lesson not to order any spicy broth, unless I want my mouth to be on fire again!

Crisp and refreshing, especially great for cutting through the greasiness from all the food court eats. Overall, quick no-frills service and a refreshing start to any Parker Place food court adventure.

You can also get a regular HK style French Toast for $5. The lava cream on top was milky and not really sweet.

For the Combo B, you can choose what type of noodles you want. The satay beef was really good. The pineapple bun was pretty average though but the butter helps.
